Black Album, Blueprint 3, and Watch The Throne, and I think Kanye’s heavy involvement in the last two are why I like them so much

Those two are def undisputed classics but ik people don’t care for TB3, but no album with Thank You, Empire State of Mind, and A Star Is Born can be a bad album

Jay likes touching little kids. The Camel should be where R Kelly is right now.

Ive always felt Jay was a tad overrated, I like him and respect what hes brought to the game but project wise Ive never really loved a Jay album. To be honest I loved kingdom come when it dropped and everyone was like wtf. Blueprint 3 was my Jay Z intro album when I started getting heavy into rap. Stole it the CD from my cousin

Paris Texas - They Left Me With The Sword and They Left Me With A Gun Combo Meal

Favorites: Dogma 25, Tantrum, Holy Spinal Fluid, Twin Geeker, No Strings

RIPPER ROO’S RATING: 7.5/10 (This is a rare time I’m using the Dewey decimal system due to 2 projects being combined into 1 combo meal. Sword was 8/10 and Gun was 7/10)

These are both really good projects from Paris Texas. I liked Sword more than Gun due to Sword being more rap heavy whereas Gun leaned more into the punk rock singing aspects which I don’t f--- with as much as the rap when it comes to Paris Texas. To illustrate that point further, just look at my favorites. 3 of them come from Sword while only 2 of them come from Gun.

Sword had great energy on every track. There’s lots of good one liners as well, particularly on “Tantrum” and “Holy Spinal Fluid”. Sometimes the duo reminds me of XXXTENTACION and Ski Mask here which is a plus. Gun also has some nice moments, especially on “Twin Geeker” and “No Strings”. I thought I wasn’t going to like “No Strings” at first but the beautifully smooth singing on the chorus really pulled me in.

This whole combo meal in general was a good experiment that really showcases the versatility of Paris Texas, even if I think their rap songs are more enjoyable. They still pull off the punk s--- well at times and never have a dull moment. There’s lots of creative production choices here and the duo works well together. @AOTWClub

Ready to drop my album tonight. Can’t believe it’s taken this long for one of this artist’s albums to get reviewed here.

My pick is…

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo


Yup, here comes Ripper Roo to ruin the rap round once again. Olivia is coming out with new music very very soon that I’m looking forward to so I thought it would be a good time for myself and others to revisit this album after not hearing it for quite some time. I’m interested to see if my opinion and other’s opinions have changed on this album. Another reason I picked this was because it’s more divisive than SOUR, her first album. @AOTWClub

@Michael Myers ty for the Jay z album recommendation because I’ve been put back on to blueprint 3 and have listened to Thank You like 10 times today. 3rd verse of that song might be top 5 verses OAT for me

I’ve been getting more into more attractive females singing type music recently so this is awesome.

 

Mar 29, 2026 at 1:00 AM

Yes she’s attractive but her music is just as good as her looks

Olivia Rodrigo dares to ask the question "what if a hot filipina swiftie made loser geek rock?"
