This is the first time you've disgusted me

My ancestors are smiling at me cause I still listen to all their favorite r----- tunes from 1960-1990s

I'm surprised to see that some have put more effort into a Playboi Carti review than any other album we've had over the past year.

Think about your parents and grandparents. And that AC/DC t-shirt you got for christmas. That's how you thank them and their generation, by listening to this r----- music?

Playboi Carti - MUSIC REVIEW

Not sure how long this review will be, I am just typing as I go while I watch this video for class lol

Well well well, Carti finally dropped. 1,540 days between WLR and MUSIC, but was the wait worth it? My answer is...yes! Let's just hope we don't have to wait until June 1st of 2029 for the next album.

Waiting for this album since December of 2023 has been a ride for sure, from singles exclusively on Instagram, to varied features (insane that there is a Camila x Carti track lol), and fit pics after fit pics, it built up hype effectively despite being a drawn out rollout. Would this album have done better if it had dropped this time last year off the hype of tracks like CARNIVAL and TYPE s---, maybe, but looking at the current sales projections and streams, I think Carti will be just fine.

Onto the actual album though, off first listen I liked 27 out of 30 tracks, now it is 29 out of 30. The only miss for me is FINE s---, and even still I can admit the chorus is catchy. Carti showcases a bunch of different sounds here throughout 30 tracks (thank God, 30 tracks of the same sound would drive me insane even as a big Carti fan). Songs like RATHER LIE being on the same tracklist as songs OPM BABI, PHILLY, and LIKE WEEZY which all have different sounds provides reason to go through all 30 tracks. I truly believe there is something here for everybody! s---, even @Michael Myers took something from this project lol.

However, even though me saving 29 songs from your 30 song is EXTREMELY impressive, considering long drawn out albums (that are not considered double albums) do not do that for me most of the time, 30 songs is wild and trimming down the tracklist could have boosted the score of the album for me. There are for sure some tracks that could have been cut, most notably TWIN TRIM and WE NEED ALL DA VIBES. Not bad songs by any means, but why do they make an appearance here? I know this is supposed to have a mixtape feel, and it succeeds at it, but with both of these appearing in the back half of the album, it just feels like boosting song count last minute. TRIN TWIM is just a short, solo Uzi song that is a b-----r, but feels odd on here. It is a hard a--- verse too, wish Carti hopped on it for it to appear on Uzi's next album. WE NEED ALL DA VIBES was cool, but it's just an old Thugger song that Carti hopped on (and for a short a--- verse too). I would have preferred they made a new song together.

Trimming down some songs too could have also boosted the quality of them, and what comes to mind first is CHARGE DEM HOES A FEE. There is a lot of fat that could have been cut off this song. That part of the song where Future does some adlibs between the first and second chorus was not needed lol. Why not just do first verse, chorus, carti verse, chorus, trav verse, chorus? It is a more basic song structure, sure, but the song would be tighter as a result. Speaking of the Trav verse, while I like it, it feels too short for it to feel notable on the song. Travis is already on here 3 other times on better tracks, I would not be mad if I lost this verse.

Towards the end of the tracklist too, there are some songs that could get taken out too, but I do not want to say which ones because it's looking like my favs on this album are changing day by day and some songs that I think could get cut might end up being in my top 10 by the end of next week lol. There def is a slight bloat issue on this album, but the fact I like almost 100% of the tracks, it doesn't knock the score significantly for me whereas if it was a bunch of mid, it would drag down the score.

On the topic of features, I do feel like every feature did their part. There are a lot of repeated features, Kendrick 3 times, Travis 4, Future and Uzi both have 2 appearances, but they showed up and showed out. My feature highlights are Travis on WAKE UP F1LTHY and PHILLY, Skepta on TOXIC, Kendrick on GOOD CREDIT and BACKD00R, The Weeknd on RATHER LIE, and Uzi on JUMPIN.

Uzi's verse on JUMPIN even feels overhated to me. Sure, it's a short a--- song and an older verse (you can tell due to references to PINK TAPE and Carti's scrapped album Narcissist), but I think that verse is still the best part of the song. While an older song, it still differs from WE NEED ALL DA VIBES due to it being clearly a Carti and Uzi song, whereas the Thugger track was originally Thug x Gunna.

Carti has some great solo songs, LIKE WEEZY, I SEEEEEE YOU BABI BOI, DIS 1 GOT IT, EVIL J0RDAN, HBA, OLYMPIAN just to name a few favorites. He def did not get carried through this album!

As expected as well, the production on this album is incredible, I liked every single beat and I am a sucker for great production, so I was all over this. Chefs kiss! Would be an insane instrumental album if Carti ever decided to drop all 30 instrumentals offically.

Some additional negatives while I am thinking about it, CRUSH disappointed me. Not a bad song, I just thought it would be the big Travis collab on the album and I loved the snippet so so much, I think I just had too high of expectations for that particular track. I have seen people call it the Go2DaMoon of MUSIC, and I can see that. That track grew on me, so I would not be shocked if CRUSH worked its way up in my tracklist ranking. The (alleged) use of AI on RATHER LIE and FINE s--- is also disappointing. RATHER LIE is still a great song, but Carti's verses (allegedly) being AI hurts. The Weeknd and the fact that the verses are still good is why it still ends up around the mid point in my tracklist rating.

