Watch the Throne Track by Track by review

Watch the Throne



No Church in the Wild- The album starts off with this dark track. The beat is fire, and the Frank Ocean chorus is hot. The song asks human beings to a mob, what’s a mob to a king, whats a king to a god….and what’s a god to a nonbeliever? After the track you hear this interlude beat that’s pretty laid back. 9/10



Lift Off- Lift Off is a good song, but you can’t help but get the feeling it could have been better. The Beyonce hook is good, but Kanye just sings on it, and Jay’s verse doesn’t really say anything. The beat saves this song and keeps it above average. 8/10




N**gas in Paris- A really addictive song. The title is lame but the song is anything but. Jay and Kanye spit fire. The beat has a mysterious glossy sound to it. The chrorus is really hot too. 9.5/10



Otis- One of the best songs on the album. Otis has a fun sample and its well used. 9.5/10



Gotta Have It- A simple song, but really catchy. Jay and Kanye trade versus quickly. The Throne has delivered so far. 8.5/10



New Day- On this song Kanye and Jay rap to their unborn children. Kanye goes first and raps, “I’ll never let him have an ego”. Jay’s verse is also good. The song has a really cool sample. The chorus just seems to flow rather effortlessly. 9/10



That’s My B**ch- A great party song. The chorus is awesome. I feel this song leans more towards Kanye than a married man like Jay-z. 9/10



Welcome to the Jungle- A swizz beats produced song. The chorus is kinda weak, but the strong verses make up for that. The beat is kind of tense as well. I like how you get to hear the interlude beat again. 8.5/10



Who Gon Stop Me- This is the 2nd best if not best song on the album. Kanye is fierce, and Jay-z holds his own as well. Luxury rap at its finest. The beat aint bad either. 9.5/10



Murder to Excellence- This is a great song. It talks about Black on Black crime. The chorus is hot, and the beat is nice. The song’s beat changes up near the end. 10/10



Made in America- The album’s weakest track isn’t that bad. The chorus is kinda wack, but the beat is cool. This song really grew on me. 7.5/10



Why I Love You- The Finale is dope. Mr. Hudson stops by for the chorus. The song talks about the fall of The Throne….The beat isn’t all that but the lyrics make up for that. 9/10

I give this album 9.25/10

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

1.       Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2.       All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3.       Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4.       Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5.       Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...
