BEAT REVACTIONS (Hip-Hop Album Beats, Reviews+Reactions)

Twunywun twunyewun..

Pleasantly surprised: 21 Savage's "American Dream" was a solid body of work from a production perspective. The Metro-assisted stuff real shined and kind of shifted my opinion on his not exactly being a producer, but really only a beatmaker. I explain why in the full ep. "Insano" is next!

Btw, there should be a whole Hit Boy X The Game album, but alas, Big Hit has been released, and he wants a project from his son. Dude sounds a lot like Nipsey. He's a decent rapper. The beats are solid 'Hit.'

Had to take down the FATD review due to copyright infringement: catch me if you can. It's back in 'warped' form. I mean, it's f#$king Aubrey. PART DUEX.

Happy 2024! We know this album; we know these beats; but not entirely until hearing it compiled as such by ALC himself. It's here, it's nostalgic, rugged, hip-hop at its finest - via Griselda X AlanTheChemist circa 2010's.

This sucked. I'll be expecting some 'actual' production from Wun Two on future collabs. Mailed in the WAV files and called it.

I did not know about this man, Bas. Now, I do, and his production is stellar.

The man's "spiritual sequel to XXX" is borderline incoherent lyrically and musically. However, there is some sick production worth reviewing on this that pokes some bright lights through a dark and disorganized attempt at catching us up on D.B.'s latest struggles.

This album was terrible--ALL 22 songs. Ugh.

The best from Griselda's production and lyrical mastery.
