To Pimp A Butterfly
Kendrick Lamar
I never really appreciated this album when it first came out. I think it was because everyone around me was dumping on it so I followed suit (very weak of me).
But listening to it again without tasteless people in my ear telling me it’s trash, it was actually an amazing listen. The instrumentation on the songs, the depth of the lyrics, the constant overarching theme of the album. K-Dot deserved all the praise that I previously believed was unwarranted.
Plus the last song and his “conversation” with Tupac was well done.

This review is a MC REN appreciation review. Quiet on tha set is an onslaught of fly rapping, dope ass flow and a bomb ass beat. I really think he’s underrated and I think he needs his flowers, that is all. Classic album indeed!

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'
50 Cent
In the Bible, it says what goes around, comes around
Hommo shot me, three weeks later he got shot down
Now it’s clear that I’m here for a real reason
'Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain't fuckin' breathin
What can I say? The first album I ever owned. My introduction into Hip Hop. This album shaped me and started my journey into music. 50 really came on the scene with a bang and Get Rich or Die Trying is an album to me that has no skips. His flow, his lyrics, the classic records. Man, what an album!

I didn’t think I was going to like this album because this genre has never been my thing. But like most of the albums that I’ve heard on this journey, I was pleasantly surprised by how great this music sounds to me. I even saved some of these songs to play again. I knew Queen was a legendary group and of course I knew the hits but I never listened to any of their albums. I will now dive deeper into their discography, that’s what I love about this site!

Songs From The Big Chair
Tears For Fears
Ahhh the 80’s a time of vibes and innovation. I love how most of the songs on this album seem like a jam session. I think I might’ve enjoyed the instrumentation more than the lyrics (except on the classic songs of course). They made 8 songs feel a whole lot longer. In all, I enjoyed this listen.

I thoroughly enjoyed this album. I like how it kept me on my toes and didn’t stick to one genre. I think he did a little bit of everything well on this project. However, I think it suffered from the Jack of all trades but master of none syndrome. I would’ve liked to see him lock in on one sound and give us a beautiful experience with it. Ultimately, it was still a solid project. Loved the tribute song to Elliott Smith as well.

I love this type of music.
I think it’s hitting more because it’s raining today.
They really did a good job of capturing the mood of the film with the instrumentation.
I was fooled by the first track in thinking there would be lyrics. Although I love lyrics, it didn’t take away from the album like it usually does for me.

The Score
Fugees
Of course I knew all of the hits but I would’ve never knew the b-sides were just as fire. I love Hip-Hop man, especially the production aspect of it. It’s always amazing to see how they flip records and make them bump in the headphones. This also makes me miss lyrics man, I know all rap isn’t lyricless now but it doesn’t hit the same. I think what I’m trying to say is that I like when music has a message. Of course I like the fun music to that you just dance to. But there’s something special about being able to convey your message in a unique artistic way. That’s what this album accomplishes so well to me. I also want to reiterate that these beats are absolutely insane. I haven’t stopped nodding my head since I pressed play.

Paul Simon
This album sounds like a man who was lost musically and discovered new sounds abroad like the synopsis says. You can hear the joy of discovery in the production and the lyrics. Close your eyes you can picture Paul Simon jumping around, dancing and having fun in the studio while making this. That, my friends, is the absolute magic of music and I’m glad he was able to capture that in the form of sound. I think this is what an epiphany sounds like!

I can’t ever give this lower than 5 stars because what it did for hip hop. Specifically west coast Hip Hop. I understand the argument that Snoop carried this but Snoop didn’t produce this album. The beats are absolutely insane especially for 92’. Dre’s ear is almost impeccable man all of these songs sound incredible. Everything from background vocals to transitions are perfectly placed. Its just classic!

I never listened to this album all the way through before and based off the hits, it’s not what I expected in the best way possible. The stark contrast in the content between the two, even the production and overall mood of the two disc don’t feel the same. I think they did an incredible job of showcasing 3 stacks and Big Bois differences as artists. The music just sounds good to me. Classic album (The hits sound better in the flow of the project)!!

I wasn’t expecting that goofy goober ass song at the end of the album. Felt like I was instantly transported to a silly old cartoon.

But other than that this is a solid project, I had too much to dream last night is a fire way to start off an album too!

I don’t know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn’t this. Listening to this felt like I was watching a budding romance montage scene in a movie for 40+ minutes. Catchy enough to keep your attention but empty enough to not over power the scene. At least it’s not terrible music, just feels very hollow. Like he’s never felt a real emotion in his life.
