I think Fantano gets in the habit of hold certain artists to a very high expectation, and when they don’t reach it he ranks them against the ones that do, leaving them with a lower score. But I’m reality, they are much better albums than others he will give higher rankings to.

    NYC Tapwater to me is about woods returning from his tour after missing home and still feeling out of place, because of the slow creeping gentrification in his neighbourhood. That ties in so well with the story at the beginning with him attending a dinner party at a wealthy white neighbour's and turning into a bit of a monster figure. The thematic thorough-lines really take this album to another level.

    Awesome review Anthony. thank you for always reviewing Billy woods, because when it comes to underground hip hop he's only had like one miss in the last 5 years. Which was church but I even still liked half of that album. So as you can probably tell from reading I am a fan, and with that being said this album is just what I needed. Kenny Segal was the perfect producer for him to hook up with they fit each other like a glove. Plus pull the best out of each other in my opinion. Because good lord the beats on this thing nasty, the bars on this thing super nasty. Plus imo every feature did there thing and not one of them missed. All around awesome album.

    Didn’t really enjoy it as much as Hiding Places but that’s only really because Hiding Places is one of my favorite records of all time. Great project and i’m very happy the two did something together again. They just have a perfect chemistry between each other that only comes around once in a blue moon, like Doom and Madlib

    yo i think that crocodile tears bar is also in reference to the track of the same name off of "history will absolve me". (fucking incredible album btw) the album that was supposed to be his final but ended up jumpstarting the leg of his career were all familiar with now. it came out in 2012 roughly ten years from when he probably was recording the verses for this project.

    I dont know what it is about this album but Billy woods had never clicked with me until this one. Every previous album ive tried ive bounced off after a few tracks but this one hit different for some reason (I have zero idea why). I wanna go back and try his older output again.

    I've been listening to Maps repeatedly since it was released and it's crazy how some of the lyrics stick in my mind along with their unique flow. They don't necessarily rhyme but they do border on poetic in how billy strings them together:
    "Colorful packaging, pack 'em in
    Fly like gold on Africans
    Cover my tracks with backronyms
    If the track slaps, in the back, you can almost hear the black cackling"
    and also
    "God bless this sweet home, my beloved heart
    124 bluestone crouched on thin haunch
    While I get dome from the living
    Conch fritters crispin' in the kitchen
    Grew gaunt in prison
    My own warden, celly, and superintendent
    Flaunt flagrant disassociation
    Dissonant cadence
    Free political dissidents from they cages
    But leave 'em open
    We got lists of names, pages and pages
    Wouldn't want to waste the space the previous regime gave us
    This message is to inform you your service will be suspended
    For non-payment
    Midnight ravens
    Head in the loud clouds, both feet on the fuckin' pavement"

    Hey Anthony, i don't know if you were already planning to do it, but today the band Lovejoy just dropped their new album called "Wake Up & It's Over". I did listen to the album and i think that it's pretty good, so it would be cool for me to hear your opinion on it. I also think that some songs sound like the songs on the self-titled debute Weezer album, which is pretty cool.
