Man i was waiting for you to react to this project. Not many people post reactions/reviews on roc marci projects for how good he is. Really appreciate you reacting to these underground projects B-side.
Salute!! Preciate you tapping in! Roc fasho one of the rappers I drop everything to react to. I honestly don’t really even have a huge bias about reacting to underground vs mainstream - I just like breaking down actual lyricism and underground guys run laps around mainstream cats lyrically and probably always will. We get exception with cats like JID and 2010s era Kendrick but I follow the lyricists lol.
I loved the album, but full disclosure, Roc probably has my favourite discography of all time with his consistency. I wrote in my review on AOTY that this production felt like Roc Marci 2.0. The production felt experimental like Mt. Marci but still fresh and different, and I don't know how he is still finding loops that fit his style even better than his previous work. The rhyme schemes he hit on this album were crazy as well! Possibly not as many memorable punch lines as The Elephant Man's Bones but arguably more complex. Really enjoyed this one! Been on repeat since its release!
I feel you dawg! Roc got one of the best discogs in modern rap. I mean I lowkey hate Kaos lol but almost everything else is awesome…even joints that don’t really get a ton of love like behold a dark horse. Mt Marci 2.0 is accurate af!! Both albums have had some of my fav Roc production…I love him going down this more experimental route. I haven’t been the biggest fan of roc’s production…and I feel like he carries the production a lot…but mt Marci and this have joints that I would like even if the rapping was average. Facts! Off only 1 complete listen, my initial impression is that the rapping on this is more consistently better, but he has higher highs and standout moments on elephant man’s bones. And I do have elephant man’s both as slightly better off first listen. You’re talking about on Album of the year . Org right? Can you link me to your review? I couldn’t find it
@@BSideRapReviews He definitely does! I like Kaos but I understand that people may not be a huge fan of it. The Shit I’m on is a classic song though. What did you think of the production on RR2? I think that’s my favourite Roc Marci album.
lol roc Marci I gotta drop what I’m doing tonight to react…if I gotta risk getting fired and neglect my son for a few hours - I gotta do what I gotta do 😭😭😭
You know ball!! Yeah I can make a great argument for a few others too like Billy woods, black thought, ransom, etc, but the other thing bout roc and Mach is their discogs are both awesome as well!
Yo facts!! I heard Roc supposed to be on Mach’s album that’s dropping soon so that’s bout to be tuff af. I’ll say, bar for bar I gotta give it to Mach. I do gotta say tho, Roc’s most recent projects….say in the last 5 years….are better than Mach’s. But bar for bar they both aliens but Mach is slightly more absurd lol
@@RXKDonhe had a listening party for Rich Ass Haitian at the Aimé Leon Dore story in NY within the last month or so. It’s coming! Question is whether it’ll be on streaming day-one or an obscenely high price on his website first.
Ever since I discovered Roc Marciano in that freestyle he did with Conway “barbershop freestyle” I believe, I went down a rabbit hole in his back catalog and I have never been this mind blown by a rapper. It’s hard not to compare other rappers to Roc and it makes them seem weak in comparison
I’m with you on that! My first time hearing him was behold a dark horse cus it came out in 2018 as I was just getting back plugged into underground rap. His whole rap style of extremely intricate rhyme schemes with high level punching was insane to me. I had heard his name floating around before that as one of the best and it only took one or 2 songs for Me to see why. Been a huge fan ever since
You’re back!! I was waiting for you to review this album. Roc’s pen doesn’t look like it’s catching dust any time soon. Any chance you’ll get to reviewing Ransom’s “Lavish Misery” next?
@@Figleaf-Bicarbonate both lol very questionable production choices - especially given how awesome muggs is and roc did his lyrical acrobatics but he had some very questionable lines and landmines which is extremely rare for him. I’d have to relisten to the album to give you specifics (which I honestly don’t want to do lmaoo). It’s prob not that bad on the grand scheme of things but compared to other roc albums and given how good of a producer of Muggs is, it made no sense for that album to be what it is lol
Hahah ay I was really thinking last month if it was too late! The only issue is im OCD about getting my list and there’s a BUNCH that I haven’t heard esp stuff that dropped after I moved and got a new job last fall. I can give you a top 10 off the top of my head though… 1. JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - Scaring the Hoes 2. Billy Woods& Kenny Segal - Maps 3. Elzhi - Heavy Vibrato 4. Armand Hammer - We Buy Diabetic Test Strip’s 5. Skyzoo - The Mind of a Saint 6. Mick Jenkins - The Patience 7. Rome Streetz & Big Ghost Ltd - Wasn’t Built In A Day 8. Mickey Diamond & Sadhugold - Death Threats 9. Noname - Sundial 10. Mike - Burning Desire 11. Madlib, Meyhem Lauren & DJ Muggs - Champagne For Breakfast 12. Ransom - Director’s Cut Scene 4
Love how in depth and descriptive you gettin about the rhyme schemes my bro! Been listening to the album for the last week straight, might be recency bias but its def in my top 3 Roc projects. Can't wait for the vinyl drop!
