Chance the Rapper- Acid Rap MIXTAPE REVIEW

I decided to review this for a pretty obvious reason: it completely blew up the internet. Every year, there seems to be a random mixtape or two that people really enjoy and it gives the artist a whole lot of unexpected popularity. In 2012 it was Joey Bada$$ with 1999 and the year before it was ASAP Rocky, two artist who I am now huge fans of. Will Acid Rap by Chance the Rapper have the same affect on me as it seemed to have on millions on people online?

The first song is actually called Good Ass Intro. I have to say, that it a pretty accurate title. I loved this song, everything about it. The soulful samples were worked it so well and the beat was just catchy and fun. When Chance started rapping, I was taken by surprise by this guy's voice. It is extremely unique and at first came off annoying, but now I find myself loving it. His flow was pretty on point in this song and he was throwing out a lot of memorable lines. This song was spectacular. The next song, Pusha Man was a lot more laid-back, but just as catchy. It had another fun beat and Chance is just enjoyable to listen to when he raps. I also loved the hook. The track then totally breaks into silence, then later a completely different song. This one was very atmospheric and calm. Chance was also a lot less energetic with his rapping. This 2nd part just felt boring overall, though. Cocoa Butter Kisses was the third song, and I loved this one as well. The hook was insanely catchy and got stuck in my head easily. I enjoyed Chance's verse, as he continued is unique, oddball flow he has been using. I also loved Twista's verse on this track. This song was great. Juice was another fun song, but for whatever reason I wasn't enjoying it as much. I did really like the hook, though. It was just goofy and enjoyable.

Things got a lot calmer with the next few songs on Acid Rap. Lost was more of a love song, which actually didn't go over too bad. I really loved the beat, as it perfectly matched the vibe of the verses.
Everybody's Something had a pretty strong instrumental with some nice drums, but the overall feeling was still relaxed. I liked Chance's first verse on this song a lot. The hook on this one was also super catchy and fun. This was a really good track that i ended up really liking. The interlude of the album was another slow jam, which I did like until Chance started singing, which just sounded forced and awkward. Skipping around a little, Acid Rain was really laid-back, but ended up just being boring to me.  Chain Smoker was a lot better, with a solid hook and a pretty good beat. I still can't totally get behind this guy as a rapper, though. His voice and delivery is just so out there and weird, which is sometimes good and sometimes bad. The closer to this album was also disapointing, as it was too long and didn't really go anywhere.

Near the middle of the album was a pretty random trio of songs with some pretty popular underground rappers. Favorite Song with Childish Gambino was really good, as it was super upbeat and catchy with a great hook and good verses by Chance and Gambino. NaNa was also decent, coming with a fun beat which felt relaxed at the same time. The verses and hook just came off too silly, though. I did enjoy Action Bronson's verse a lot, as he probably had the best guest verse on the tape. Smoke Again was pretty mediocre, as it was a surprisingly bad instrumental that I wasn't into at all. Even Ab-Soul wasn't enough to save this song, unfortunately.

ACID RAP WRAP UP
+The whole thing had a very cool vibe
+Some pretty good beats
+Chance has a whole lot of personality on the mic
+Very fun, catchy and gets stuck in my head
-Some experimental parts just don't really work
-Started a lot better than it finished

Best: Good Ass Intro, Cocoa Butter Kisses, Everybody's Something

Worst: Acid Rain

Prodigy- Albert Einstein ALBUM REVIEW

Today, I decided to review another Alchemist project. The underground hip hop producer has done several albums recently with some pretty great artists, resulting in some great collaborations. This time, he's working with hip-hop veteran Prodigy for a full length album titled Albert Einstein. Most known for his work in the 90's with Mobb Deep, he has been pretty quiet recently. Will Prodigy's career be revamped from a project with The Alchemist?

The first song, LMDKV, was pretty dope. The beat featured some high-pitched piano keys and Prodigy sounds really sick, flowing precisely here. I had no complaints with this, it was just dope. The second track, Give Em Hell, was just incredible, and I was really impressed with it. The beat was so dope and smooth as hell, and Prodigy was showing some serious skill on the mic. The hook was also pretty good. Once again, no complaints. The next instrumental on the song Stay Dope, was a lot slower compared to the first two. It came off a little boring at first, but was actually very layered and interesting. I didn't like Prodigy as much on this one, though. At this point in the project, The Alchemist is definitely outshining him. Curb Ya Dog was the next one, and the beat on this track was so detailed. There were so many things going on, but Alchemist put it all together in such a dope way. Prodigy's flow was really nice on this as well.  I enjoyed this song overall.

