Typical reactions from the crew when they review a bad album: FEEFO: "I can't fuck with this album, I just can't... This.. this shit just don't bump in the whip, man- I just can't fuck with this, man, I just can't..." BEEZY: "This was just some... terrible shit! I will not listen to this... ever again! I'm fucking mad!" KEN: "(sighs)" (....) "this... nah, man." MYKE: "This album. was fucking. HORRENDOUS." (MODEST MEDIA: "Don't you fuck with the first track?") MYKE: "No!"
i used to think 808s was some bullshit until i took another listen and focused on the drums and "catchiness while still sadness" factor. He actually pulled that album off well.
A recent example.. Magna Carta.. Holy Grail. The commercials in promotion for the album made it seem like Jay was cooking up a real focused piece of work. Turns out it was just some lazy lyricism with flavor of the month production all over.
I'm gonna say that Recovery was the biggest Hip-Hop album letdown for me. I'm glad Em was able to start cleaning up his life, but I thought it made for some really corny songs. I liked maybe 2 of the tracks on the album, but in comparison to the rest of his albums, that made it a big disappointment for me.
Damn ,recovery is my favourite em album ,the mmlp2 is my second favourite em album but I feel encore was a let down and relapse was disappointing,but hey,to each his opinion
Relapse is one of the worst hiphop albums of all time, but it wasn't really dissapointing. I mean it was dissapointing that it came from Em' but after hearing the singles you should have known.
gammakrush905 When the last two albums were Hell On Earth and Infamous yeah it's disappointing especially because of the fact it took 3 year to release after hell on earth and it was when Mobb Deep started to shift towards a commercial sound. Yeah Infamy is a worse album but by that time the Mobb had already fallen off in my eyes.
Phvrvoh Phonk "Murda Muzik" doesn't sound commercial tho. They were still on their game, but for the last time. After Prodigy's solo record (which also was pretty good), that's when the group stopped making an effort.
for me the most recent let down would be ESGN by Gibbs. As far as all time, obviously i wasn't around for all of it but from my understanding people were disappointed in It Was Written when it came out. We've since turned around on it but i can imagine the disappointment after illmatic
jjmaster0922 It was just to put his crew on, he'll come back with more good shit, like Common and his first album, it wasnt that good be he came back with Ressurection
***** Well, personally I liked it (not loved it) but I believe it's because when an artist (in any music) ages and has been around for about 10+ years, you shouldn't expect to much.
Yo Feefo brought up Charles Hamilton tho. Good looks. Surprised someone remembered him. I think the sonic thing was a little deeper than a gimmick. Still listening to his sh*t. Gotta remember him kinda rap battling Kendrick back in the day too. Good times.
Onyx - All We Got Iz Us, Talib Kweli - Beautiful Struggle, Mobb Deep - Infamy, Common - Electric Circus, Mos Def - Tru3 Magic, Nas - Nastradamus, Black Sheep - Non Fiction, Jay Z- Blueprint 2, Ice Cube - War & Peace, Boot Camp Click - For The People, Akinyele - Aktapus, The Roots - Tipping Point
Slaughterhouse - Welcome to our House Nas - Nastradamus Hopsin - Knock Madness By the way, Rick Ross didn't kill 50 Cent's career. If you can recall, 50 ruined his credibility as a drug kingpin/street rapper by interviewing his baby mother who gave a whole lot on him being a CO, not paying child support, having rented jewelry, etc. He then published her story about it all in a book entitled "Tia's Diary Deeper Than Rap: Clarity, Truth, and Exposure", just like Ross's 3rd album title. What makes popularity determine what rapper won a battle? Besides, most hip-hop fans are fake and fickle within mainstream. They only care about what's hot or popular. If there is anyone who slaughtered Ross lyrically, it wasn't 50 Cent but it was Lloyd Banks on a diss track called "Officer Down". Now who won?
Food and Liquor 2 was a bigger disappointment than Lasers to me. Going into Lasers I knew it was going to be poppy fluff but it still had some quality songs. I honestly felt tricked once I listened to FL2 because it was so boring and Lupe was rapping at the same tone the whole album. And I actually liked the singles! I just listened to Heart Donor start to finish for the first time a month ago. I agree with C-Town from the review that people wouldn't like FL2 if Lasers never came out. I haven't listened to any of the stuff from his new album just to not get too hyped up.
