#rap review

[camilishpilish]

howdy, i saw your reblog asking for rap suggestions

you should totally listen to “to pimp a butterfly” it’s probably the single greatest album of the 2010s and it has some of the strongest themes and symbolism that i’ve ever seen in an album. it is just absolutely gorgeous and it’s worth listening to in its entirety and paying attention to everything. it also has like an incredibly shocking and beautiful ending for the album.

if you want a single song you should listen to “all outta ale” by MF DOOM. he has one of the most unique sounds of any rapper and the most complex lyrics.

also tyler the creator. he is cool and very popular. although he also makes more poppy sounding songs. actually he had like a big change in his sound.

also if you don’t want to listen to a whole kendrick lamar album i really enjoy Wesley’s Theory, Alright, King Kunta, i, and Backseat Freestyle (which is from a different album good kid m.A.A.d city)

Hi!! Thank you so much for the suggestions! I did listen to the whole album (took me three days to do so apparently añslkdfj) and my favorites out of it where Alright, i, and mortal man. I think it might be cause those are the ones with the most consistent rhythms- it might me the autism, but the more flowy, jazzy vibe of the other songs didnt scratch my brain as much. I definitely feel that a lot of the lyrics in Pimp a Butterfly went over my head for lack of personal experience, and maybe a little english being my second language and me mostly dealing in tumblr slang. But those last few songs were incredibly artistically profound, I loved it when he just started breaking into a conversation with the audience and then with someone else. I can also definitely see what you meant with unique sound for MF DOOM. There was an almost bouncy instrument (?) in the back of the track that i very much enjoyed. I do think those lyrics also went over me. Im not that great at poetry interpretation, im more a fun wordplay person.

And I've heard Tyler the creator before, apparently! Entirely through tiktok, but still. I think him being more Pop puts him closer to what i usually listen to (im a big melodies person, I really like singing along to songs and i *cannot rap* for the life of me jsjs) and is definitely very pleasant sounding, but i didnt find myself gravitating towards it particularly much. All in all, nothing scratched my brain in the specific way that gets it put on my playlists, but I'm very glad to have listened to all this! It was very interesting to delve out of my comfort zone a little

IDK: F65 album review

This was a big step up from the last project, and I am so pleased. 

Last year, rapper IDK dropped a short album called Simple, and that's exactly what it was. With eight tracks and rounding out to eighteen minutes in length, it made for a quick listen. I feel he didn't make the most of his short time on Simple. Alternating between singing and rapping, he faired better with the former. His bars lacked impact, but his flow was decent. Overall, Simple was an okay project, but nothing to praise. 

His latest album, F65, is a step up from last year. Nowhere near perfect and still flawed in some areas, but I enjoy this much more than Simple. 

F65 is packed with more songs, more features, and more commanding instrumentals. With twenty-two tracks running out at fifty-two minutes, Simple felt like an appetizer as IDK serves F65 as a main course. For Simple's mediocrity, I appreciated its brevity. F65 was a luscious listen but does not need to be fifty-two minutes long. 

The biggest issue stems from pacing, as the album is too long and the tracks are too short. 

Songs like Pit Stop and Salty feel like they're just getting started as IDK raps braggadocious and gets into a groove. But before it feels like he can shift into second gear, the song suddenly ends. There would be more to savor if he could at least fit in one more verse sometimes. Consequently, he has one song, Superwoman, that takes up seven minutes. Broken into parts, the song peaks in beauty with the first part as IDK and features Musiq Soulchild wax poetic with their vocals. If anything, he should've taken the extra five minutes and distributed them amongst the other songs on the album. 

Among the other features, it's hit or miss. Fat Trel works well in unison with IDK on Thug Tear. NLE Choppa was doing a fine job on Salty but could've used more time. Jucee Froot and Saucy Santana are among the best as they flex and boast sexually on Pinot Noir. And as a Benny The Butcher fan, I absolutely could've used more Benny on Up The Score. That was nowhere near enough. 

