- 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.
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
