1001 Albums Summary

THE COVER, very 80s My Adidas- very wholesome: talking about not liking pimps, represents how emblematic these shoes are for the hip hop community, laid back: 5.5/10 Son of Byford Interlude: fun little beatboxing situation: 6/10 Raising Hell: heavier rock guitar, it's pretty good, prefer My Adidas: 5/10 It's Live: the breakdown where they say "Is it Live" is good, the slapping women line is WILD, the ending is fire: 5/10 Proud to be Black: scratching in the start is HEAT, "Don't worry about what color I am... Because I'll show you how I'll this man can act" encouraging people to be excellent, his Malcom X bar I don't agree with, if black history was a song 😂: 7/10 Dumb Girl: message is good- you know the guy doesn't like you but you stay for his money & has lots of sex & doesn't increase her mind 5/10 It's Tricky: beat is the most exciting yet! They mention how drugs are so easy yet they don't take them: 6/10 Peter Piper: nursery rhymes in rap form, they mention Grandmaster Flash but respectfully (not tearing down others while still being confident): 5/10 Perfection: reminds me of how rhymes used to require good vocabulary You be Illin: don't be a drunkard: 5/10 Hit it Run: the mixing with 'Run' and the beatboxing: 5/10 Walk this Way: the Aerosmith feature is amazing: 7.2/10 *The same beat for every song 😂, lyrics are decent but not super creative, no inventive breakdowns: 5/10- wouldn't listen again
