    One of the best MCs in the last 20+ years.

    Amazing album. this review didn't pop into my notification box. project is good because of Conductor and Rome has amazing flows, Michelles records is going to be AOTY though. My album LSD TV is dropping Oct. 21st on all streaming platforms but on my channel, I am releasing a 46-minute-long animated music video to go along with the album drop. Best production this fall are my beats on my upcoming album, I recorded my own prerequisites its guaranteed to be something nobody heard before I'm making Jazz just to chop it into Hip Hop, trying to make what I think Coltrane would do with a modern postproduction studio.

    It's West fault 🤷🏻‍♂️😁 He has one of the best ears for beats in hiphop... He knows exactly what type of beats will fit his signed artists. He's one hell of a curator. We used to call them producers back in the days lol But yeah, mostly anything he puts his ear to turns to gold & makes rappers shine more. Flygod is the illest !! Personally I love the way it sounds, effin raw & in your face. Rome goes off like M-16 from start to the end. Great breath control, flows like a river, more bars than prisons... It's 10/10 for me.

    Kiss the Ring is solid. I like hearing Rome play with various producers. Agree thoroughly that Craven was glaringly absent from this “Murderer’s Row”. Though he wasn’t alone in his absence; I’d place Big Ghost LTD up in that consortium. That said, if you want to hear Rome perhaps at his best, though KTR may be it with more listens, I really believe he did it last year with Muggs on Death & The Magician. Also, for an excellent example of great modern storytelling in hip-hop, check out femdot.’s “Snuck to Mattie’s” on 94 Camry Music. Excellent review, Prof.

    • @Jimmy1982Playlists
      @Jimmy1982Playlists Před rokem

      I said the same in my comment - his best project prior to _Kiss The Ring_ is definitely _Death & The Magician_ with Muggs (tho his whole catalogue is raw af)... it's an incredible album I still listen to regularly, and not enough people were put onto it at the time - hoping Skye hears it. Not sure which album I'll like better in the long run, but they're both stunning.
      And I totally agree about Big Ghost Ltd. One of my top 4 or 5 producers working today. The third solo project of Conway's he did, _What Has Been Blessed Cannot Be Cursed,_ released earlier this year, I might even prefer to _God Don't Make Mistakes..._
      And of course _Griselda Ghost_ with Conway & Westside Gunn is a classic. Every time Griselda links with Ghost, it's amazing!

Honestly...Wale is a great story teller that people omit because they do not did into his lyricism deeply enough, which honestly is one of the grandest issues with many critiques of the art form.

      Every rapper is telling some story in their lyrics.
      Where most fail is in holding the listener's attention TO THE STORY rather than individual bars, the beat, melody, or even the skill and complexity of the MC's rhymes/flows. For that the author needs a high degree of emotional intelligence, understanding how most people see a narrative unfold in steps - even when parts are left unsaid.

    I think the album wasn’t polished almost every track was similar. His voice become tiring overtime to listen to on repeat.the bars was great it’s a great album but it just missing something .I think he needed more direction n grooming to appeal to a larger fan base. I want at least 3 songs I can. Just relax to n not feel like I’m at a hip hop rap session in the 90s. I’d felt like I was back in high school sitting round the lunch table n here mcees throw bars all day n that’s good but I’m older Rome is older give me some more growth within the bars something that ransom do effectively n effortlessly. Ransom give us growth. Rome sounds the same as he did when he first came out . Ransom don’t .. I only mention ransom to explain my point
