Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Shady has done it again! I like this album. Its kind of like Recovery part 2, however there is no….super positive message tho. Eminem is pissed the f*** off at..his fans and mumble rappers. I actually feel he’s justified to be pissed at both. Think about it. He’s the highest sellin rapper of ALL TIME. But his fans claimed Revival, his 2017 outing sucked? Peep my review for Revival.  https://maxreviewsandthoughts.blogspot.com/2017/12/album-review-eminem-revival.html?q=eminem The production was lackluster. That’s all. His lyricism is great here and word play is too. I feel yet again the production is below Em’s standards. I mean this guy once rapped over Dr. Dre beats like The Real Slimshady. I due believe we’ll get another album one day from this top 5 all time MC. Where does Eminem rank all time to me? Hmm. 1)Pac 2)Jay-Z, 3)Biggie 3)Nas 5) Eminem.

This album goes so hard!Jay and B have done it again. But tbh, this album didn’t surprise me. I KNEW it would be good. I don’t really have a lot to say. Beyonce and Rihanna been hanging with Nicki Minaj too much. Both are competent MCs. Jay-Z is great here! I felt the lyricism and production was dope af. If anything the album is short, under 40 minutes. The song Apes**t is my favorite track. The albums seem to be shorter in 2018. Point is, this album is not deserving of any unfair criticism . The album sounds perfectly 2000s and perfectly up to date to me. We are more likely to see Carters 2 than Watch the Throne 2, and that makes me sad.

Okay so as you I am a huge fan of Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. I’m actually glad I waited to make this till now. Because now they really are BEEFING. Beef is actually good for the rap game…however I feel that when it gets physical….its gone too FAR. We lost Biggie and 2pac over beef…both have been gone over 20 years. Cardi B is the new kid on the block so to speak. She is really good rapper, and has exceeded my expectations thus far. Nicki Minaj is the Establishment. She’s the best right now. What other female rappers aspire to be. So this is not about if either skilled or not. It seems that Nicki started the beef. Let’s face it she’s jealous of Cardi. She After all took Lil Kim down from her throne in like 2009-2010. So I can understand that…but the more and more I hear of their subliminal disses to each other on various songs….Like Nicki on Motorsport or Cardi on No Limit. Nicki claims Cardi doesn’t write her own lyrics….I’m like so f***in what. Anyways this story is ongoin

Kanye’s affirmative action plan comes to his own discography….And its good!!! A well rounded album but too short! Only 7 songs but all are good. I don’t really care much for the first one…but things only look up at that point. Kanye seems a little less tame here as well. On Life of Pablo, he seemed like he was trying to combine his current style with College Dropout Kanye sometimes. Here no…this sounds like Yeezus a little bit. The lyrics are on par with that album but that album was slightly better. Overall im pleased with this album but his collaboration with Kid Cudi was better.