Roc is a genius! He raps very diff than when he started, he basically reinvented himself thru the 3 MCs that kept the underground going strong Prodigy Sean P & Raekwon,….he’s a true student of the culture PEACE.
Banger review as always dawg🔥. This album is some serious heat. Roc is really one of the best rhymers ever, and he really has that taste for detail and will highlight the right things to really paint a scene within the matter of a bar or two. And a lot of the times it’s just funny😂. Highkey, we all would love a reaction from you on the new J Cole tape. It’s some of his best rhyming and flowing ever, hands down. It’s downright impressive. But again it showed the large gap between him and someone like Roc. He can flow and rhyme, but in the actual bars, he compromises detail and substance to get there. He’s rapping about his lavish lifestyle, but there’s not any vivid or detail to where you can imagine a scene, and there’s no idiosyncratic specifics to where it feels super real. His devices of choice tend to be similes and entendres, a significant portion of which are downright cringe to where it’s hard to listen😂. Regardless, I feel like you could break it down beautifully and offer great insight to the levels of skill there are in this the game. Especially with the beef going on right now. Blessings g
@@robertmckinney8731 Yo Wormhole is that fire son! Christian Dior shit get the bitches talkin, offerings, it's a dog-eat-dog world pimp! What?? Crazy wordplay on that joint. Nothing you love is safe, I just dug in yo safe!
To expand on your words that he is one of the best / the best at rhyming right now, To think that he is that good of a producer too is crazy. The best producer that ever rapped. With both quality and quantity under his belt.
Mickey Diamond currently on an insane run, his projects with Sadhugold, Camoflauge Monk and Big Ghost are all top tier, but you right, this new album is some of his best. By the time track 3 hit on that Super Shredder joint I knew was gon be spinnin the album for the rest of time
His projects are fire, but I just think he's dropping too much now. They are inspired projects but individual ones are now just much less memorable with similar themes and content
It’s hard to top Elephant Man’s Bones but this was a great project. A few of Rocs beats were a bit lackluster in my opinion, but he is rapping his ass off as usual. Animoss (Hermit and the Recluse with KA) and Alchemist had dope beats on here. Crimeapple verse was tough.
Big ole facts but tbh I think he got lackluster beats on every projects lol. For this project, even with the misses, I was just glad that he was stepping out his comfort zone lol. But yeah I got this joint a notch behind elephant man’s bones. Man when crime turn it on, he’s INSANE. I think his only issue is he ain’t the most consistent rapper. But if he rap like this on all his joints, he’d be one of the best in the underground
Bro you gotta react to Blame Kansas by T.F! First half is produced by Mephux second half prod by Roc Marciano. Features Roc, Conway, Flee, CRIMEAPPLE. That’s a perfect intro to him. Dude is the LA version of a Griselda MC
The Boldy joint ain’t completely out of the question yet tbh. I prob won’t double back to the Rome joint (b/c at this point if ima review an album that I heard and not recent, I’d rather do death and the magician). I like the Rome Streetz album but I don’t think it’s as good as Kiss the ring or even Wasn’t Built in a Day which came out earlier last year…and I don’t even think it’s particularly close. I absolutely love his production choices on NK5 tho. I don’t think every beat was great but bruh went for it. Rome’s lane of rap can get a little cookie cutter, but Rome had a lot of beats that were creative af and out of the box but still stayed true to his sound. Reason I don’t like it as much as KIss the ring or wasn’t built in a day is b/c I think the rapping wasn’t as good as Rome usually is. Seemed like he had more emphasis on flow and content than just pure lyricism…and it wasn’t bad….just not quite as good. Boldy….i think I never want to hear him and craven together again lol. Album is fine tbh but I don’t think they pair well together. I think most the songs had pretty good rapping but the song and album overall was boring. One I didn’t like most the production choices from craven…def not as much as Fair Exhange No Robbery (a project that I thinked craven carried Boldy on). Craven essentially just takes a sample and loop them with very little change…and I don’t mind that at all but if he’s going to do that he gotta pick more interesting samples and find more variety. About half the beats sound like they coulda been sampled from the same source. I do think the album picked up at the second half. If the album dropped the first 4 or so songs I prob would be higher on it
Dope project, it's impossible for marci to miss, he has one of the greatest discographies ever and the 2nd most perfect discography in hip hop behind doom, not a single bad project from him. it might be too soon to place this in his work? but so far, i'd say his best in order are these 👇. 12. Marci beaucoup 11. The pimpire strikes back 10. Behold a dark horse 9. The elephant man's bones 8. Marciology 7. Kaos 6. Marcielago 5. Mt marci (classic) 4. RR2 (classic) 3. RR1 (classic) 2. Marcberg (classic) 1. Reloaded (classic) Much love to marci, one of the goats of hip hop ✌.
