The Kid LAROI - FUCK LOVE 3: OVER YOU ALBUM REVIEW

-
Who puts out a damn-near 30 song album that isn’t for trying to hit that number one spot? Like, seriously.


Ah, yes. The Kid LAROI. He happens to be one of the biggest artists in the world and I haven’t heard a single song from him. Funny enough, he’s a big name and I had no clue. I looked at the landing page for this album, FUCK LOVE 3: OVER YOU, on Apple Music and I saw something genuinely horrifying: This is 29 songs. After listening to it, I learned that this was his other two EPs combined with a brand new album. So, I might as well try to review all three of the FUCK LOVE entries while I’m at it. So, how does FUCK LOVE 3 stand? Let’s find out.

Let me just say right off the bat that this is an awful way to release an album. I’ve done my research on this. Some outlets are calling this a deluxe with 15 whole new songs. Some are calling this a new album with his other EPs tacked onto it. Some are just even calling it a new ‘project.’ Whatever this is, it’s a horrible attempt to capitalize on emo rap, especially the late Juice WRLD. It hurts to find out that Juice WRLD actually mentored this kid, and it’s really sad to see the sound watered down so much. It’s like this kid read Juice WRLD’s notes and tried to copy an assignment but did it poorly. I could pull out some good songs from here, though, but outside of that, this thing is a wasteland.

Look, this may just be me, but as long as The Kid LAROI is out here ripping off Juice WRLD poorly, his career isn’t gonna go anywhere. FUCK LOVE 3: OVER YOU is abysmal. I cannot believe that this is one of the most popular artists in the world right now. I guess I’d feel a little more positive about it if this release strategy wasn’t in play, but the marketing for this really did it in. The music doesn’t help its case either.

Lil Yachty - Let’s Start Here. ALBUM REVIEW

I gotta keep holding to my promises about reviewing. I always love it when an artist takes a risk with their material. Whether or not it works out, I usually admire the risk and appreciate the fact that any artist can do something out of their comfort zone. Either way, the artist in question today is Lil Yachty, a rapper that has basically become a joke the longer his career’s gone on. However, going into a new genre out of left field isn’t totally new to rap. Childish Gambino jumping into the world of neo-soul with Awaken, My Love! , along with later projects from Mac Miller and Tyler, the Creator having more jazz influences, have proven that turning to a new genre for new ideas has worked out pretty well. Yachty, however, has turned to psychedelic rock in the vein of Tame Impala for this new album, Let’s Start Here. to mark the new chapter of his career. Let’s get into it. Having stuck around with Yachty during the rough patches, I can easily say that Let’s Start Here. is his best ...

Kendrick Lamar - GNX ALBUM REVIEW

Woah, a new review? After this long? Yeah, sure. Why not? I got some plans in the works to keep this active in some form, and I’ll show off some more details in the post after this! What timing for an album to end up bringing this little site back, even if it’s just for a little bit of time. The last post on here was last June, and a lot has happened in my life since then, whether it’s in music or my personal life. Arguably, the biggest moment in music of the year was the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which exploded just before this summer with “Like That,” a song off of the first of two Future and Metro Boomin’ albums from this year, WE DON’T TRUST YOU . I don’t need to go into just how massive this beef was (and in still is in some ways), but if you need one major takeaway, I’ll say this: One of the biggest hits of the year, regardless of genre, essentially boiled down to Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile for four-and-a-half minutes. “Not Like Us,” a song where one of the m...

Porter Robinson - Nurture ALBUM REVIEW

I wanna just lay in a field of grass, but I’m allergic to pollen :( I’ve always had a very strange relationship with electronic music. The bad music I’ve heard in the genre has been some of the worst music I’ve ever heard, and the good stuff is some of the greatest music I’ve ever heard. For some context, we have artists like The Chainsmokers on one end, and Daft Punk on the other. There are some subgenres in here too that work. Electropop is one of them, being an obvious fusion of pop and electronic music. In the little community of the AOTY website, the users there have been hyped as hell for this Porter Robinson album, Nurture . It’s apparently his first in seven years, and I’ve only heard one single from it, titled “Musician.” While it wasn’t the best electropop song I’ve heard, it’s certainly an interesting sound that I think can work pretty well. So, with how anticipated it is in the AOTY community, I figured I should take a listen and see what all the fuss is about. Let’s get in...
