Kendrick Lamar - GNX ALBUM REVIEW

Image
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...

Post Malone - Twelve Carat Toothache ALBUM REVIEW

Image
Every musician’s gotta have that butterfly on the cover moment, yeah? It’s no mistake that Post Malone’s one of the more recognizable voices in mainstream music right now. If I’m being honest, he’s been on a pretty decent streak recently. His last two albums, beerbongs & bentleys and Hollywood’s Bleeding , are some of the best pop-rap albums of the 2010s and most of his hits have aged pretty well over the past couple of years. Even if it’s been oddly silent on the marketing front, we now have his new album Twelve Carat Toothache , a first-world problem if I’ve ever heard one. Because of his track record, I’m actually pretty excited about this, so let’s just get into it. Let me just get the cat out of the bag: This is pretty easily Posty’s worst project, in my opinion. A lot of the songs in here just felt very uninspired and borderline lazy in some cases. However, I won’t say that Posty doesn’t have the range to pull off the pop and rap songs on here because he’s done it in the pas...

Tommy Genesis - goldilocks x ALBUM REVIEW

Image
If everything was right in the world, she would be a lot more popular. As much as I’ve listened to her music, I don’t really know a bunch about Tommy Genesis. The first time I heard of her is her self-titled debut album from 2018, but when she really got big was when she had a prominent feature on JPEGMAFIA’s song, “Rough 7.” This happens to be my favorite song from both artists, so I was trying to stay aware of whenever Genesis was gonna drop next. Now, we have that drop, titled goldilocks x . I intentionally avoided listening to the singles because I was just excited to listen to the whole thing. So, let’s not waste any more time and get into goldilocks x . Now, if I had to describe this album in a word, it’d be sex-positive. Does that even count as one word? I’m gonna make it one word for the sake of reviewing. This thing is raunchy as fuck, and it revels in that. I’d say that this is the album’s defining characteristic. Outside of that, Tommy’s pretty laid back on her delivery for ...