Ayy man, love your reactions. Ik youve been busy with life but i still appreciate whenever we get a vid. You think we might get a j cole reactions or nahh?
Preciate the love dawg! Yeah I busy but I’m tryna get back to consistent drops. I really just gotta get used to recording vids late at night. I think my energy is better and I digest the lyrics better during the middle of the day but if I gotta turn into a night owl for the culture I got yall lmao! Ima get back consistent very soon - preciate yall rocking with me! Man idk honestly. I think it’ll be a high chance I’ll react to his next album - especially if it’s good - but I’m not a huge Cole fan. I think albums like 2014 and Off-season are pretty good but I don’t think they’re nearly as good as they’re hyped up to be. And if the album is on pace with say KOD…my reaction might go very left lol. Anyways, I’m lowkey rambling, but I say all that to say the idea of reacting to j cole doesn’t excite me a ton, and if you’re a Cole fan, it might be way more critical than you hope lol. Edit: I didn’t even realize he dropped today when I responded (he didn’t announce this right?). I’ll actually try to check it out and react since it’s a slow week 💪🏾
@@BSideRapReviews I feel you bro, not as much of a cole fan as I was when I was younger. Just like the way you break bars down, thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on em. But yeah man if you not interested I get it.
I was waiting for this review, my album of the year so far and one of my first marci albums. You gotta get around to the boldy and craven album from earlier this yeat
You gotta check out the new Estee Nack album man. I don't rock with him like that but the beats on the album are some of the best i've heard, futurewave is just insane and he actually has some crazy good verses too, recommend checking it out
What up B. I had a feeling you would up this one. Anybody else feel like Roc was channeling Smooth the Hustla and Trigga the Gambla on the beginning of True Love? Immediately thought about Broken Language when that verse started. I'm not gonna rate this album because I'm biased asf when it comes to Marci...buuuuut, ain't nobody fucking with this man.
Bro you spot on with that one!!! Funny enuff, I couldn’t remember the name of the song that flow was from but I knew it was the same song and flow that influenced the flow of Chinese Gunn by Westside Gunn, and chine Gunn ended up getting stuck in my head while I was editing True Love. Thats a sick flow - I love when other rappers have lil subtle nods like that. And bro for real! I didn’t like every single production choice but man Roc is VERY different with the rapping. Preciate the support brodie! Hope everything good your way!
Love the review, just tapped in after seeing Roc last night in Frisco. Dude rapped for an hour and half all classics. I agreed with you on all the points, I never really got into the KAOS tape.. I thought CRIMEAPPLE went crazy but the rest of the features were kinda weak especially Jay Worthy. I would probably put this in the #4 slot for Roc's discography after Reloaded, Marcberg, TEMB. I would be curious to hear how you rank his albums. They all dope for different reasons tho.
Been loving this album bro. I agree with you about On The Run & LeFlair. I'm cool with True Love & Tapeworm though. Might end up being one of my favorite projects from him over time
first time watching a video from you i was excited to see someone react to this album but ion know if i can finish the video after that griselda stray… they my favorite crew rn😂
I’m leaning Elephant Man’s bones VERY slightly as well. I think this album took more risks than elephant man’s bones from the production side but I can’t deny the Alc production was a little better, even tho I think it wasn’t the best alc and he played it safe. Bar for bar - I think it’s pretty even between the 2 albums. Side note: what you think the Steelers gon do this year with Russ? You think he gon even keep the starting job all year?