In the end, IDK delivered his fourth studio album. I'm hoping for his next project, he can assemble more talents for the features and find a decent middle ground for the pacing. Interludes and skits plague the project and could be cut for time. The jazz-infused production helped carry a really good album along with serviceable bars. If his next project is similar to this in sound and content with around twelve tracks and thirty minutes in time, then he will have something truly great on his hands. 3.5/5

I made this remix as soon as I got access to the voice recording files for that episode and then proceeded to play it for any crew I came across. Reception was mostly positive, however our supervising producer heard the first few bars and turned to walk away.

top five moments from this little drama track in my very unbiased like so objective it’s crazy y’all opinion lol

1️⃣ sasara elected to sign himself and samatoki up to perform another comedy skit together bc he’s stupid ig lmao. samatoki punches him for it tho lmao

2️⃣ all the leaders got to eat at that diner by invite basically. it’s american so the portions are HUGE and the exact conversation about this point was brought like this lol

ichiro: i’ve never seen a burger this size before!!!!! i think it’s the same size as your head kuukou

kuukou: *holds up the burger to his face* ain’t it??

ichiro: *laughs like it’s the funniest thing he’s ever seen* it’s massive bro

3️⃣ there’s a 30cm burger and the leaders decide to have an eating contest to see who can eat it fastest, and sasara gets out of it by being the commentator lmao. kuukou the foodie has quite a bit of praise for the flavour accents in burger as he’s chowing down, ramuda can barely hold the burger up lmao, and ichiro started egging samatoki on where it’s revealed that the both of them have special eating techniques. they shouted them out in sentai style complete with superhero sound effects LOL

4️⃣ jakurai, however, reveals the ultimate technique of squishing the 30cm burger down into one ☝️ cm and eats it in four bites. HES THE WINNER LMAO (and ichiro slams his fist down lamenting his defeat LOL)

5️⃣ the track ends with the leaders cleaning up the restaurant bc they ate so much food, the restaurant workers wouldn’t be able to clean up in time for their grand opening the next day lmao. kuukou and sasara were bums and weren’t helping (kuukou: they say you have to work to earn your keep, but i’ve already eaten 😈) but eventually they get chided into helping lmao. kuukou rushed forward to complete his chore with gusto but he bumps into sasara and kuukou yells at him for getting in his way lmao and sasara yells back that he’s an idiot as samatoki tells them they’re being annoying fcks and ichiro tells kuukou that was dangerous and all six of them made for an interesting group according to ramuda 🤗🤗🤗

Kneecap (dir. Rich Peppiatt).

[The] controversial West Belfast hip-hop trio, [...] known for rapping republican lyrics in their native Irish language, star in their own titular biographical film about their rise to fame and infamy. Set in 2019, [...] Peppiatt directs the plainly titled Kneecap with an energetic, riotous verve to its provocative, explicitly anti-UK material of rebellion.

He’s doing exactly this, do y’all feel it?

Que reflejan tu mirada La noche, tú y yo

I got this fire burnin' in me from within Concentrated thoughts on who I used to be, I'm sheddin' skin Every day, a new version of me A third of me demented, cemented in pain Juggling opposing kinds of fame I don't know how to make friends, I'm a lonely soul I recollect this isolation, I was four years old Truth be told, I've been battling my soul Tryna navigate the real and fake Cynical about the judgement day I did past life progression last year and it fucked me up Reincarnated on this earth for a hundred plus Body after body, lesson after lesson Let's take it back to Michigan in 1947 My father kicked me out the house 'cause I wouldn't listen to him I didn't care about his influence, only loved what I was doing Gifted as a musician, I played guitar on a grand level The most talented where I'm from, but I had to rebel And so I'm off in the sunset, searchin' for my place in the world With my guitar up on my hip as the story unfurled I found myself with a pocket full of money and a whole lot of respect While the record business loved me, I was head of rhythm and blues The women that fell to they feet, so many to choose But I manipulated power as I lied to the masses Died with my money, gluttony was too attractive, reincarnated