Overall, MUSIC is still a great album in my eyes. Some spots here and there that knock down some points for me. I believe that is all I have to say about this album, I hope I didn't leave any thoughts out but I managed to type this for close to 40 minutes so I think I should stop while I am ahead lol.

SCORE: 8/10

RIPPER ROO’S RATING: 8/10

Whether you love or you hate Playboi Carti, his music is the ultimate form of escapism. From one of the most diabolical releases of all time making MFers like me stay up until like 7 AM for the album to reinventing himself once again, his albums feel like events and that is rare in music’s current landscape. When you listen to a Carti album, you have no choice but to get trapped in his world for a while.

As I stated previously I was having some bad weeks and really needed this album. I’m able to escape my problems by listening to this album and then it influences me in the real world. The album makes me wanna get wild but also not give a f--- at the same time in a way that only Carti can and I carry that energy with me into my daily life which allows me to be less depressed by the bad times I’m experiencing and be more fun to be around.

Naming this album MUSIC might seem funny at first but I view it in a different way. Playboi Carti has been the essence of music, or at least hip hop, for years now. People wanna dress like him, people wanna rap like him. He’s doing great numbers with this album so he is dominating the mainstream yet dominating the underground at the same time as ever since Miss The Rage a WHOOOOOOOOOLE lot of MFers in the underground sound like Carti and WANT TO BE CARTI.

I’m not gonna go too in-depth in this review when it comes to talking about the songs because there’s f---ing 30 of them. What I will say is the album opens and ends very well. POP OUT really sets the tone for the album and feels like the dirty Atlanta version of Rockstar Made from Whole Lotta Red. SOUTH ATLANTA BABY closes the album and has a sample that reminds me of, ironically one of the singles that started this whole thing off, “2024” so that’s like wrapping a nice, neat bow on it. I love that because at this point that sample is insane and 2024 is one of my favorite Carti songs.

The fact that one of my GOATs collabed with some of my other GOATs Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd is a dream come true. Not only that but I got MULTIPLE Kendrick features which is insane. I had heard about Kendrick working with Carti a while ago so to see it finally materialize in this way is crazy. These lyrics from GOOD CREDIT already been recited by me so many times:

“Cardo my evil twin, Carti my evil twin
My skin is smoother, my teeth is whiter, my stride is longer, my thoughts is brighter
The hate get realer, the love get fake, but when you this great, that's how you should like it”

which is crazy because I relate to this so much. I feel like ever since Mr. Morale, Kendrick and I have been on the exact same wavelength it’s wild.

Same case with The Weeknd’s chorus on RATHER LIE:

“I'd rather lie than to lose you, girl
I'd rather lie than confuse you, girl
Truth is, we lapped them, they want us gone
Truth is they can't handle me at the top
I'd rather spare you the details, my love”

Okay enough of me glazing this album because there are some issues. First off 30 tracks is ridiculous because this album clearly did not need that many tracks especially when most of the features on here appear multiple times. I don’t mind Kendrick’s features but most of Travis’s features as well as Uzi’s features do absolutely nothing for me. Travis is fine though I guess.

These Uzi songs shouldn’t be on here which is a shame because everybody wanted them to collab again but it just isn’t the same unfortunately. Also I don’t know why this random thug and ty dolla sign song is on the album but okay. It really feels like Carti started throwing random s--- on here during that night he was keeping all of us waiting. This s--- is a big reason I can’t give the album a 10/10 like I wish I could. Even 9/10 would be pushing it I feel like so I went with 8/10. Overall though I am very satisfied with this album and will be listening to it for many years to come. I could talk way more about this album but I don’t feel like writing a novel right now lol @AOTWClub

Big Monkeys Blow Up Doll

I haven't had a ton of time this past week so I only got time to give this mixtape one play through. So gonna give a quick review as I'm at work again today.

I actually didn't dislike any of the songs here. I had only heard the Conway song and the ab Soul song before, so most of it was new to me. The songs i liked the most are

Lemon
Drugs
Symmetry
Fresh Prince
Carefree

I'm gonna give this mixtape a solid 7

Playboi Carti - I Am Music

I'm going to start off by saying WLR is close to being my favourite album of all time, and my most listened to album according to Last FM. So I had very high expectations for this. Overall, it wasn't as good as I was hoping but still pretty solid.

The highlight for me is that Carti is showing all his variety on this. He's got like 7 different voices now lmao. The production is pretty crazy for the most part. I liked the more sinister/dark songs. I thought the use of future, Travis, and Kendrick was really good.

He said that this was going to be "hella trim" but it's kind of the opposite. Its pretty bloated and the fact that there continues to be mixing updates after release tells me this iwas not a 100% finished product.

I really start losing interest around the 50 minute mark and it becomes a chore to finish. It doesn't help that there are two filler songs from Young Thug and Lil Uzi Vert which should have been songs on their own albums. Cartis just showing love I Guess? Lulu Uzi repeating "Pink tape" was a bit weird, and makes it so obvious it was a pink tape throw away.