@@BSideRapReviews I think he’ll do good as long as the O line holds up. He’s got a pretty complete team around him. Only thing that’ll kill us this year agin is coaching but we’ll see
When I'm driving to Marciology I know I'm on some other shit because I dont' skip not one song. I just let this album take me there. Your break down takes it to another level.
LMFAOOO im self aware to know im prejudice against strings 😂 Man it’s just a specific type of strings tho. Like I swear every other underground rap song in the 2010s had the same few strings and it got old years ago lol. Ransom is the worst offender of it lol…where with him I think that was a really popular production style when he first starting blowing up and he never stopped using em. Its like the OGs who still be wearing Sean jeans and South Pole 😂 Good string samples I still love like kitchen lights by Westside gun. The ones from roc here weren’t actually that bad by themselves, it just got repetitive.
@@BSideRapReviews No doubt it's redundant when you have a one bar loop with no switch ups that goes for the entire song ....cough cough.. Nicholas Craven!
Yeah you’re 100% right - I knew I was gonna wanna take that comment back after I made it 😂 Yeah I’ll even go as far as to say Elzhi’s rapping on heavy vibrato is better than rocs rapping here and that’s saying A LOT. Elzhi had multiple points where he rapped every single syllable
Faaaacts!! No official release date for the Mach tape but a lot of folks are speculating that his new take “richasshatian” is gonna drop on the weekend of Haitian flag day which is May 18th. He had a preorder for the physical copies of the album, and I think those are supposed to ship in May which would support a May release date.
AOTY so far imo! Now tbh I don’t think it’ll stay that way. It’ll be top 10 for me…maybe even top 5 but I think it can be best. Bar for bar if might big be touched tho!
Always a solid review, and yeah I agree the vocal sample on True Love is annoying af. Didn't sit right in the mix at all. All said Roc Marci is one of if not the best lyricist in the game rn
At one point I assumed you were gonna peep The Fall Off given Coles recent feature run - but after todays wack ass release I dont imagine you will lmao
@@BSideRapReviews you should for the sake of good content because I'll know you'll break it down good and actually teach something to the Cole-miners lol Jokes asde tho, its your average mid Cole release where he actually responds to Kendricks diss ... and hes being clowned as a result. That should given you an idea

This album is the closest to Doom I ever heard Roc sound… especially on Gold Crossbow
right ! i thought i was the only one who noticed .
same way Roc Marci dont miss BSide reviews dont miss either 🔥🔥🔥
sad we ain’t get reviews but curious on your thoughts- what’d you think of boldy james and rome streetz most recent projects?
The Boldy joint ain’t completely out of the question yet tbh. I prob won’t double back to the Rome joint (b/c at this point if ima review an album that I heard and not recent, I’d rather do death and the magician).
I like the Rome Streetz album but I don’t think it’s as good as Kiss the ring or even Wasn’t Built in a Day which came out earlier last year…and I don’t even think it’s particularly close.
I absolutely love his production choices on NK5 tho. I don’t think every beat was great but bruh went for it.

Reason I don’t like it as much as KIss the ring or wasn’t built in a day is b/c I think the rapping wasn’t as good as Rome usually is. Seemed like he had more emphasis on flow and content than just pure lyricism…and it wasn’t bad….just not quite as good.
Boldy….i think I never want to hear him and craven together again lol. Album is fine tbh but I don’t think they pair well together. I think most the songs had pretty good rapping but the song and album overall was boring. One I didn’t like most the production choices from craven…def not as much as Fair Exhange No Robbery (a project that I thinked craven carried Boldy on). Craven essentially just takes a sample and loop them with very little change…and I don’t mind that at all but if he’s going to do that he gotta pick more interesting samples and find more variety. About half the beats sound like they coulda been sampled from the same source. I do think the album picked up at the second half. If the album dropped the first 4 or so songs I prob would be higher on it
that tapeworm joint was the probably craziest shit ive heard innna min
that beat was cold af
Dope project, it's impossible for marci to miss, he has one of the greatest discographies ever and the 2nd most perfect discography in hip hop behind doom, not a single bad project from him.
it might be too soon to place this in his work? but so far, i'd say his best in order are these 👇.
12. Marci beaucoup
11. The pimpire strikes back
10. Behold a dark horse
9. The elephant man's bones
8. Marciology
7. Kaos
6. Marcielago
5. Mt marci (classic)
4. RR2 (classic)
3. RR1 (classic)
2. Marcberg (classic)
1. Reloaded (classic)
Much love to marci, one of the goats of hip hop ✌.
