May 19, 2026 at 1:10 PM A goat Enjoy His new album had 5 or 6 good tracks. wasn't bad for a guy in his 50's? Ice Cube dropped a great project too but it started to get weak by the 2nd half of the album.

May 19, 2026 at 4:09 PM 1.5 hours Honestly it was awesome. A small venue, he started with Symphony in X and most of his classics. And some new ones. I know dude has been forgotten by the current generation but it was a great nostalgia trip!

May 19, 2026 at 4:44 PM Xzibit is a top 15 rapper imo He's got classics, as well as many classic tracks.
May 19, 2026 at 10:44 PM I felt exactly the same on first listen tbh, Went in with huge expectations, liked the obvious ones (Meat Grinder, America’s Most Blunted, Fancy Clown, Rhinestone Cowboy, Strange Ways), but the short sketches, interludes, and fragments made it feel like a scattered demo tape. Moved on. On relistens it grew on me heavy. The more I spun it, the more those little pieces started connecting. Once I stopped wanting traditional song structures, the whole project came together as one raw comic book villain vibe. The short tracks build atmosphere, Madlib’s dusty production reveals new layers, and DOOM’s wordplay hits deeper with every listen. It’s a grower, not a shower. After a few full spins the album clicked in a whole new way for me. Keep your favorites in rotation, but throw the whole thing on again every now and then. It creeps up on you. Nevertheless I still appreciate the review. Also, interesting fact even though they’re very different: DOOM opened for Em at a 1999 live show in NYC, and Em shouted out his passing on that EPMD 2 verse too.
May 20, 2026 at 12:04 AM I don't know man. 6ix9ine gotta be above. Vanilla Ice and a bunch of other dope rappers.
May 20, 2026 at 9:38 AM That's what those backpackers would say... Myers knows all about them. Don't forget Lil B and Viper the goat
May 20, 2026 at 11:42 AM Please tell me you rap over PinkPantheress type beats with the voice and flow of Busta Rhymes
May 20, 2026 at 10:09 PM I know that we're not reviewing MOH or Habibti anymore, but since they're so tied to the rollout, I'll give my brief thoughts before the proper review Maid of Honour - I don't hate it...? The first few tracks were pretty fun, and I have a soft spot for dumb s--- so a song like "Cheetah Print" is relaly f---ing funny. I feel like it gets old after a while. Most of this album would go crazy on some loud a--- speakers. Rating: 6/10 Habibti- I literally forgot what any of these songs sound like. My least favorite Drake songs are the boring ones, and this is his most boring project ever Rating: 1/10 Now, for the main course: Drake - Iceman This might sound a bit strange, but I was surprisingly excited for Iceman. For the first time ever, I was seriously looking forward to a Drake album. This is for a variety of reasons. Obviously, the 2024 beef is chief among them, but I had a feeling that something about this album would be "special" amongst Drake's others. For the first time in more than a decade, Drake is the underdog, I guess. Aside from delusional OVO fans, I don't think anybody expected him to beat Kendrick, and even then, I was very surprised by how well he carried himself before f---ing it all up with "THE HEART PART 6". Now, i don't really have any issue listening to records from the "loser" in a rap beef. I can still enjoy an album like Blueprint 2 even if Hov is the loser (although, "Takeover" is a much better song than "Ether" ). For me, I feel like the lawsuit shenanigans are what really taint my view on Drake's post-beef activities. It's pretty hard to take a guy seriously when he's literally using the legal system to win a beef lmao. I didn't really care for $$$4U at all, but "Nokia" is probably one of my favorite hits of the decade so far. So regardless, I was pretty excited to hop in. For the record, I am a Drake fan. I sincerely believe that every project from So Far Gone to If You're Reading This It's Too Late is d--- good (shoutout WATTBA as well!). Albums like Take Care or Nothing Was the Same manage to have a pretty good blend of great Rap and R&B cuts and I can honestly say that I enjoy them a lot. Post-IYRTITL tho? Idk man. Starting with Views (which I haven't revisited in a while tbf), I feel like Drake has been struggling with bloat a lot. There are some great tracks on every post 2015 Drake record of course, but as a full album, I wouldn't say that they're especially great. As much as I love some of those TC and NWTS R&B cuts, I've always wanted a full on Drake rap record, and aside from Disc 1 of Scorpion and Her Loss I feel like we haven't really gotten that. I think that Iceman delivers on a lot of fronts. Drake isn't an all time MC or anything, but I feel like his pen is pretty d--- strong here. You have a great intro in the form of "Make them Cry" and some absolute gems like "Janice STFU", "Ran to Atlanta" and "2 Hard 4 the Radio". "Make them Pay" has an incredible sample, and Drake does a pretty good job (I didn't expect him to bring up Palestine as a gotcha for Khaled, but a win is a win, I guess). I was a bit worried about how a song like "What Did I Miss?" would factor in over a year after its release, but I think it fit in pretty d--- well. I honestly think that this is Drake's strongest album since IYRTITL, and I never thought I would say that. So, this is a clear cut 9 or 10 for me right? Not exactly. As I mentioned in the intro to this review, it is very hard to take Drake's beef talk seriously since he's literally suing Kendrick. This fact brings this album's enjoyment down quite a bit for me. Still, I very surprisingly enjoyed this. FAVORITES: Janice STFU, Ran to Atlanta, Make them Pay, What Did I Miss?, 2 Hard 4 the Radio RATING: 8/10 @AOTWClub @Justin Trudeau