The first feature track was Death Sentence with Roc Marciano. Another ridiculous beat here, as Alchemist supplied a beat perfect for Prodigy's style. Prodigy sounded great on this, and the hook was really good. Roc Marciano had a really sick verse here, as his lyricism was on point and he rode the beat a little nicer than Prodigy. This song was so sick overall. Skipping around to more feature tracks, Y.N.T. was a pretty good song as well. The beat was so smooth and sounded really polished. Domo Genesis of Odd Future comes in with a nice, introspective verse. His flow was pretty solid as well, as he has gone over Alchemist production many times before. Prodigy had another good verse, but I wasn't feeling his flow as much. This song was good, but it just felt like something was missing, and I have no idea what it is. R.I.P was a collaboration with some classic 90's rappers, Havoc and Raekwon. Alchemist suppiled a golden era beat, but with a modern twist on it. I liked it a lot. Havoc had an okay verse, and I was a little disappointed with him. It was not terrible, though. Raekwon was pretty good here, and I think he had the best verse. The One featuring Action Bronson had another awesome beat, which I think took all the spotlight on the track, as it was one of my favorites on the album. Bronson came in and probably had the best guest verse on the album. He just sounds fantastic over this production.

Getting into more solo tracks, Bear Meat had some very interesting production, and Prodigy's flow was a little better than usual. Also, the hook was an improvement over other hooks on the album I was really feeling the whole vibe of this one, and it was pretty good. Dough Pildin was yet another ridiculous beat, which Prodigy sounded pretty solid on. Not much else to say about this one, though. It was a little boring. Same story with the next one, Confessions. An awesome beat, decent Prodigy verses, but nothing else. I think at this point, Prodigy is starting to sound repetitive to me. Bible Paper was a nice change of pace, with Alchemist spitting his own verse, which actually didn't go over to badly. The beat on this one was also spectacular. Unfortunately, I have not much else to say with the last few tracks, as they all had dope beats, but Prodigy didn't change up much of anything. This album definitely didn't finish strong, in my opinion.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WRAP UP
+Every single beat was fantastic, some of the best production of the year
+Pretty good features
+Prodigy's voice and delivery sounded fine
-Didn't finish well with some boring tracks
-Prodigy didn't really change anything up with his rapping style
-Not the best lyrics

Best: Death Sentence, Give Em Hell, The One

Worst: Breeze

Lil Wayne- Dedication 5 MIXTAPE REVIEW

Yes, I'm reviewing Dedication 5. I'll be honest, I don't even know what to say about Lil Wayne anymore. He has really become a joke in hip-hop with his past few projects, most notably I Am Not a Human Being 2. His past few mixtapes were also pretty bad, as was Tha Carter IV. With that being said, there is pretty much no denying Wayne is one of the most successful and creative rappers ever when you look at the full catalog. The first three installments of Tha Carter series were all great, and so was some of his earlier stuff like 500 Degreez and Tha Block is Hot. When I listen to these projects, it makes be believe Wayne may still have something left in the tank, because even as recently as 2008, Lil Wayne was just so consistently great.

As per usual with the Dedication series, Wayne spits over some of the hottest beats in mainstream hip hop, as you have tracks like UOENO, Bugatti, Levels, Fuckin Problems, and more. Wayne has a history of rapping pretty nicely over these mainstream beats, so I was excited for these tracks. The first song on this mixtape was a very unusual one titled I'm Good, which just ended up being a two minute Weeknd track with no Lil Wayne at all. Wayne finally starts rapping on the third track, which was over the Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe instrumental. I personally think any rapper in the world could go over this beat and I would enjoy the song because of how much I love the beat. Wayne doesn't do it much justice, though. I wasn't really feeling this. I was pretty excited when I saw New Slaves on the tracklist. Wayne's flow was actually pretty good on this song, but his stupid lyrics are still there. I will say this song gets better as it goes on, as Wayne seems to get more focused as the beat progresses. Next, Wayne goes over the beat for Type of Way, a track I have hated for a while now. Wayne at least does better than Rich Homie Quan, but I still wasn't a fan of this song. It was way too long and his lyrics were just awful.

