Album Review: Blackshady's Age of Black

Hey wassup, it's time for another album review. This time however, the album is mine. Originally supposed to be a video album for YouTube(yes I did make some of these tracks). I never finished it but If I had well....let's see....pay attention cause I will likely choose to do my reviews more in depth like this in the future for your favorite artists...

Blackshady is a ** year old rapper hailing from Virginia, and this is his first solo work. Age of Black is a mixtape style album where he takes beats from already established rap songs and goes in on them. The first track is called (The Wait Is) Over where Blackshady spits on Drake's Over beat.
He spits,

One thing bout Rap when I hear I feel no pain
Like Im straight up insane
Like these gurls wanna give me brain
They say they love me,
I kno betta than that its just game
They wanna fuck me,
And I’m ready for dat
I aint gotta wife and it’s a shame

After that the album pays ode to Jay-z's Take Over song.....Things get interesting.

I told u I come to take the game
Im not Akon but I got the fame
Ya gurl gimme the brain
I thought she was ya dame
I rap all sillieeeee
Like lil wayne on a millie
U an me beeefin really is silly
Im a rapper u just play wit ya willie

The song is as cruel as it is funny.....then theres' Troublesome 2006 an ode to Pac, but this song is very very dark and personal. I can't post the lyrics, you'll just have to hear it for yourself. Somethin about conspiracies, lying women, and biblical prophecies all in one song.

There were other songs here, but most, eh most seemed like filler. There's love tracks, beef tracks, and a track dedicated to how expensive apple stuff is to buy. Then there's Big Cuzn, where Black raps over Kanye's Big Brother. It's the album's last song, and arguably the best.


We used to hang out at as kids
And be at each other’s cribs
He watched BET, with me
I was like who’s Jay-z
He let me bump Missy
The memory stays wit me
We not so close but then
I still wanna be like my Big Cuzin
Aint seen em in like 7 years
Almost brings me to tears

Well the album was good. The delivery of the rapper could improve. He has a hard time staying on the stellar beats. However this is a good album/mixtape...whatever.
The verdict: 8.0/10 suck it

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 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

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on  Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