Another life had placed me as a Black woman in the Chitlin' Circuit Seductive vocalist as the promoter hit the curtains My voice was angelic, straight from Heaven, the crowd sobbed A musical genius what the articles emphasized Had everything I wanted but I couldn't escape addiction Heroin needles had me in fetal position, restricted Turned on my family, I went wherever cameras be Cocaine, no private planes for my insanity Self-indulged, discipline never been my sentiments I needed drugs, to me, an 8-ball was like penicillin Fuck love, my happiness was in that brown sugar Sex and melodies gave me hope when nobody's lookin' My first assistant was a small-town scholar Never did a Quaalude 'til I got myself around her My daddy looked the other way, he saw sin in me I died with syringes pinched in me, reincarnated

My present life is Kendrick Lamar A rapper looking at the lyrics to keep you in awe The only factor I respected was raisin' the bar My instincts sent material straight to the charts, huh My father kicked me out the house, I finally forgive him I'm old enough to understand the way I was livin' Ego and pride had me looking at him with resentment I close my eyes, hoping that I don't come off contentious I'm yelling, "Father, did I finally get it right?" Everything I did was selfless I spoke freely when the people needed me, I helped them I didn't gloat, even told 'em, "No, " when the vultures came Took control of my fleshly body when the money changed Son, you do well, but your heart is closed I can tell residue that linger from your past creates itself Father, I'm not perfect, I got urges, but I hold 'em down But your pride has to die Okay, Father, show me how Tell me every deed that you done and what you do it for I kept one hundred institutions paid, okay, tell me more I put one hundred hoods on one stage, okay, tell me more I'm tryna push peace in L.A., but you love war No, I don't, oh, yes, you do Okay, then tell me the truth Every individual is only a version of you How can they forgive when there's no forgiveness in your heart? I could tell you where I'm going I could tell you who you are You fell out of Heaven 'cause you was anxious Didn't like authority, only searched to be heinous Isaiah 14 was the only thing that was prevalent My greatest music director was you It was colors, it was pinks, it was reds, it was blues It was harmony and motion I sent you down to Earth 'cause you was broken Rehabilitation, not psychosis, but now we here now Centuries you manipulated man with music Embodied you as superstars to see how you moving You came a long way from garnishing evilish views And all I ever wanted from you was love and approval I learned a lot, no more putting these people in fear The more that word is diminished, the more it's not real The more light that I can capture, the more I can feel I'm using words for inspiration as an idea So can you promise that you won't take your gifts for granted? I promise that I'll use my gifts to bring understanding For every man, woman, and child, how much can you vow? I vow my life just to live one in harmony now You crushed a lot of people keeping their thoughts in captivity And I'm ashamed that I ever created that enemy Then let's rejoice where we at I rewrote the Devil's story just to take our power back, 'carnated

Top Albums of 2024: #8 - 'Alligator Bites Never Heal' by Doechii

I find a lot of rap quite grim and hard to embrace these days, so the appeal of Doechii’s breakout mixtape for me is in the way it references a lot of retro focused Hip Hop and RnB but in a way that still feels relatively fresh. There are some very familiar sounds on here - the menacing sax on "Boiled Peanuts" has a distinct ring of Cyprus Hill about it - but because it never allows itself to get stuck in one mode, Alligator Bites doesn’t end up coming off like a tired retread. Tho the more explicitly 90s focused hip hop is a key element, the floating, modern underground style beats on tracks like "Boom Bap" recall the likes of Westside Gunn or Mike more than any older artists. There’s also a drift thru various styles of RnB, so the woozy "Hide N Seek" feels like a trippier version of Erykah Badu, while "Slide" has a more explicitly up to date vibe that fits in comfortably on daytime radio. 

Doechii has a masterful range of vocal styles in the Doja Cat mode, able to move easily between hard aggressive rhymes and something more charmingly conversational, as well as having a melodic RnB singing voice that she can twist and bend into all sorts of odd permutations. And while there’s plenty of snappier material (as befits an alligator bite), the LP occasionally moves into more experimental areas too, making for dreamlike zones which feel semi-detached from the harder edged tracks. The hazier focus of songs like "Bloom" and "Fireflies" is not so immediately gratifying but these respites work better with repeated listening, forming islands in the sound that let you drift away a little.

