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

The good part is in disk 2. Beat-wise, this was a dud compared to "We Don't Trust You." But still... hip-hop production needs to step it up or step differently.

"Like That" has produced "7 Minute Drill," and since my last review, J.Cole has apologized for "7 Minute Drill." The rap game is a shambles. "Might Delete Later" is satire at this point, but we still review the crappy beats. It's hard to look any of the beats seriously as we await the Drake response to Kendrick diss while simultaneously listening to &quo...

Aside from all the drama created by "Like That," this album's production is potent in various ways. There's an absolute army of hip-hop production talent that contribute to Metro's leadership, but even more, I think Metro is really finding his niche in collaborating with other producers and beatmakers. The production is far from 'dialed in.' It's measured, it'...

Not much to be said. This is one to be listened. Q is back, and the production was a delight--for the most part.

PART B of my beat review/reaction (REVACTION) to the second half of YEAT's "2093 (P2)" is here! Part B has my favorite beat.

I didn't want to like this punk, but in my first listen, I immediately became a fan of this man's very aggressive yet purposeful production style, via his latest, "2093 (& P2)," I explain why in Part A of the "2093" review. We review the beats, not the words.

A hip-hop music production toure de force from Yeezy--reminiscent of the collaborative production efforts of B.D.T.F. Most of all, it just sounds like Kanye. This first listen reaction, review does not credit his contributors, some of which, have been a part of the Ye collective since he rented out an apartment with Donda in Newark, NJ. Other than the big names initially mentioned--Timbaland, JPEG...

This podcast is about the beats. And these beats, are produced, entirely by The Alchemist and Hit-Boy--possibly two of my top ten hip-hop producers ever. I do not know who Corbett is, but he's a contributer. And although, we focus on beats, music production, and audio engineering on this podcast, Benny may be my favorite active rapper in the game, so there's a bias that's hard to ignore. However,...

There is a great story behind the yellow curtain used for the cover of Lyrical Lemonade's "All is Yellow." The beats mostly adhere to commercial UMG Recordings, Inc guidelines, but there are some quiet gems in terms of production. Listen to my full pod!

Pretty crappy production with the exception of a few beats. STFU and listen to my review!

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! Production credits (via Complex) : “American Dream” f/ Heather Carmillia Joseph Written b...

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.

My beat reviews and reactions for the album, "King Zoo."

Weezy and Chainz feel the need to express their gripes with old age over a few instantly classic and, just classic, beats. I pick apart these beats. Wayne and Chainz' lyrics overshadow excellent production, despite there being a steady decline in production quality, at least, from my perspective. You'll see, you'll hear--me be annoyed.

Up and down.
