Reviews (page 7 of 7)

don't know what to make of this. I fought my way through to track 11 but then was too annoyed to continue.

Kill my landlord, Kill my landlord. Not my thing!!

Album No.7 I don't really listen to too much rap so probably because I'm not into the genre, I didn't really enjoy it too much, and I felt like it was very long. It didn't really engage me much. Some tracks were good but I wouldn't listen to any by choice. Would give it 1.5/5 Favourites: - Guillotine (Swordz) - Ice Cream

The guy can spit rhymes like breathing but their music it ain't for me. It felt like being thrown words after words after words and I can understand where this is coming from, the East Coast vs West Coast rap and all in between but seriously this album it ain't for me.

Hard for me to be objective as this is definitely not my jam....

As expected. Absolute shit from start to finish! Talentless diarrhea!

The only thing this album gave me was a horrible headache.

Przeluchalam jeden utwór Nie miałam ochoty na rap

The best part of this album was when it was over.

Nicht meins

Absolute rubbish . Know wot I’m saying…son

Rap mixed with dialog as if he's acting in a play / movie

Yo dogg. Bit too gangsta for me. Naaamsayin?

Perfekt när man får craving att dra på sig en tvångströja och placera sig i en madrasserad cell.

Wenn ich diese Aggrotypen schon sehe! Tausendmal nein!

не буду это слушать

Don’t care for rap, especially all the cursing I find unnecessary

Really bad, can't give no stars!!!

Hip Hop, 22eme album => 1/5 J'ai arrêté au 4eme "morceau", vraiment aucun intérêt musical.

Shut up Ray, you are horrible.

I don't like rap and this album did nothing for me

I'm getting too old for this shit.

Hell nahhhhhh

This has not aged well at all. If indeed it was any good when it came out.

This kind of hip-hop isn't really my style. The heavy focus on lyrics over beats and melody gets lost when English isn't my first language and I can't relate to the messages in the songs. This just isn't for me.

not interested

203/1001 🌗🌑🌑🌑🌑 WHAT A PIECE OF SH1T!

This sounds like lots of other albums in a similar vein. Wasn't offensive, but nothing here really grabbed me. If you've heard RaekWON, you've heard 'em all.

Only positive about this album are some of the reviews on here some of which are truly hilarious. Just noticed that today's album is Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here one of my absolute favorite albums. Not going to listen to that today, probably on the weekend with a nice drink and really enjoy myself.

A really, really, really horrible album.

Nope. Not for me. tried it but can't get into it at all

19/9/24 I always wondered what my first one star album would be. This was utterly terrible.

Nope. Sorry. This is just more stereotypical, self-aggrandizing, misogynistic hip hop that all sounds the same. The lyrics are stupid, the music is bad and monotonous, mixing is uneven. There are no redeeming qualities in this at all. I don't connect with this kind of music whatsoever. A waste of an hour and 13 minutes. 0/5

I dunno if it's an off day for me or what, I usually like Wu tang stuff but this one is just not working for me. Will I listen to again: 1%

This album sucks, you know what I mean?

This was just boring. Not sure if I even stayed awake for this one.

Lame attempt at a rap album. Not only did they suck, they sucked for 18 tracks. The beats are boring and the rap is sloppy. The only thing worse than their rapping is the font on the album cover.

Through this project I've been able to engage with more rap and hip hop than I'd expected to, but not this one, sadly. I can get angry about some of the same stuff as the writers, but it's the genre itself that I can't often click with (Public Enemy being a recent exception, I enjoyed that one). I gave up half way through, so probably shouldn't be rating it.

must we hear every album produced by members of the wu-tang clan

No thank you not listening to this

I don’t get it. Seriously. Basic uninspired beats with seemingly mediocre production and lyrics that I couldn’t connect with. I can only assume that my feeling about this mirrors somewhere someone’s feelings about 2/4 A-E-D rock and roll.

p756. 1995. 1 star. Not going to lie, this is the first album on the list that I gave up trying to listen all the way through. Tedious, foul mouthed garbage from guttersnipes. It's fucking horrible.

No idea why this is in the list. Just seemed weak all around

Yeah. No.