I think the Most Disappointing albums come from those who have so much Hype from just coming into, or coming back to the game. Meek Mill's Dreams & Nightmares, Jay-Z's Kingdom Come, and Lupe's Lasers are easy dissapointments for me
Great video guys! Love your stuff! Keep up the great work! In terms of disappointing albums recently, Magna Carta Holy Grail was disappointing and Pharoahe Monch's "Desire" album back in 2007 was massively disappointing too. Or what about DMX's latest album? Lots of disappointing shit.
Knock Madness was pretty disappointing. I mean Hop worked on that album forever and it just felt mediocre. Every song felt the same. Overall weak message. I like Hopsin a lot and I hope he puts out something great in the near future.
After hearing "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves," I was really excited for "Yeezus" But when reviews came out saying it was pretty bad, I just left it alone. So I was gonna consider it a disappointment here, but realized I can't honestly say that if I've never heard it myself. So I listened to it and I actually really like how it sounds. I haven't really listened to the lyrics, yet, but I can't say this is a bad album. I like it.
How about "Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album" was fucking disappointing. Most fans of the original Food & Liquor did not see that album as a legitimate sequel to the first. And it had A LOT of hype.
Encore has to be biggest disappointment in hip-hop, but I still think it's brilliant that it's called Encore. Like Em knew he can't make a good album, but the label and fans didn't want him to quit (remember how he had that Curtain Close skit on Eminem Show like he' was about to Say Goodbye to Hollywood, pun intended). I'm not defending it, it's still wack but I think it's still amazing that even at that Encore time, he was still 110% self-aware.
Four obvious ones: Canibus - Can-I-Bus. So much promise leading up to this and then a complete letdown. Souls of Mischief - Their 2nd album wasn't even in the same league as their first. Kurupt - Kuruption - All the f-ing spitting capacity in the world spread over a double album of themes from both coasts and he didn't do sh*t with either one aside from that C-Walk track on the WC disk. Ras Kass- Soul on Ice - To be fair, I like this album. And, if you give it time, it grows on you and you can appreciate how brilliant his wordplay is. But, ETC should have been a single, and the Diamond D remix of the title track should have been on the album. He just needed a few more head-nod joints and this shit would have rung out on both coasts.
@@chris45627 yet the Carnival was a masterpiece? A lot of different producers would've fucked with Canibitch if he reached out. Unless...he was "blackballed " by uncle L! Lol
From 2013: Hopsin's Knock Madness and Kanye West's Yeezus. I still liked Yeezus, but it comes nowhere near the rest of his career. Biggest disappointment of all time: Tyler, the Creator's Goblin. So much hype up to that album, Yonkers was a great song, Bastard was a great album, then we got Goblin. At least he redeemed himself on Wolf.
I would probably put Magna Carta on there and I actually like the album. It was a good album...but in this instance "good" just wasn't good enough. With the amount of buzz that it got from that commercial during the finals and the unprecedented marketing plan, Jay had a chance to make this another classic and really be remembered for something. Instead we just got a good album.
Agree. But Kingdom Come was the biggest letdown coming off the black album, remember Jay had come back from retirement & was doing very few features, so all the hype, total let down.
Born Sinner was a huge disappointment easily. He starts the album saying it's gonna be darker and going off on an awesome song (Villuminati) and afterwards proceeds to rap the exact same shit he's been rapping for years.
I do agree born sinner was to conservative. If every track had been like Villuminati, crooked smile, let nas down, power trip and born sinner the album would have been incredible a sheer masterpiece. But I still love cole and the album was solid, i hope his next one blows born sinner out of the water.
Myke, I know that you brought up CanOx follow up EP being disappointing which was for me too. Definitely something to check out though The Bicameral Vein (The Cold Vein Remixed) by 3:33. Its the shit.
I loved lasers wtf its one of my favorite albums, it was actually having something to say political was amazing. Words i never said will always be a classic for me
I'd have to agree with another poster on Common's everything after Finding Forever. Outkast's Idlewild. Goodie Mob's Age Against the Machine. Lupe's Lasers is an absolutely, MAJOR disappointment haha. Tical 0: The Prequel from Method Man. Actually I feel there's a few other solo WuTang projects on there, can't name em off top. Nas' I Am and Nastradamus IMHO..ALSO him changing the name of his album to "N", instead of originally intended. Can't think of any more right now. Spur of the moment comment. Good vid as usual fellas.
