[Image: blackflag.jpg]

1|Raise the Flag| 3.5
2|Breaking News| 3.5
3|Pe$o ft. Pusha T & Meek Mill| 4.25
- Fucking great sample of Aloe Blac's I need a dollar
4|Black Tuxedo ft Tezo| 1
- This is probably the worst song I have listened to this year.
5|Mind of a Stoner ft. Wiz Khalifa| 3
6|D&G ft. Sean McGee| 4.5
- Another top notch sample with James Blake's Wilhelm Scream
7|Skate Cans| 2.75
8|50 Interlude ft. French Montana| 1.5
- A 4 minute song of cliche sex lines and fucking women. Wow so introspective
9|Baddest| 2.5
10|Miss Me ft. Dub-O| 3.25
11|Sweet Dreams| 3.5
12|Swing Life Away| 4.5
13|Home Soon| 3.75
14|Dark Side of the Moon| 4
Total: 45.5/70 = 3.25/5

I don't have time to write a full review/don't want to. So for some albums I am going to do this thing called the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

The Good
- The production is fantastic. There are varying sub genres in here from boom bap to west coast to trap. There are some fantastic samples that really kept my ear to the song.

- There are some good guest spots from Pusha T, Dub-O, and even Meek Mill.

- I like MGK's voice and how he rides the beats.

The Bad
- MGK's subject matter is so plain and blah. I have heard it thousands of times and he doesn't do it any better.

-His lyrics are also very average. You can tell he is trying to be introspective but he only pulls those emotions that are on the surface. Great rappers find a way to bring the emotion that is below the surface, and MGK doesn't accomplish it.

The Ugly
- Songs 7 through 9 is potentially the worst stretch of songs that I have heard this year.

- Black Tuxedo is the worst song I have heard in a long time.

I actually agree with most of what JayTee says. I was a little more lenient on songs because I enjoyed them but pretty solid review by JT I liked Skate Cans and Baddest though. But yeah Black Tuxedo is the biggest POS I've heard this year

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

My rating including the garbage with French Montana is a 4.10 fwiw. Still one of my favorite mixtapes recently. Love his style and energy

He also had one of my biggest pet peeves in music on this album. Incorrect pop culture reference.

Which one?

I didn't really break down lyrics or listen to them 100% as I'm usually listening while doing something else, so I mainly just go with how I enjoy the song and the flow. So my rating would probably be lower if I factored that in as alot of his lyrics are pretty corny.
