Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Paul Wall’s debut is really good. Lyrically he’s sharp. The beats are decent. I liked most of the songs toward the first half. The 2 nd half wasn’t that bad but there was a noticeable drop off. “Girl” is a good love song in that 2 nd half. “I’m a Playa” is fire and it features Three 6 Mafia. Mike Jones returns the favor by being featured on “They Don’t Know”. Trey Songz shows up on the anthemic “Ridin Dirty”. I really like “State to State” which features Freeway. My favorite song is “Internet Goin Nutz” where Paul gets his mack on. This is an album that maybe a lot of people missed but its really solid! Lyrics 23 Beats 20 Depth 22 Tilt 20 Verdict 85

Logic is a really interesting rapper. The dope lyricist with the razor sharp flow has a very creative debut.   Logic reminds me of Kendrick mixed with Drake. He has a nice smooth delivery. The album is filled with bangers, with the first song being the worst. The album features nice production from No ID. There’s even a woman doing some narration on some tracks. Its just an incredible mainstream debut. I think Logic is the next great rapper. There’s nothing that feels forced or really out of wack here. My favorite songs are Under Pressure, Soul Food, Never Enough, and Gang related. Final Score: 8.75/10 2nd Opinon: 9.5/10 (old System)