Just some off the top of my head: Eminem- Encore, Relapse, T.I.- T.I. Vs. T.I.P., Kid Cudi- Indicud, Lupe Fiasco- Lasers, Hopsin- Knock Madness, Jay Z- Kingdom Come, Nas- I Am, Streets Disciple, Hip Hop Is Dead, Busta Rhymes- Anarchy, LL Cool J- Phenomenon, OutKast- Idlewild, Common- Universal Mind Control, Fabolous- From Nothin To Somethin, Game- LAX Files, Ludacris- Theatre Of The Mind, Big Boi- Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors
Jay-Z's Kingdom Come is for one of the most disappointing rap albums of all time for me. At the time it was all this hype about Jay coming out of retirement for this and everybody was hyped. And then it dropped I remember saying I wasted my time. Luckily he came back and did American Gangster.
Beezy was on point with "Paid the cost to be the boss" remember when that shit came out. i bought the album, bumped it, gave it to my friend and told him not to bring it back! Album was gaaarrbage! -_-
@Andrew Woodrup. It has nothing to do with "hating on". It has to do with crafting an album as a whole. Which is a flaw of Em. Actually, the norm is placing him on top 5 ever. Although Em is obviously a skilled a rapper, we are talking albums. You can spit & write lines & lines & lines but an inconsistent album or string of consistently inconsistent albums should be a serious concern. It's like Nas. Clearly Nas can rap, one of hip-hop's greatest story tellers however, he makes inconsistent lps.
J Cole : Born Sinner Eminem : Encore & Recovery Jay Z : Kingdom Come MF Doom & Bishop Nehru : Nehruviandoom Lil Wayne : Tha Carter 4 Ab Soul : These Days Tyler The Creator : CHERRYBOMB ( This is coming from a big Tyler fan) 50 Cent : Curtis Madlib, MED, BLU : Bad Neighbor (Came out just last week and already a disappointment)
I was gonna argue with you but I can't lol ... bishop neruh isn't good enough to be with doom to me and j.cole only had a few on to remember ....WATTBA is one and drakes albums have been and newest one 6God will be all hype but be trash REMEMBER THIS COMMENT lol only a few track...also kanye has changed so his will be bad too sorry to say
Just the first thing that comes to mind for me: the first time I heard Tech N9ne was on a cypher (with Kendrick Lamar, Big KRIT, MGK, BOB) and I thought he had some really interesting delivery so I was excited to hear one of his albums and checked out 'Something Else'. Yeah... left me wishing that I had listened to something else.
Feefo mentioning charles hamilton made this video for me. Major!!!! props to Feef for mentioning pink lavalamp, shit is a classic album/mixtape bar none.
I've watched this video like 5 times over the years. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with Cube's War & Peace lol. Is it The Predator or Death Certificate? No. Shit is still dope though.
You guys talked about Charles Hamilton. One dream for the channel is done. Interesting to see that Feefo liked him. Didn't expect that. He made 8 great projects though . I get what Myke has to say because certain things that he did over shadowed the music. That being said. I don't know how much of a disappointment he is considering the work we did get
Typical reactions from the crew when they review a bad album:
FEEFO: "I can't fuck with this album, I just can't... This.. this shit just don't bump in the whip, man- I just can't fuck with this, man, I just can't..."
BEEZY: "This was just some... terrible shit! I will not listen to this... ever again! I'm fucking mad!"
KEN: "(sighs)" (....) "this... nah, man."
MYKE: "This album. was fucking. HORRENDOUS."
(MODEST MEDIA: "Don't you fuck with the first track?")
MYKE: "No!"
***** LMFAOO
Lol
You on pint
+Nic214E so damn true
Nic214E lol
did feefo ever know what to expect?
Couldn’t stop laughing at the beginning cuz read your comment 1st and he literally says it at least 4-5x in less than 2 mins
i used to think 808s was some bullshit until i took another listen and focused on the drums and "catchiness while still sadness" factor. He actually pulled that album off well.
The drums are the core of the album for me. I'll listen to it every couple months and I get caught up drumming along on my desk every time.
These guys are so interesting, cool, knowledgeable and fun to listen to.
slimjimihendrix Hell, yes.
