1001 Albums Summary

Lots of sampling and inspiration from Atomic Dog apparently The bass and overall flow is on point but the lyrics I personally cant relate too less lol, basically the opposite kind of life that i lead and want to lead On that note though most of the lyrics are sexist/misogynist/objectifying as hell

Every song was very relaxed and chill but i dont know if i could have told any of them apart if i listened to them blind definitely something id play i the background of hanging with friends, probably stoned, but it'd feel weird to listen to it solo, for me anyway

Lots of classic American vibes, but ngl after about 4 songs they start to blend together and the basslines seem to be kinda the same

Suchhhh a good flow and honestly i think im gonna add Punchbag and Angryman to my liked list, probably also A Minha Menina

Wesley’s Theory, ok but didn’t necessarily do anything for me For Free? I wanna memorize so badly King Kunta is phenomenal to groove to These Walls was pretty good but I thought it could’ve sounded hotter Alright was hopeful and peak HMaDC was a really good story Fuckkk man, that last verse of Berry is crazy I love myself and i Mortal Man is humble and poetry, and it’s crazy that this album was written 3 years before George Floyd, I still don’t think we’ve seen a true riot or level of violence that Tupac describes is coming “next time” like what LA was experiencing at that time in the 90s. Overall, while there are a lot of songs that I can only think about externally and enjoy the sound of because I am both white and grew up affluently, this album clearly shows that Kendrick is a Virgil of his day and he is by far my favorite rapper

Rolling, Rumour, Set Fire, and Someone definitely all deserved the hype they got back in the 2010s never knew there was a cure cover on that album, its really good tho

Less great songs than I remember as a kid tbh, but also a few that I quite like that don't seem to be liked by many people's. Overall still a very good debut album and I think probably their best

Hadn't heard them before but it feels like this could've been made in the 70s or today, their voices sound a lot like Parcels but with guitars like Pink Floyd

Alr, My Sweet Lord has some great chords and is really catchy. Ok hey wait what was Harrison up to religiously in the 70s? Christian and Hindu syncretism? Is "wah-wah" pussy? I can only assume so, unless it's also used to mean trying to keep clear of sadness (like crying). Was he a sex addict? A few genuinely christian songs, I really wonder what weird blend of religion Harrison was up to at this time. A few good instrumentals in here as well, but not necessarily something I would pull up and listen to. I genuinely wonder what it is that puts me off from just a recording of a guitar jam

just kinda bad

if it wasn't about semi-recent events with a little talking storytelling put in, probably woulda been a 2, but its a 3 for me