His catalog is so flawless. Not one bad album.
Ayy man, love your reactions. Ik youve been busy with life but i still appreciate whenever we get a vid. You think we might get a j cole reactions or nahh?
Preciate the love dawg! Yeah I busy but I’m tryna get back to consistent drops. I really just gotta get used to recording vids late at night. I think my energy is better and I digest the lyrics better during the middle of the day but if I gotta turn into a night owl for the culture I got yall lmao! Ima get back consistent very soon - preciate yall rocking with me!
Man idk honestly. I think it’ll be a high chance I’ll react to his next album - especially if it’s good - but I’m not a huge Cole fan. I think albums like 2014 and Off-season are pretty good but I don’t think they’re nearly as good as they’re hyped up to be. And if the album is on pace with say KOD…my reaction might go very left lol.
Anyways, I’m lowkey rambling, but I say all that to say the idea of reacting to j cole doesn’t excite me a ton, and if you’re a Cole fan, it might be way more critical than you hope lol.
Edit: I didn’t even realize he dropped today when I responded (he didn’t announce this right?). I’ll actually try to check it out and react since it’s a slow week 💪🏾
@@BSideRapReviews I feel you bro, not as much of a cole fan as I was when I was younger. Just like the way you break bars down, thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on em.
But yeah man if you not interested I get it.
I fuck with all your reviews my guy. Keep doing your thing G. Respect!
We got a new plug in Medellin 🇳🇬 what a reaction bro blessings.🫡
First vid I seen from u gotta subscribe fire
Subscribed 🤝
Welcome, gang!! Preciate you tapping in!
@@BSideRapReviews THANK GOD FOR ROC MARCI 🙌🙏
Put TRUE LOVE in the ride. Then apologize 🔊 Great review as always 🫡
I was waiting for this review, my album of the year so far and one of my first marci albums. You gotta get around to the boldy and craven album from earlier this yeat
You gotta check out the new Estee Nack album man. I don't rock with him like that but the beats on the album are some of the best i've heard, futurewave is just insane and he actually has some crazy good verses too, recommend checking it out
V Don is the producer
What up B. I had a feeling you would up this one.
Anybody else feel like Roc was channeling Smooth the Hustla and Trigga the Gambla on the beginning of True Love? Immediately thought about Broken Language when that verse started.
I'm not gonna rate this album because I'm biased asf when it comes to Marci...buuuuut, ain't nobody fucking with this man.
Bro you spot on with that one!!! Funny enuff, I couldn’t remember the name of the song that flow was from but I knew it was the same song and flow that influenced the flow of Chinese Gunn by Westside Gunn, and chine Gunn ended up getting stuck in my head while I was editing True Love. Thats a sick flow - I love when other rappers have lil subtle nods like that.
And bro for real! I didn’t like every single production choice but man Roc is VERY different with the rapping.
Preciate the support brodie! Hope everything good your way!
Love the review, just tapped in after seeing Roc last night in Frisco. Dude rapped for an hour and half all classics. I agreed with you on all the points, I never really got into the KAOS tape.. I thought CRIMEAPPLE went crazy but the rest of the features were kinda weak especially Jay Worthy. I would probably put this in the #4 slot for Roc's discography after Reloaded, Marcberg, TEMB. I would be curious to hear how you rank his albums. They all dope for different reasons tho.
Been loving this album bro. I agree with you about On The Run & LeFlair. I'm cool with True Love & Tapeworm though. Might end up being one of my favorite projects from him over time
Great review/reaction homie!
first time watching a video from you i was excited to see someone react to this album but ion know if i can finish the video after that griselda stray… they my favorite crew rn😂
Bad Juju, that Uncle Al on production - that's why Larry fits so perfectly
Ugh I was going to use that sample from the "Larry Bird" myself. Good catch Roc Marci. Great digging.
Can you review Lloyd banks COTI albums? All 3 fire 🔥
This album was crazy !!!!
ROC Marci is on another planet 🌎
Straight facts🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"True Love" is a bop! This album might be his 3rd or 4th best album, better than his last album, Mt. Marci
on the RUNNN
Thank you for your review 🤞🏿🌋 #PIMPIRE #TheAandR
we need that mach hommy reaction!
Already recorded - just gotta edit!!
Def a fire album. But personally I like Elephant man bones a little more.