It never ceases to amaze me how many critically-l acclaimed hip-hop albums this project conjures. Despite my initial efforts, it’s crap like Cuban Linx that leaves me adamant this genre will never occupy space in my heart. To hell with you who rave about how “culturally important” these songs are or how there’s “strength and presence in the message”. This is purely awful, vulgar, mind-numbing garbage.

i dunno..

Not a fan of the wu-clan gang. All interchangeable gutter lyrics and beats

Yup. I could have passed on this one.

"C'mon son, yeah son, foreal son, Yo son. hell son. Hold that shit son. This is the remix son." God damn, 69 mins of this. I like 69'ers but not 69 mins of this. Cant say i enjoyed this at all. Maybe im not built for hip hop. Maybe you need to be there or something. Do i need to be a gangbanger? It just doesnt do anything for me. Rating 1/5.

Nothing here for me.

Ég hlustaði á alla plötuna og mér fannst ég næstum því hafa bara verið að hlusta á sama lagið á repeat því þau voru öll eins. Ég skil alveg að fólk finnist svona tónlist skemmtileg en ég er ekki í þeim hópi. Mér hefur alltaf fundist þetta vera svo yfirborðskenndir og útúrkreistir töffarataktar. Alls ekki minn smekkur.

I'd rate it 0. Mostly because of the talking bits. Music was fine, but uninspired.

A bit sweary!

Ei toimi kokonaisuutena vaikka 3-5 hyvhköä biisiä.. Huutaa ohi…

I don't like rap, i don't like affected speech and I don't like swearing. I'd rate this minus 3 if I could.

My worst nightmare

I liked Blue Raspberry’s voice on Rainy Dayz and that’s about it! The rest was horrible.

Hell no.

same beats repeating for 4 minutes can work but when you do it for every single song it gets frustrating

Allright. But not something that really sticks out.

Wow - wie alt kann HipHop-Klingen.

Quite an exhausting listen, and I'm still someone who struggles with all the interstitial skits that pepper hip hop albums, but the music itself--no thanks-heard better

Evidence a stupid conservative gave for thinking Taylor Swift is a man. 1. The powers that be (he doesn't clarify who they are) like word games so they made the first two letters of Taylor Swift's name T and S. The same letters of Trans-sexual. 2. She has a "power jaw" "massive forehead" and "castrado proportions" He also exclaimed "that ain't a woman's shape" 3. Travis Kelce took the jab and he's supposedly manly so liberals don't want him to be gay. I disavow all 3 of these reasons. I think Taylor Swift is a woman. There are biological women with her body shape and facial structure. Mr. Conservative has an agenda for wanting Travis Kelce to be gay. He acts like she was created in a lab and some devious scientist was rubbing his hands together and laughing while naming her. Thank you for reading my review of Raekon's Only built for cuban latinx

Music for idiots, by idiots 👍 Boring and mundane, mind-numbingly monotonous and dull. Each song is nauseatingly repetitive. The “songwriting” for each song consists of a generic 4-second beat that is looped for 4 minutes while he raps about boring cliche rap shit I lost 10 IQ points listening to this. This album takes a heavy psychic toll on the listener

Lyrically pained, good base beat and some compelling rap poetry. Unnecessary amount of swearing.

Not a fan of such language in music.

Total garbage.

This was cRAP. I didn't enjoy a single minute of it. I'm definitely not their target audience and don't need this kind of hate, anger and attitude in my life. If zero stars was an option this would have earned it.

Loved this as a youth but can't get past the homophobia these days.

Eeww no. Not my style at all.

I didn't like any of this, I found it boring :(

There is nothing good to say about this album and it feels wrong to even give it one star. What a shitload of crap

Too aggressive, not for me (or for today at least)

Not my cup of tea

I know times have changed but I can’t get behind any album that contains multiple derogatory lines

Not my thing. (But if I'm honest, I'm not the person this album is marketed to.)

Also ran rap with low production and not in a good intentional lo-fi way, just in a “did it in our basement” way.