This is probably my least favourite carti album but still pretty good. I'm hoping the same thing that happened to a lot of people with WLR happens to me, and with time it's starts clicking.

My rating: 7/10

My rating of other playboi albums:
Self titled: 7.5/10
Die Lit: 8/10
WLR: 10/10

@Allis Mines - Big Monkey’s Blowup doll

review

This was such a great, cohesive mixtape that has had pretty much infinite replayability for me during the last week or so. I played this s--- everywhere; in the car, at the grocery store, at work, at the free P diddy rally… hol’ up.

I’ve been itching to get my hands on more fresh-to-me hiphop to listen to. Lately I’ve kinda moved away from the genre and wasn’t really feeling like checking albums out so this was a godsend. There is a really cool, soulful vibe that permeates this mixtape. I don’t really have much else to say but to list some of my personal highlights. Carefree is a great tune; I’ve been meaning to get into Mick Jenkins’ music for a while and now I’ll definitely get to it asap (anyone got any recommendations for whete to start off?). The OME song is very typical of his style and as such I loved it. Honestly I enjoyed every track on here besides Not a Drill and Matthew in the Middle. The former just isn’t for me, while the latter I found to be a snoozer. Loved the energy on Fresh Prince, I do not know if it was intentional but the track is also funny as f--- in a way. Not only did Dead or Alive go straight to the playlist where it awaits for me to infinitely replay it, the song also kicked off what, to me, is the best section of the tape. Reality Check and The Come Up are both immaculate in every way! Great beats, great wordplay, great flows and amazing vibes. Same is true for F(R)lends, never heard of this guy but I like the style. I am also a sucker for jazz-rap so there’s that. Its transition into Indian Summer was smooth as h--- too. The run from Dead or Alive to Lemon was G R E A T, and so was this mixtape in general. I also appreciate how it does not get repetitive or stale at any point in its runtime despite being rap only. To me that’s a sign of a well-assembled single genre playlist.

9/10

Thanks for the tape!

Big Monkey's Blow Up Doll (best title yet)

The score rebound from your first album pick to now is crazy and I'm here to add to it lol, I liked pretty much every song here. I didn't save a couple songs to my own Spotify cause a couple of them didn't click with me as hard as the others for one reason or another but it's not a knock on quality. I also like that you sticked with a whole genre, it's hard for me to do that cause I'm ADHD brained but you did a good job keeping everything coherent.

I've been in the mood for chill rap music lately so it hit me at the perfect time, started out great with D.R.U.G.S. and I wasn't expecting the Mac ad-libs but it was great all around, Symmetry was also awesome I need to listen to more of basically everyone on the playlist more and Saba is no exception.

Carefree was one of my favorites, love everything I've heard from Mick, (How Could Anybody) Feel At Home took a bit to grow on me cause I didn't like the vocal effect on the hook but now I think it's the best part of the song lol.

Waves On Every Chain and Not A Drill are a couple of my favorites of the playlist back to back, I think the sequencing here worked quite well.

Fresh Prince also took a couple listens for me but it's cool, not an immediate favorite but I do like it now. Dead Or Alive is super good, big fan of that one.

The little boom bappy block with Reality Check and The Come Up was greatly appreciated, kept the energy while keeping the playlist from getting stale which is a balancing act.

F (R) Iends was dope, not something I'd listen to often just cause it's heavy but I really liked it. Indian Summer was pretty dope, a lot of Alchemist stuff while I respect it incredibly isn't usually my tempo very much but I liked it.

Deeper was a cool addition to this little storytelling block, not my favorite but solid, same with Mommy Dearest although I think this Boldy track was more interesting than deeper, it's pretty f----- and the writing was great, wouldn't go back to it much but it's very solid.

Griselda is hit or miss for me like even when it's songs I like it still feels like a coin flip on if I'll enjoy it depending on my mood, Lemon isn't one of my personal highlights on the record but it was super entertaining for what it is for sure

I like the inclusion of Matthew In The Middle, it didn't hit the hardest for me sonically but it's a good closer with some great writing.

Although the whole playlist didn't hit as hard as it did for others to me it got pretty d--- close and is absolutely one of the best we've gotten so far, good s--- man.

Favorites: D.R.U.G.S., Symmetry, Carefree, Wave On Every Chain, Not A Drill, Dead Or Alive.

9.5/10

@Allis Mines - Big Monkey’s Blowup doll REVIEW

Score: 10.0 (16/16)

Said I’d get this in earlier than usual and I ended up doing so only by one day LMFAOOOO. Anyways, AMAZING mixtape. Pure hip hop for 16 tracks and every track hit as it should. D.R.U.G.S. was a great opening track, and it just kept going for 15 tracks. Babyface Ray and Veeze back to back had some great energy for the middle of the tape, and shortly after Binary Star and AZ brought some of that classic hip hop feel to the tape which I loved. Conway’s track Lemon was insane as well. Lots of tracks on this mixtape I will be returning to a lot. GREAT s--- Allis!!