A recent example.. Magna Carta.. Holy Grail. The commercials in promotion for the album made it seem like Jay was cooking up a real focused piece of work. Turns out it was just some lazy lyricism with flavor of the month production all over.
Exactly!!
Facts
That production was fire
@@jordanbikes2437 the raps and production on manga carter were amazing I love that record
Fam thats like a decade old💀
How has no one said The Firm album ? Nas and Dre on the same album shoulda been amazing.
I strongly disagree that you guys think Life Is Good by Nas was a letdown, but to each his own. Can't wait for more videos!
Speedin Bullet to Heaven
Yeah that was bad. But at least we got KSG
oh dear god that was awful
Gotta do a revisit of this one.
The biggest disappointment in hip hop history would have to be the debut record from Canibus
He had a debut??
planet zero is a conceptual banger, i honor u is a brilliant story, second round KO is a solid diss, its not as big a disappointment as nastradamus
@@julianlopez4917 didn't know Nastrodomos was Nas' Escobar debut? News to me.
PS....never compare the careers..
Dwayne Louis nah actually It Was Written was the first time he introduced Nas Escobar... go check
@@alejandromarmolejo13 actually the first time the name nas escobar was used was on the infamous by mobb deep
Jay-Z - The Blueprint 2 , Ice Cube - War & Peace, Nas - Nastradamus, Cam'ron - Crime Pays, Snoop Dogg - Tha Doggfather
Niall Smith Crime Pays was decent
Niall Smith Lupe - Lasers
Realnigga Turner so true F&L & The Cool are some of my Favourite albums
Niall Smith Ras Kass 2nd album was a lil of a letdown .... still a great album 8/10 tho... soul on ice was a hard album to follow 😶
Niall Smith nae Dogg father is dope
I'm gonna say that Recovery was the biggest Hip-Hop album letdown for me. I'm glad Em was able to start cleaning up his life, but I thought it made for some really corny songs. I liked maybe 2 of the tracks on the album, but in comparison to the rest of his albums, that made it a big disappointment for me.
What about encore tho
Damn ,recovery is my favourite em album ,the mmlp2 is my second favourite em album but I feel encore was a let down and relapse was disappointing,but hey,to each his opinion
TheLastBarbedWire no
Revival was the biggest letdown
The album is literally the musical embodiment of a sponsor from AA
Sophie is cute as hell
Edward Polenzani That nose
i agree someone on here said some shit about her nose but I think shes very pretty
Edward Polenzani thirsty
S Mac fuck you
This is the first time I've noticed Feefo without a hat on and with a nice shirt on, he looks smart.
🤣
Clipse - Til The Casket Drops
Wu Tang - 8 Diagrams
Nas - Iam/Nastradamus
Eminem - Relapse
Mobb Deep - Murda Muzik
eminem relapse was not a bad album it was a great album but the accent was pretty stupid
Relapse is one of the worst hiphop albums of all time, but it wasn't really dissapointing. I mean it was dissapointing that it came from Em' but after hearing the singles you should have known.
Murda Muzik disappointing? Have you not heard "Infamy"?
gammakrush905 When the last two albums were Hell On Earth and Infamous yeah it's disappointing especially because of the fact it took 3 year to release after hell on earth and it was when Mobb Deep started to shift towards a commercial sound. Yeah Infamy is a worse album but by that time the Mobb had already fallen off in my eyes.
Phvrvoh Phonk "Murda Muzik" doesn't sound commercial tho. They were still on their game, but for the last time. After Prodigy's solo record (which also was pretty good), that's when the group stopped making an effort.
if Eminem never got addicted to drugs encore woulda been another classic
I see Kinge is rocking that Common bald head and goatee lool. Solid lol
"Nobody names a rapper who just does chick singles the *GOAT"
Drake been famous for 5 years
Event 2 EASILY for me. Deltron 3030 blew me away when I first heard it. Event 2 put me to sleep.
Y'all gotta drop a video about DMX vs Zimmerman, get on that!
Every album from Common since Finding Forever for me
Word is bond
I agree with myke on Encore , it just was a huge let down
for me the most recent let down would be ESGN by Gibbs. As far as all time, obviously i wasn't around for all of it but from my understanding people were disappointed in It Was Written when it came out. We've since turned around on it but i can imagine the disappointment after illmatic
ESGN was huge disappointment as a huge Gibbs fan... Cocaine Pinatas will resurrect GG.
