May 24, 2024 Hey guys do me a favour and tag me in your reviews so I don't miss em! Hey @Michael Myers how come the group tag doesn't work? I just tried it, am I just stupid? @AOTWClub
May 24, 2024 Isaiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo Not gonna lie, I struggled a bit with this one. I felt the album didn't really get going until Modest. I liked the references to the more mainstream side of things from then on. Bears were ok, lyrics and flow were good/great across the whole project I just didn't feel it clicking for me. Also, no Kendrick feature sticks out to me for a TDE album. Overall good but not something I'd return to, I gave it a full 10 spins though. 6/10.
May 24, 2024 I’ve listened to CD countless times over the years, and i’ve always enjoyed it. My fav was always the title track but this time around I really like West Savannah. I figure it’s about time i relisten to TST and THIB too. I’d give it a 8.5/10
May 24, 2024 Ever since @DKC recommended him to me I've been in love with Isaiah's music, TDE around this time was unstoppable but I find his some of the easiest out of the label to replay consistently. (proof he's my third most listened to artist lol): Love the beats, flows, features (Especially SZA, ScHoolboy and, Jay Rock), hooks and lyrics on most of the songs. I would say my favorite songs are Webbie Flow, Ronnie Drake, West Savannah, Soliloquy, Heavenly Father, and Shot You Down. West Savannah, Heavenly Father, and Ronnie Drake has some of my favorite substantive lyrics on the record by far. Idk what wavelength him and SZA are on but they make incredible songs together as well. Even if I think a song like Brad Jordan feels like it's there for padding I still really enjoy it and at the least like basically every song on the record. (Don't need my score fed into the average, seems a bit unfair since I already came into this loving it) It's like a 9/10 for me personally. Probably would be lower if I hadn't had as much time as I've had with it for everything to grow on me.
May 25, 2024 Always happy to help create another Isaiah Rashad fan. One of my fav albums ever also good timing I just got out of the Cilvia Demo 10th anniversary show Side note at the show Zay said his fav song on the album is Menthol which is also mine so I feel vindicated lol
May 25, 2024 @hargydon @AOTWClub Are we cool with doing next week with eminems potential release or what do we wanna do for a gameplan? I listen to a ton of music but whatever you guys wanna do
May 25, 2024 After @icecube’s dilemma/threat, I’ve changed my album pick to a light melodic rap project so it won’t be too much to process, easy listening. But it’s up to you guys.
May 25, 2024 Menthol is a great one for sure. I forgot he was doing 10th anniversary shows, how was it? Saw he had his whole crowd jumping to Not Like Us at one of the shows lmao
