Newcomer YG drops a decent debut album. The album is
constructed well and has a good amount of guest spots. Theres nothing
groundbreaking here, but the songs are well executed.I liked about every song..
Guests include School Boy Q, Jay Rock,Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Jeezy.
The My N**ga song is hot, and thereās even a remix to it. YG is a decent
rapper, and I look forward to his next project
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