I’m leaning Elephant Man’s bones VERY slightly as well. I think this album took more risks than elephant man’s bones from the production side but I can’t deny the Alc production was a little better, even tho I think it wasn’t the best alc and he played it safe. Bar for bar - I think it’s pretty even between the 2 albums.
Side note: what you think the Steelers gon do this year with Russ? You think he gon even keep the starting job all year?
@@BSideRapReviews I think he’ll do good as long as the O line holds up. He’s got a pretty complete team around him. Only thing that’ll kill us this year agin is coaching but we’ll see
When I'm driving to Marciology I know I'm on some other shit because I dont' skip not one song. I just let this album take me there. Your break down takes it to another level.
roc marciano is a 1000 year old vampire with 1000 years of pimp game
The shipment was bigger than Ricki Lake😤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Dope Review 🫡
That’s why I think the album cover and name of the album is funny because it’s almost like he’s doing magic with his words😂😂
“Sounds like Boyz 2 Men did a collab with a snake charmer” is a bar 🔥🔥
Nothing is beating this Marci album for a long time, except another Marci album. Also I need a Roc X Manteca collab album before I die.
Also like the bama comparison haha roll tide
Roc Marci is my GOAT.
Thats it for me. Hes the goat
Note to self, do NOT put string beats on the album if B Side reviews it. 😂
LMFAOOO im self aware to know im prejudice against strings 😂
Man it’s just a specific type of strings tho. Like I swear every other underground rap song in the 2010s had the same few strings and it got old years ago lol. Ransom is the worst offender of it lol…where with him I think that was a really popular production style when he first starting blowing up and he never stopped using em. Its like the OGs who still be wearing Sean jeans and South Pole 😂
Good string samples I still love like kitchen lights by Westside gun. The ones from roc here weren’t actually that bad by themselves, it just got repetitive.
@@BSideRapReviews No doubt it's redundant when you have a one bar loop with no switch ups that goes for the entire song ....cough cough.. Nicholas Craven!
Him and Sean price and MF Doom birth this era period 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Roc Wordplay is phenomenal. And ppl say Roc and June twins I need that pimp talk when they do records 🤣🤣
Goyard God is one of the best tracks hes ever put out
Yall check out KA. Roc got a lot of sauce from him as well, not that he bit dude im just sayin.
Nahhhh larry june’s verse sounding like that dude on tiktok that goes to target😭😭😭 thats crazy
Went Diamond is Song of the Year and a Top 5 Roc Marci Joint
PLEASE try and review the album 'Scum 2' by Da Flyy Hooligan from the UK. Very dope. Have been co signed my Marciano, Planet Asia and Conway
Elzhi rhymes like that too but you are right there is like 2 to 3 rappers who are this meticulous.
Yeah you’re 100% right - I knew I was gonna wanna take that comment back after I made it 😂
Yeah I’ll even go as far as to say Elzhi’s rapping on heavy vibrato is better than rocs rapping here and that’s saying A LOT. Elzhi had multiple points where he rapped every single syllable
ROC underrated in so many ways. Please let us know when. Mach drop
Faaaacts!! No official release date for the Mach tape but a lot of folks are speculating that his new take “richasshatian” is gonna drop on the weekend of Haitian flag day which is May 18th.
He had a preorder for the physical copies of the album, and I think those are supposed to ship in May which would support a May release date.
Man roc shit is 🔥
I agree with alot of reviews and opinions from. I don't see the larry June or jay worthy hype..I dunno why I can't just get into then
Dang, True Love is one of my top 3
Album of the year
Only disliked 2 songs
AOTY so far imo! Now tbh I don’t think it’ll stay that way. It’ll be top 10 for me…maybe even top 5 but I think it can be best. Bar for bar if might big be touched tho!
Always a solid review, and yeah I agree the vocal sample on True Love is annoying af. Didn't sit right in the mix at all. All said Roc Marci is one of if not the best lyricist in the game rn
Feels like I just walked into heavens gates, with 11 chain🔥
True love is for the whip. Lows crazy on that one
At one point I assumed you were gonna peep The Fall Off given Coles recent feature run - but after todays wack ass release I dont imagine you will lmao
Dang it’s wack??? I haven’t peeped yet, I was thinking I might rip the bandaid off for Cole fans and finally react to him (I ain’t a Cole fan lmao)
@@BSideRapReviews you should for the sake of good content because I'll know you'll break it down good and actually teach something to the Cole-miners lol
Jokes asde tho, its your average mid Cole release where he actually responds to Kendricks diss ... and hes being clowned as a result. That should given you an idea