Lil Wayne finally gives me something impressive with his freestyle over the Started From the Bottom. He sounded really good on this one, sort of like a flashback. His flow was on point and his lyrics actually were pretty solid. Wayne sounded really focused on this one and I almost like this one as much as Drake's original. Another one that I thought was decent was Bugatti. Wayne's flow was really good here and the whole song was just catchy and fun. The one track that took me by total surprise was CREAM. Wayne going over such an iconic beat was odd, but he actually performed way above expectations for me. He sounded awesome over this beat and I was actually really feeling this song a lot. Other tracks where I think Lil Wayne had respectable performances in would be UOENO, Still Got That Rock, and Itchin. I didn't really mind Wayne on these songs at all. They were fun to listen to and Wayne really improved his flow.

I do have my complaints with D5, though. There are way too many songs for one thing, as there were many mediocre tracks as well as pointless interludes. Wayne also didn't do much for me lyrically, which was expected but I was still disappointed. This was because every few tracks, he would give some nice lyrics and make me think he was turning around, then just throw another stupid punchline at me. As far as features go, It was pretty much a mixed bag. T.I. was very solid on his two appearances, and I totally didn't mind Chance the Rapper on You Song. That is pretty much it for good features, though. Rappers like Vado, Euro, Kidd Kidd, and Gudda Gudda pretty much didn't have to be there.

DEDICATION 5 WRAP UP
+Wayne really gave me some vintage spitting on a couple tracks
+He still showed that he can really go over a wide variety of beats
+A definite improvement over I am Not a Human Being 2
-far too long
-Wayne was still pretty poor lyrically

Best: Started, CREAM, Bugatti

Worst: Live Life

Mac Miller- Watching Movies With the Sound Off ALBUM REVIEW

Mac Miller is an artist who I have always liked, but never really loved. I seem to always enjoy his beats and rapping ability, but something about his solo work hasn't connected with me. For the past few years, Mac's music has gone under a pretty drastic change. He went from party, college, poppy, fun music on Blue Slide Park to more calm, hazy, introspective rap on his last mixtape, Macadelic. He has also started collaborating with more underground artists, such as Joey Bada$$ and Kendrick Lamar. After seeing the tracklist for this new album, I was immediately excited. Many of the features are underground MC's whom I have been huge fans of. Will Mac Miller finally put together a great solo project here? Let's get into it.

The first song, The Star Room, was pretty experimental in terms of production. Mac pitch shifted his voice up a little for his first few bars, which I didn't really like. The track did start sounding really good once Mac started rapping normally. His flow was on point and the beat was very impressive. Surprisingly, this track was produced by Odd Future rapper Earl Sweatshirt. The next song, Avian, was honestly boring with Mac just rapping with no energy over a generic piano beat. Possibly the best solo track on this whole album was S.D.S. which was produced by Flying Lotus. This beat was unique and sounded really sick. Mac was flowing really nicely on this as well with some funny lyrics also. This song was just very smooth and I enjoyed it. The next song, Bird Call, featured a dope beat from Clams Casino, and Mac Miller continued to impress me with his rapping.

Surprisingly, I just kept enjoying Mac Miller's solo tracks on this album. I Am Who I Am featured amazing production from Pharrell and Mac's flow was nothing new, but still very solid. Watching Movies was yet another solid track with yet another sick beat. Mac sounded a little more energized here as well, and I am still entertained with a lot of his lyrics. Unfortunately, this album started to go way downhill near the end, starting with the track Remember. This song was just so boring. Even though the lyrics were emotional and the beat was decent, the song never really went anywhere and I do not like Mac's singing voice at all. I could just copy and paste what I just wrote for my feelings on the songs Someone Like You and Aquarium. These were just too slow and got so boring. Mac Miller's lyrics also felt a lot lamer and cornier on these tracks. In my opinion, this album finished off terribly.

