1001 Albums Summary

2 songs in so far, truly so beautiful. Have only heard the hits from this, so excited to see/hear more. Goddamn the final hour is crazy The last verse of forgive them father is fucking jumping. Also the snips of a kids classroom at the end of songs is oddly nostalgic for a white kid from WV This is the best r&b, the best gospel hip hop, really kind of the epitome of these genres I think. I don’t know anything about her writing process, but if this bitch is writing this and singing and rapping this, she is truly maybe the best to ever do it, everything that is. It should be criminal to be this talented. Ok, in finishing the album, and having an hour or so to think on it, this shit was the shit. Over all, only due in fact that this isn’t a genre I listen to often, instead of a perfect 5, I’ll say a strong 4.7/5

So far, just finished the first disc. There are a few that stick out, “but not for me”, “I’ve got beginners luck”, and “how long has this been going on”. I will say, it’s a little of a slog sometimes, as so far it’s a very predictable flow, like almost all big band jazz stuff, but I can already tell, on disc 2, since this is I imagine a collection of her songs, I can already hear a difference as we’re getting “newer and newer”. To be honest, I did not finish this. It was 6 discs in total, and I got half way through 4 and stopped. While I did “like” it, and can respect it, its roots and what it inspired, it felt as if I was in a 4 hour Christmas movie 2.9/5