I didn’t enjoy this one at all. First off, the lyrics. Half of them are essentially unintelligible. With hip-hop, I think being able to actually understand the words is semi important and for half the songs that wasn’t possible. And when you could understand the lyrics, they seemed very inane and superficial. But the worst part was the production. I couldn’t stand it. Way too compressed, which didn’t help the earlier lyrics issues, and very distracting. While there has been a few hip-hop albums on this list that I have enjoyed, this one was not one of them.

Another vote for booting this from the list.

Yet anther Gansta outfit with the usual unimaginative lyrics. There was some music in the background melody but I couldn't be bothered to subject myself to the last three tracks. Does this really count as music or is it just "street" to like it ? I don't ! 1* just to acknowledge that I listened.

There isn't a cliche this person doesn't hit. Person, not musician. This is dire.

I actually didn't finish listening to this one and to be honest I don't really care to

Tried to give this the benefit of the doubt, but nah, not for me, but then why would it be.

Extra boring.

Hooklös enahanda nyoldschoolrap när det finns så mycket bra? Jag har väntat på första hiphopplattan och har en hel del förslag om de behöver.

zzzzzz

Ooof, that was one, hard battle, to get through this album. It took less than 30 seconds into any of the songs, and my mind was drifting away. Not even a one beat or mix hooked me in, nothing seemed enjoyable or interesting. They style of rapping also wasn't my favourite, it was in fact a bit boring, I really couldn't focus on the lyrics that much. I have read about this album as being one of the best in Wu-Tang Clan's members solo career, and also very influential to new generation of hip-hop. Unfortunately, I couldn't see anything of value when listening to this record and all can I do is question the placement of it on this list.

Not my cup of tea

Ugh. No, i just can’t get into rap as a form of music.

Another dreadful album being offered to me. Not even a genre classic

Rubbish.

Not sure how this is one of 1001...

Nope, I still can’t stand hip hop. And while I don’t mind swearing, and practice the practice a lot, it does feel like a kitten dies each time this singer utters another salvo of unnecessary swears.

The kind of hip hop I don’t like

Well, if that isn't another hip hop album. Just add it to the pile. 1/5

You've heard one W-Tang related album you've heard them all. Lyrically and musically tedious. Probably the least talented of the Clan?

Horrible. 1/5

Don't like anything with the "F" word.

Did not like

70 minutes of boredom. The beats and background samples are numbingly repetitive and snooze inducing.

Most of the beats are really boring or just plain bad, and just gets tiring to listen to over and over again for 5 minutes, with no variation. When you reuse a 5 second loop for 5-7 minutes straight, you can at least make it a bit pleasing to listen to. I'll never forget when I first saw Wu-Tang at a festival, worst performers I'd seen and the fans were infinitely worse. Love their incorporation of little snippets of sound from movies and other media to represent their own vision of being fighters in their own life. But the execution is so off that I can't bump it up because of that. 1

“Essential listening for anyone interested in the Wu-Tang Clan.” Not me, then.

No me interesa

Meh. A bit like that recent Wu Tang album but less interesting and even more like a couple of stoners mumbling over some beats.

It's like a what-not-to-do-90s-rap-album. Too many skits, bad tracks, nothing going on. Boring repetitive guff.

-Nice flow in "Guillotine" and "Incarcerated Scarfaces" for like a shirt amount of time -"Ice Cream" has a cool voice at the beginning -Just a not interesting rap album

Really not for me

46 year old white male, hard for me to relate. Just not for me.

Not a fan. 1/5 stars.

August 31, 2021 I really did not enjoy this - it was very long and while the production was good this is not my style of music at all. It just felt like over an hour of either aggressive posturing or misogyny.

Not for me. Not my genre.

Podría no existir y no pasa nada.

I'm sure fans can point out the ways this is different than a Wu-Tang album, but it has the whole group and seems same-y to me. Not my favourite.

Menuda racha de recomendarme porquería...

Not my thing...

Couldn't get hooked by this one at all. Started out strong at the top, setting me up for a concept album about a guy doing what he had to to get his family out of the life. But then it was a lot of gats and bitches and... blargh. Sounds pretty generic to me.

Did not listen entirely; not a fan of rap

yuck, crap.. TERRIBLE

1st track only

Absolutely not for me

Crap. Know what I’m saying’? Yo!

Bad run again at the moment.

I don’t like 90s rap