Now, it's time to get into my favorite part: the feature tracks. While I was very dissapointed that Earl didn't have a verse on I'm Not Real, he still sounded fantastic on the hook, which I loved. This song felt super chill and hazy all the way through, and Earl comes through making another awesome beat. Matches with Ab-Soul featured some happy production, and the beat was pretty good. Soul had a good verse and Mac flowed pretty nicely here, but there was nothing amazing about this song. My favorite song on the whole album might be Red Dot Music. This track was awesome from a production standpoint with a dope beat by The Alchemist. Mac raps pretty well here and Action Bronson had an entertaining verse. My favorite things about this track were the catchy ass hook and Loaded Lux's absolutely awesome a cappella verse at the end. He had some seriously hilarious punchlines there. Gees was another good one with some a funky beat from Chuck Inglish and a sick Schoolboy Q verse. My main problem with this track was Mac Miller, who just had a lot of stupid, trashy lines. Another undeniably dope song was Suplexes Inside of Complexes and Duplexes. Mac starts it off with a Slim Shady-type flow, but it sounded great. Jay Electronica had a terrific verse, showing some great lyricism and flowing with ease.

WATCHING MOVIES WITH THE SOUND OFF WRAP UP
+Fantastic production nearly the whole way through
+Awesome features
+Mac Miller was consistently solid rapping
+Had a cool overall vibe to it
-Pretty bad last three songs
-Mac Miller should stop singing
-He sounds pretty monotonous throughout

Best: Red Dot Music, Suplexes Inside of Complexes and Duplexes, The Star Room

Worst: Aquarium

A$AP Rocky- LongLiveA$AP ALBUM REVIEW

Yes, I know this album came out quite a while ago, but I aim to review all the big releases from 2013 and this qualifies as one of them. ASAP Rocky is a New York rapper that I have been a huge fan of for a pretty long time now. His 2011 mixtape, LiveLoveA$AP, was one of my favorite projects of that year, and for good reason. The mixtape brought an infectious signature sound that I really enjoyed. It was a cloudy, slow, hazy version of hip hop that was just dope to me. Asap has gotten a lot more popular since then. Did he allow the ego and fame to get to him on his debut studio album? Let's get into it.


LONGLIVEA$AP- The title track was a perfect opener for this album. The vibe of the track was pretty weird. It was pretty grimy and aggressive during the verses, but shifted to a more artsy, refined vibe during the hook, something I really enjoyed. Asap sounded terrific rapping here, dropping some memorable lines and constantly switching up his flow. The beat was so unique here, with cool sound effects all over the place. This track was just epic. 9.5/10

GOLDIE- Wow. This beat is just a banger in every sense of the word. My head instantly started bopping when I heard this. The track only got better once Asap started rapping in a pitch shifted lower voice. I loved how he kept alternating between the deep voice and his regular voice on this song. The lyrics on this song were more of the same, but I don't mind because Asap's personality is just so likable. 9.5/10

PMW (FEAT. SCHOOLBOY Q)- I got pretty excited once I saw this title, as Asap and Schoolboy Q have a history of some pretty dope collaborations. This one didn't dissapoint. Asap's flow was as on point as ever, the hook was pretty entertaining and had a cool vibe to it, ad Q delivered an awesome verse, as usual. The trippy beat only added to the overall aesthetic of this song. 9/10

LVL- this instrumental was pretty slow and atmospheric, which is expected as Clams Casino produced this. This track was not nearly as dynamic as three before it. Asap didn't impress me as much with a pretty generic flow and delivery here. The only awesome part was around the halfway point when Asap went into a very fast rapping style. Other than that, a pretty boring song. 7.5/10

HELL (FEAT SANTIGOLD)- more Clams Casino production here, and this beat didn't really do much for me. Asap's rapping was once again pretty average on this song. The worst part of this song had to be Santigold's hook, which didn't flow well and she wasn't singing with any passion or energy. I wasn't really feeling this track at all. 6/10

PAIN (FEAT. OVERDOZ)- another hazy instrumental sets this one off, and the hook came off pretty catchy and cool. Asap rides the beat pretty well here and flowed nicely. I was not feeling Overdoz too much here, though as they just seemed like generic rappers here. 8/10

FUCKIN PROBLEMS- I literally have no bad things to say about this track. It is just absolute banger and I am not surprised at all this is the one that put ASAP Rocky on the map. The hook, as ignorant as it is, is undeniably catchy as hell. ASAP is his usual cocky, likable self on this song, as Drake and Kendrick Lamar turn in some pretty solid verses with plenty of popular quotables. 9/10

