This is a good debut album. Iggy sounds black but this
review isn’t about her, its about the album. Its not that creative, and Iggy
sounds bitter on so many songs. Complaints aside, it works for her. Her lyrics
are sharp, and the album’s beats are nice. Her vocals stand out; I didn’t
really get bored with her bars often. The album is pretty cohesive, but there
are a couple of songs that she could have left off. This is a good start to her
career. Who knows she might even challenge Nicki Minaj next year.
This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
