- The new Yelawolf album is a weird one. It’s like Yelawolf
just wanted to make any kind of album…so the result is what sounds like a
Country rap album, not a rap album with a country feel like Radioactive. He
sings, and he sings a lot. Some of it is good however, but its his rapping and
delivery which saves the album. Another issue with this album is the lack of
guest spots. Eminem shows up for a great track, Best Friend. But that’s really
it. This is not a bad album, but it wasn’t what I was expecting. At least Yela
isn’t afraid to change things up.
I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
