Nope. He's dustier than dust. No reason to listen to somebody so dusty.

most 90's rappers are dusty AF but don't have the beats of madlib.

you're missing out <_<

Yeah my sentiments exactly. Oh well let the haters hate. Earl>>>>

So because I don't like an album that makes me a hater? :lol:


And Greg is the grand scheme of things, they are average to good rhymes at best


And Spangs stfu. Madvillany is a classic.

Hating on an album would equal being a hater yes. By definition a hater is someone who hates on something last time I checked

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

Hater:
A person that develops a strong dislike for another, solely basing their own opinion on personal judgment rather than objective merit.


Since music isn't objective I can't be a hater. I just dislike the album.

No need to discuss the best verse of the last 10 years

Most impactful? Maybe. Best? No.

A hater is a derogatory term which refers to a person who expresses hatred in public forums, especially those found on the Internet such as YouTube.

It wasn't that good. Just felt like another verse, it's just cause he calls out decent rappers. You notice he doesn't call out shitty rappers like Keef, Soulja, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz etc.

So what you are saying is you are calling me a derogatory term.


And Dion, why would he mention shitty rappers?

his rhymes are great, but he has no subject matter.

Without subject matter, I don't see how rhymes can be good.

Especially when comparing other artists who dropped projects this year like Killer Mike, El-P and Milo.

like i said MF doom rhymes about nothing and has like 5 great albums.

<div align="center">

Juicy J - Stay Trippy</div>

Stop It: 3.75/5
-Honestly, this shit bangs hard.
Smokin Rollin (ft. Pimp C): 2.25/5
-There's a nice sample from The Weeknd's "High for This" off House of Balloons here that works well in the intro, but otherwise, this song is not very good.
No Heart No Love (ft. Project Pat): 2.5/5
-"Young Chop on the beat", where is Chief Keef?!?!
So Much Money: 2.5/5
Bounce It (ft. Wale & Trey Songz): 3/5
-Admittedly a pretty good strip club jam.
Wax: 1.75/5
Gun Plus a Mask (ft. Yelawolf): 4.25/5
-Shit goes hard and Yelawolf delivers here.
Smoke a ***** (ft. Wiz Khalifa): 3/5
Show Out (ft. Big Sean & Young Jeezy): 2.75/5
-Definition of a club song. Jeezy delivers, but Sean's verse was weak as fuck.
The Woods (ft. Justin Timberlake): 4/5
-Boy is this ever sexed up.
Money a Do It: 3.5/5
Talkin’ Bout (ft. Chris Brown & Wiz Khalifa): 3/5
-Not gonna lie, I was stunned when this one wound up having a decent hook sung by Wiz Khalifa.
All I Blow Is Loud: 2.5/5
Bandz A Make Her Dance (ft. 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne): 3.25/5
-Big time strip club joint without a doubt, haha. Also not horrible, admittedly.
Scholarship (ft. A$AP Rocky): 3.5/5
If I Ain’t: 3/5

48.25/80 -> 3.02/5

I wish he had "One Of Those Nights" featuring The Weeknd on the standard edition, but instead, he's got it on the Best Buy deluxe. That song is dope/10, tbr. Overall, Stay Trippy is a good at producing strip club joints, but other than that, it swings ad misses frequently. However, for what it is, it could have been a lot worse.

<div align="center">

A$AP Ferg - Trap Lord</div>

Let It Go: 3.5/5
-Not horrid, honestly.
Shabba (ft. A$AP Rocky): 3.5/5
-Why do I not hate these first two songs.
Lord (ft. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony): 3/5
Hood Pope: 4/5
-I can't explain this. I'm fully embarrassed.
Fergivicious: 2.5/5
4:02: 3.5/5
Dump Dump: 3/5
Work (Remix) (ft. A$AP Rocky, French Montana, Trinidad James & Schoolboy Q): 2.75/5
Didn’t Wanna Do That: 2.75/5
Murda Something (ft. Waka Flocka Flame): 2/5
Make a Scene (ft. Mada Moiselle): 3.5/5
Fuck Out My Face (ft. B-Real, Onyx & Aston Matthews): 1.5/5
Cocaine Castle: 4/5
-Apparently the beat was made by one of Carlzner's friends. Overall, dark and eerie feel to this one and I like that.

39.5/65 -> 3.04/5

-I am stunned that I am not calling this a complete and utter failure. As a whole, is it a good album? Nah, but is pure hot unadulterated trash? Nah. It is actually ok for what it is, much like Stay Trippy. I am slightly impressed by A$AP Ferg, though I wish he focused on making more songs like "Cocaine Castle".

<div align="center">

Big Sean - Hall of Fame</div>

Nothing Is Stopping You: 3.75/5
Fire: 4/5
-Issue is the repeating "Fire fire fire fire fire fire" throughout the song. It gets tiring, but I like the feel of this song regardless.
10 2 10: 2.75/5
-The intro has an epic feel and then it goes downhill from there.
Toyota Music: 4/5
You Don’t Know: 4.25/5
Beware (ft. Lil Wayne & Jhene Aiko): 4.25/5
-Shockingly enough, Lil Wayne doesn't ruin a strong performance from Medium Sean and Jhene.
First Chain (ft. Nas & Kid Cudi): 4.25/5
-Good stuff here. Cudi definitely delivers here.
Mona Lisa: 4/5
-Da Internz done blessed this shit with the best beat I've heard in a while. Dayum. Otherwise, Sean's verses fall short. Good enough though.
MILF (ft. Nicki Minaj & Juicy J): 3.25/5
-Let's just step back for a minute and appreciate the fact that Medium Sean named a song "MILF". What is this? Porn? This is also one of the odder songs I think I've ever heard. Honestly.
Sierra Leone: 4/5
-I like the hook and then his verses are good enough.
It’s Time (ft. Young Jeezy & Payroll): 4/5
-Never heard of this Payroll guy, but he did pretty well. Another song that is pretty good. I approve.
World Ablaze (ft. James Fauntleroy): 4/5
-Classic James Fauntleroy here, the hook is most certainly soulful and elegant (even with Big Sean singing with Fauntleroy).
Ashley (ft. Miguel): 4.5/5
All Figured Out: 4/5

55/70 -> 3.93/5

-Big Sean's improvement from the disappointment that was Finally Famous is certainly noticeable here. There's definitely still some clubish songs here, but a lot less than before. Overall, his bars have improved since 2011 and there is some more substance ("some"). I am surprised to have actually wound up enjoying this album. I'll definitely be bumping some of these tracks for a bit.

If you gave Hall of Fame that high of a rating, then I will listen.

Projection for NWTS Rating is 5/5
