Dudes didn't have to be this lyrically masterful.

The music on this album is ok, but it's way too long. The first half "Get Rich" an alternative rock album, the second half "Die Ryan" a rap album. The performance and songs are nice, but the lyrics fail. Even considering they are supposed to be funny a lot of the time, they are shallow and all about frustration and blaming others.

Seems like there a lot more going on here, than I had time to take in today. I’m liking what I heard though, it’s got more of a punk ethos than a lot of the punk records on the original list. DIY but with talent and something to say. I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and go 5 stars, to try and make sure I listen to more when I can find the time. Nice recommendation OP.

This was overall sort of forgettable. The definition of a 3 star album (for me)... ...EXCEPT "Dudes". That was an awesome song and I had to stop what I was doing and read the lyrics. What a banger. Great lyrics and samples. Rest of the album was not as good, but "Dudes" alone is worth an extra star. "Motherfuckers (Bring You Down)" was a fun song too.

I think I was turned off by Spose due to his silly music video's but listening to Get Rich or Die Ryan has been fun. I'll check out some of his other albums/EP's based on this reintroduction.

Not sure this needed to be 90+ minutes long. Especially since this guy rapped about being a dad of 4 kids for a quarter of the songs. I know more about this guys life than most of my coworkers. Lyrically he has skills and combines humor within the raps that make it entertaining at times. Several of the songs also offer some unique perspective that you don’t hear much in rap. Overall it was decent for as corny as some of it was. 6.3/10

The 2 parts are really different. I likes the first part, but was a bit disappointed hearing the second, expecting more of the same

90+ minutes? I guess it better be good... Got around to listening to this today. Some of it was pretty good. But man it went on for far too long. I feel like a strong editorial hand might help here. Not a fan but I don’t hate it.

From reading the description I expected to be annoyed by this, but it really wasn't what I expected, and though it's not really my kind of thing, it had some interesting things going on musically and lyrically.

Comedy hip hop, alternative hip hop, hipster hop. Ni fu ni fa.

What an insane, fascinating album; I have so many thoughts. First, spose music that is not called I’m awesome is something I did not know existed. Second, this is one of the corniest rap albums I’ve ever listened to rivaling only tom Macdonald and hopsin. Third, it’s the most shallow and obvious “I’m gonna speak my mind on everything going on in the world” that’s more of a window into Ryan’s psyche than anything Rather than just recount all of the dumb stuff he talks about I’m gonna try to describe spose based on this album: He’s a recently divorced father of four who really likes tennis and smoking weed. He apparently had a rough childhood (that I thought sonically sounded straight out of illmatic right before he name dropped nas) and struggles with mental health and being a father and seeing hot women on instagram. Rather than actually engage in politics he takes the teenage redditor position of “everyone’s evil and bad” Finally, he likes to think he respects women with a song dedicated to how cool they are then undermines that with literally every single bar on the Instagram model song. Normally, cringe like this would’ve made me turn it off right away but the beats and flow were just good enough and the lyrics just funny and ridiculous enough that it kept me going through 96!! Minutes. Basically

I can’t deny this LP has heart, but man is it dumb as fuck. Would’ve loved to see the audio tech’s face on some of the vocal takes here, and can’t imagine how much this guy spent on studio time to make nearly 100 minutes of Limp Bizkit revival meets AJR.

There are flashes of something interesting here, but man, do I find Spose's vocal annoying. Also, yes, it's way too long.

Hearing a bar about "sus amogus" 90 fucking minutes into this godforsaken album felt like biting the curb. It's not horrible. The flows are pretty good at times, but Jesus Christ, this has to be the corniest shit I've ever heard in my life.

This looks like it's gonna be dumb. Oh and it goes for an hour and a half lol. Not fuckin likely. I'll listen to disc 1. Oh Christ, really? This is fucking lame. It raps, it rocks, it sucks. Why would you waste your album choice on this troll attempt? 1/5.
