SMAP- 01/13/18 3:15:45 PM #131: | Im probably gonna be destroyed for this because Im not a huge hip hop fan, but here goes nothing: Makeveli_lives posted... All Eyez On Me - 2pac 5/10 The first disc is 2Pac at his most interesting by far. This is the first and only time hes captivated me much as a rapper, and the lyrics are great as always. I dig the obvious highlights here, but I think it gets a little tired by the end. The second disc is really forgettable in my opinion, these all kinda follow the same formula after a while. The beats are kinda whatever too. Havent listened, I dont like the songs Ive heard of Nas outside of a few features Havent listened Havent listened, same thing I said about Nas applies here 4/10 I get this is a game changer, but I still dont really care for it. The high pitched soul samples are interesting at first but get really annoying after a while, theyre very overused here. I actually like some of Kanyes rapping here, hes a little more restrained than on his later releases and it works, I think its the highlight of the album. But as a whole I dont really find the songs themselves very interesting and its just very ineffective for me overall. Havent listened 7/10 The highlights here are some of the best songs the genre has to offer. Fuck Wit Dre, Let Me Ride, Stranded On Death Row, and of course Nuthin But a G Thang are all stone cold classics in my opinion. The G-Funk production works wonders here, its simultaneously both chill and aggressive and compliments the fun gangsta lyrics. So when this album works, its a borderline masterpiece. But the more thoughtful stuff here like Lil Ghetto Boy just kinda falls flat, and the skits are really annoying. 6/10 Similar to what I said about Biggie earlier in this thread, but Snoop is one of my favorite MCs, even though I dont usually care for his songs himself as much. Hes got this silky smooth, borderline careless sound to him, its so casual and effortless sounding. I could listen to him rap the dictionary. Otherwise I could basically say the same things I said about The Chronic here, except there arent quite as many highlights. --- http://imgur.com/a/RJN1f my favorite albums ... Copied to Clipboard! |