WILD FOR THE NIGHT- This is definitely an unusual collaboration, but this actually turns out incredibly dope. The deep voice starts it off calmly before erupting into an awesome, high energy party track. Asap sounds very comfortable over Skrillex production and the hook is awesome and gets stuck in your head. This was definitely a standout as it blended so many different sounds together. 9.5/10

1TRAIN- This insane posse cut did not disappoint one bit. Hit-Boy's beat was cinematic, epic, and perfect for the vibe of the track. This was not one of Asap's best verses, but he quickly becomes an afterthought when the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, and Yelawolf spit some really impressive verses. Danny Brown then delivers my favorite verse of the song, complete with some hilarious lines. Action Bronson and Big K.R.I.T. also have some sick verses. This song was amazing and I have absolutely nothing to complain about. One of the best songs I have heard this year. 10/10

FASHION KILLA- This was a very calm, laid back instrumental which I really enjoyed. While Asap's lyrics are pretty lame and corny here, the hook makes up for it by being very catchy. Asap's flow was also pretty on point once again here. 7.5/10

PHOENIX-  Asap gets a little lyrical here for the first time on the album, spitting some introspective verses over this minimalistic production. The piano does sound very smooth once it enters the beat. I really loved Asap's rapping here, as his flow was great on the track. Also, the beat drop is just so sleek and had my head bopping. The only rough part of the song had to be Asap's singing in the end, which I wasn't feeling at all. 8/10

SUDDENLY- some more minimalistic production starts this one off as Asap continues his impressive rhyming skills. He raps about growing up and getting into the rap scene here. Just as the track was getting boring, the title starts to make sense as the beat SUDDENLY changes into a more layered one and Asap starts going off. He raps fast, rhyming with a whole lot of skill and flowing effortlessly. 9/10

LONGLIVEA$AP WRAP UP
+Asap has a whole lot of charisma and personality as an MC
+His flow is amazing, it seems like he can go over any type of beat
+An awesome amount of variety on this album, with all different types of track
+Some incredible instrumentals
+Nearly all features were great
-A couple tracks I didn't care for at all

Best: Goldie, 1Train, Wild for the Night

Worst: Hell

Dizzy Wright- The Golden Age MIXTAPE REVIEW

Dizzy Wright is a Las Vegas rapper who is currently a part of the independent label Funk Volume. This label also includes artists such as Hopsin, Jarren Benton, and Swizzz. I have been a fan of this guy just for hearing him on features. As far as a technical MC, Dizzy has everything I look for, just judging from his verses on features. I thought it was just about the right time to finally give a full length project by this guy a listen. Did I enjoy Dizzy for this many tracks?

This first track, 2 Wings and a Crown, was definitely pretty solid. Dizzy Wright and Irv da Phenom, a guest on the track, spit some nice, high energy verses over a really nice, smooth beat. The hook on this one was very catchy as well. Dizzy decides to have another feature on track two, titled The Flavor. I wasn't feeling this track as much as the first one. Dizzy spits just as nicely and Swizzz has a pretty good verse here, but this hook just wasn't connecting with me. I also wasn't into this beat, as it just felt generic. Another feature hops on the next track, Maintain, with it being underground superstar, Joey Bada$$. Right away, I was drawn into this beat. It felt so laid back and relaxed that it was just sounded silky. Dizzy doesn't spit with too much energy here, but I was definitely feeling his lyrics. Oddly enough, I wasn't totally feeling Joey's verse, and I don't really know why. Overall, this track felt a little too long. Fantastic beat, though.

Finally, Dizzy delivers a solo track with Progression. I was pretty underwhelmed with this. It was just a very run-of-the-mill, generic song. Dizzy does have some interesting lyrics, though. This was the common theme with the next few tracks on this mixtape, The Perspective, Kill Em with Kindness, and Welcome Home. I was feeling the instrumental on Kill Em with Kindness, though. All these tracks featured similar lyrics and structure, leading to some boredom with this mixtape. A much-needed change comes through next, though, with the song Bout That Life. This track was dark, grimy, and hard-hitting. Hopsin also kills it on his verse. He sounds mean and is rapping with an awesome, rapid fire flow.