RIGHT? baby faced killa was an ill sound for a gangster rapper esgn was boring and typical.
Whaaat??, you know he did that album with the intention to put his crew on right??, it wasnt no "go all out gangsta gibbs" type shit
the features on ESGN was weak
jjmaster0922 It was just to put his crew on, he'll come back with more good shit, like Common and his first album, it wasnt that good be he came back with Ressurection
CHERRY BOMB
UndahDahg ur buggggginnn
Hopsin's "Knock Madness" so much hype for a mediocre album.
***** Well, personally I liked it (not loved it) but I believe it's because when an artist (in any music) ages and has been around for about 10+ years, you shouldn't expect to much.
Couldn't quite hear it, what's the EP Mike is naming at 8:45?
Yo Feefo brought up Charles Hamilton tho. Good looks. Surprised someone remembered him. I think the sonic thing was a little deeper than a gimmick. Still listening to his sh*t. Gotta remember him kinda rap battling Kendrick back in the day too. Good times.
I'm mad late on this but what's the name of the instrumental that cuts on at 0:11 ?
Onyx - All We Got Iz Us, Talib Kweli - Beautiful Struggle, Mobb Deep - Infamy, Common - Electric Circus, Mos Def - Tru3 Magic, Nas - Nastradamus, Black Sheep - Non Fiction, Jay Z- Blueprint 2, Ice Cube - War & Peace, Boot Camp Click - For The People, Akinyele - Aktapus, The Roots - Tipping Point
Slaughterhouse - Welcome to our House
Nas - Nastradamus
Hopsin - Knock Madness
By the way, Rick Ross didn't kill 50 Cent's career. If you can recall, 50 ruined his credibility as a drug kingpin/street rapper by interviewing his baby mother who gave a whole lot on him being a CO, not paying child support, having rented jewelry, etc. He then published her story about it all in a book entitled "Tia's Diary Deeper Than Rap: Clarity, Truth, and Exposure", just like Ross's 3rd album title. What makes popularity determine what rapper won a battle? Besides, most hip-hop fans are fake and fickle within mainstream. They only care about what's hot or popular.

The Firm's album definitely. Prodigy HNIC 2. Cage's new album. Jay-Z's Kingdom Come
HeathenDeluxe kingdom come was trashhhhh
I think the Most Disappointing albums come from those who have so much Hype from just coming into, or coming back to the game. Meek Mill's Dreams & Nightmares, Jay-Z's Kingdom Come, and Lupe's Lasers are easy dissapointments for me
views from the trash can
Halalisani Zulu I'm dead
It was a great album
what 50 cent mixtape Myke talkin about at 12:27 besides War Angel? Is he saying "streets immortal?"
16:24 - 17:05 Myke sendin Beezy to sleep man ahahahhahaha
Yup 🤣
great video topic! do best debut album next!
Here's my personal list:
Tha Carter IV
Magna Carta Holy Grail
Lasers
Cole World: The Sideline Story
Recovery
Great video guys! Love your stuff! Keep up the great work! In terms of disappointing albums recently, Magna Carta Holy Grail was disappointing and Pharoahe Monch's "Desire" album back in 2007 was massively disappointing too. Or what about DMX's latest album? Lots of disappointing shit.
go 720p to fix black screen
This convo could go on for weeks
Knock Madness was pretty disappointing. I mean Hop worked on that album forever and it just felt mediocre. Every song felt the same. Overall weak message. I like Hopsin a lot and I hope he puts out something great in the near future.
Already it’s been 5 years what do you think of Hopsins last few albums?
BounciestBen trash

For some reason I knew beezy was going to say Beats, Rhymes and Life

You don't remember the punch?????
Honestly.. who doesn't remember that :D
Slaughterhouse albums... still waiting on that dope project from them
so y'all liked 'kingdom come' from jay... shit was beyond trash
Nobody mentioned Jay-Z's not-so-triumphant return from retirement, Kingdom Come.
I died at the No Limit reference
Common's debut album and Nas' Nastradamus are ones that i can remember off the top of my head
Four obvious ones:
Canibus - Can-I-Bus. So much promise leading up to this and then a complete letdown.
Souls of Mischief - Their 2nd album wasn't even in the same league as their first.
