This is an album, that is just plain inferior to
rival album Graduation. However it’s a good album, but a difficult review. I’ll start with the production, which isn’t
bad, but not as good as 50 is used to. There are some gems though, the best
beat easily going to AT, with JT and Timbo. The song is really hot, but 50 is
rapping like Chamillionaire on it... Some of the guest features aren’t that
good, Eminem does a C job, Young Buck is only on a chorus, Mary J feels forced
to sing, And Tony Yayo, is well Tony Yayo!. Overall its 50’s worst album out of
4. Its constructed well, but it just feels forced and he doesn’t sound as
hungry or as creative as on GroDT or the Massacre. Follow My lead With Robin
Thicke is a nice song, and a welcome surprise.
Overall i give this a 7.5/10. Its not bad by any means, but its his worst album so far....or is Before I Self Destruct his worst??
Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...