The next handful of tracks on The Golden Age were a mixed bag for me. I really enjoyed tracks with rapping features, like Untouchable and Step Yo Game Up. Logic and Jarren Benton definitely stood out on the tracks they were on. My only real problem on these songs was Dizzy himself. He really does sound the same on every song. All the other songs were either forgettable or decent. B.T.T was a pretty good track and had a cool, funky beat. Still Movin was also a nice song that had a cool vibe to it. The closer, New History, also felt like an appropriate final track and a good one lyrically.This mixtape suffers from one major problem: there are far too many songs. You can't make a 22-track project and not have piles of filler. Fashion, Can't Stop Won't Stop, Tell Em My Name, World Peace, and a few more could've been left out.

THE GOLDEN AGE WRAP UP
+a good handful of songs I enjoyed
+Dizzy is a pretty good lyricist
+Some very good feature verses
-WAY too many songs
-a lot of boring instrumental
-Dizzy sounds the same on a lot of tracks

Best: 2 Wings and a Crown, Bout That Life, Untouchable

Worst: Your Type

Vince Staples- Stolen Youth MIXTAPE REVIEW

Vince Staples. I have been a fan of this guy for a pretty long time now. Honestly, this is because of his heavy affiliation with Odd Future. I first heard him on Earl Sweatshirt's first mixtape and he had a very nice verse there. He continued with great contributions to projects by Domo Genesis and Mike G. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed when I finally gave a listen to one of Vince's solo projects, Winter In Prague. This mixtape was honestly very boring, even with nice production from Michael Uzowuru. Now, Vince is following that up with a surprising collaboration: this mixtape is entirely produced my Larry Fisherman, AKA Mac Miller. Will this elevate Vince to become one of my favorite underground artists and not just an O.F. collarborator?  Let's see.

Honestly, the first few songs on this mixtape were really underwhelming. On the Intro, Vince just spits some nice bars, but without any passion, leading to a pretty boring listen. The beat wasn't really anything special, with a generic opera vocal covering the track. Fantoms was not that great either, but at least had a much more interesting beat. I think if Joey Fatts had a verse, this song would be a lot better. The next track, Heaven, was a nice change of pace with Mac Miller spitting a pretty solid verse, and the song also had a better hook. I still wasn't really loving the mixtape that much at this point, though. The next song, Guns and Roses, did nothing to change this, as it was just another track. Vince got a little more lyrical here, but for whatever reason, I wasn't enjoying it that much. Guns and Roses also featured a pretty lame and generic beat.

Everything changed for me once it hit the fifth song, Back Selling Crack. This song was outstanding. Vince rode the beat perfectly and sounded a lot more energized here. This hook was awesome as well, being very catchy and flowing nicely. The track becomes even more great once Schoolboy Q comes in. Q absolutely murders it here, firing on all cylinders and sounding insane. His verse was easily a highlight on the album. The other Black Hippy featured track, Killin Y'all with Ab-Soul, was another standout. Soul's verse was full of quotables and he sounded really good. Vince keeps up with a pretty solid verse. The beat was also super dark and hard hitting here. My favorite track on this mixtape would have to be Sleep. Even though Dash starts it off with a lackluster verse, Ab-Soul more than makes up for it with another great verse. Mac Miller also kills it here, with a lot of good wordplay and some funny lines. His flow was also great over his own beat. Vince has the final verse and wraps it up beautifully with an aggressive verse. All this is complimented with a grimy beat that all the rappers ride over nicely.

A few tracks on Stolen Youth did disappoint me, though. As I said, the first four songs were just okay, as was the song Thought About You. It had a slow, low-energy instrumental that Vince goes over pretty lazily. The only other tracks were ones I thought were pretty good, but nothing fantastic. Stuck In My Ways featured a sick, head-bopping beat and Vince rapped very fast and with a whole lot of aggressiveness on the Outro.

STOLEN YOUTH WRAP UP
+Vince is a very good lyricist
+His voice is nice and distinctive, and he can be aggressive at times
+A few grimy, hard-hitting beats
+Some really nice underground features, most notably TDE
-A lot of boring instrumentals from Mac Miller
-Vince doesn't spit to his full potential

Best: Back Selling Crack, Killin Y'all, Sleep

Worst: Intro