Day to day concerns are central to the lyrics throughout: Alligator Bites is primarily diaristic, a record about the hustle of the modern music industry, trying to become a star without losing yr integrity or even just trying to keep a basic grip, as on the hilarious therapyspeak pastiche "Denial Is a River". An idea that returns several times is the frustration of being unable to feel like yr across everything: this is best heard on "Wait", a mix of gorgeously melancholy RnB and pointed, technical rapping where Doechii seems at once resigned to and exasperated by the stuff she’s being forced to let go of. "Profit" and "Boom Bap" look more closely at her place in the rap world, with the latter especially going off hard at people who try to pigeonhole her. It’s as close to a definitional moment as you could get on Alligator Bites, a record that refuses to stay in one place and where that restless energy constantly channels itself into more than the sum of its parts.

Paul Wall and Termanology: Start Finish Repeat. An Album Review.

The fact that Paul Wall is white is what astounds me the most.

I'm tangentially familiar with Paul Wall through his feature on the classic Kanye West song "Drive Slow." "Drive Slow" is one of the best songs Kanye Dropped on Late Registration, highlighted by laidback jazzy instrumentals, smooth flows from Ye and Wall, and sublime lyricism from both artists.

This entire project harkens to that song with similar chill instrumentals and lyrics.

Teaming up with fellow rapper Termanology, the duo dropped a collaborative album on October 13th, 2023, titled "Start Finish Repeat." They have since dropped a deluxe edition, but I opted for the shorter initial release of the album to see the original vision.

In short, the LP is a vibe. SFP is an enjoyable, enriching experience between two veterans in the hip-hop game trading verses back and forth, along with numerous features packed throughout the project. Accompanying Paul Wall and Termanology are talented and respected artists such as AZ, Solene, CL Smooth, Bun B, Big KRIT, Sheek Louch, and many others. Many of the songs are reminiscent of "Drive Slow," fitting the aesthetic. In my opinion, there wasn't a bad track on the album, though some songs tend to blend with others due to similarity. But, each verse from every artist is crafted carefully, flowing well, and delivered succinctly, which is especially impressive from artists such as Wall and Termanology. My personal favorite tracks would probably include: Palm Trees, Houston BBQ, Got It Made, Smoke Somethin', and Leather Recliner.

If you haven't checked it out, I would recommend a quick listen as soon as possible. There's bound to be a track or two to enjoy if you're looking for something lowkey to enjoy. 3.5/5.

A post shared by Trap Metal Magazine (@trapmetalmagazine)

I had to take a mental health break so i have no posted in a while!!!! But im back! Ready to catch up on work....

1st up I present to you this new EP by @jayfive666 titled Arsenal. This EP is SOLID! What a great way to kick the new wave into gear. This 4 piece weapon of mass destruction is so refreshing. A genuine take what Trap Metal really is. First off the beats on this EP all feature Trap elements PLUS Metal elements. If there is no metal in there, and its just someone screaming over a beat, its not really Trap Metal, but this release by JayFive 6 stands true to the Trap Metal wave. His lyrics are heavy and fast with a very “hood” tone to his lyricisms. Boasting a distinct style of Drill energy complimented by classic trap samples in between. Every sound, loud and up front, scratching every itch I have as a mutli genre listener. All 4 tracks on this EP are solid, none of theme slacking in the slightest. Id be keen to hear a full EP of these sounds specifically. I’d also like to add that every feature on this release matched his energy and nobody fell behind or threw off the flow of the record. I give this EP a perfect 10 out of 10. Watch out, you better have JayFive 6 on your radar. He’s clearly a force to be reckoned with. Arsenal, out now on all platforms! Check it out. Add it to your playlists. Leave him a comment and let him know what you think!

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to highlight some of my favorite moments of the year. My album “Dream Til It’s Over” received a lot of coverage I’m thankful for but this is one of my favorites because it was a review written by Chris Buxton from my home state of NC. A big theme of this album is reflecting on my childhood & Fayetteville played a big part of shaping me as an artist & a person.