Kurupt - Kuruption - All the f-ing spitting capacity in the world spread over a double album of themes from both coasts and he didn't do sh*t with either one aside from that C-Walk track on the WC disk.
Ras Kass- Soul on Ice - To be fair, I like this album. And, if you give it time, it grows on you and you can appreciate how brilliant his wordplay is. But, ETC should have been a single, and the Diamond D remix of the title track should have been on the album. He just needed a few more head-nod joints and this shit would have rung out on both coasts.
always look forward to the vids, props
OK SO NOW ITS TIME TO COMEBACK AND DO THE AFTER-THOUGHT VERSION OF THIS ONE AND MENTION THE ONES YOU GUYS COULDNT THINK OF
Encore was a let down, so was Gambino's Royalty, and Magna Carta Holy Grail, which is easily Jay-Z's worst album
Royalty wasn't that bad just different
The Canibus debut album
very true
I liked that album....I guess I'm the only one.
Good one.
@@chris45627 yet the Carnival was a masterpiece? A lot of different producers would've fucked with Canibitch if he reached out. Unless...he was "blackballed " by uncle L! Lol
Lupes Lasers was a great album, did not disappoint me.
My disappointments were Holy Grail, Kingdom Come, BluePrint 3
From 2013: Hopsin's Knock Madness and Kanye West's Yeezus. I still liked Yeezus, but it comes nowhere near the rest of his career. Biggest disappointment of all time: Tyler, the Creator's Goblin. So much hype up to that album, Yonkers was a great song, Bastard was a great album, then we got Goblin. At least he redeemed himself on Wolf.

Agree. But Kingdom Come was the biggest letdown coming off the black album, remember Jay had come back from retirement & was doing very few features, so all the hype, total let down.
Oh yeah that's also up there. It was also his largest first week sales. Shows how much hype that album got.
***** this guy
Born Sinner was a huge disappointment easily. He starts the album saying it's gonna be darker and going off on an awesome song (Villuminati) and afterwards proceeds to rap the exact same shit he's been rapping for years.

But I still love cole and the album was solid, i hope his next one blows born sinner out of the water.
Born Sinner is a decent album. It had it's high points and then most of it was average/not worth going back to.
Some recent let downs (my opinion) were:
Wolf
Doris
Marshall Mathers LP 2
Knock Madness
just to name a few.
You really thought Wolf was a disappointment? I felt like it was an improvement from Goblin.
***** Wow idk why I was so against those albums, I like both Doris and Wolf a shit ton now hahaha, I guess my taste changed a lot over the last year.
you doing the new exile tape?
Myke, I know that you brought up CanOx follow up EP being disappointing which was for me too. Definitely something to check out though The Bicameral Vein (The Cold Vein Remixed) by 3:33. Its the shit.
I loved lasers wtf its one of my favorite albums, it was actually having something to say political was amazing. Words i never said will always be a classic for me
whom Mike said at 8 : 45 ??
I'd have to agree with another poster on Common's everything after Finding Forever. Outkast's Idlewild. Goodie Mob's Age Against the Machine. Lupe's Lasers is an absolutely, MAJOR disappointment haha. Tical 0: The Prequel from Method Man. Actually I feel there's a few other solo WuTang projects on there, can't name em off top. Nas' I Am and Nastradamus IMHO..ALSO him changing the name of his album to "N", instead of originally intended. Can't think of any more right now. Spur of the moment comment.

Just some off the top of my head:
Eminem- Encore, Relapse, T.I.- T.I. Vs. T.I.P., Kid Cudi- Indicud, Lupe Fiasco- Lasers, Hopsin- Knock Madness, Jay Z- Kingdom Come, Nas- I Am, Streets Disciple, Hip Hop Is Dead, Busta Rhymes- Anarchy, LL Cool J- Phenomenon, OutKast- Idlewild, Common- Universal Mind Control, Fabolous- From Nothin To Somethin, Game- LAX Files, Ludacris- Theatre Of The Mind, Big Boi- Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors
Method Man Tical Q The Prequel.
Jay-Z's Kingdom Come is for one of the most disappointing rap albums of all time for me. At the time it was all this hype about Jay coming out of retirement for this and everybody was hyped. And then it dropped I remember saying I wasted my time. Luckily he came back and did American Gangster.
Food & Liquor II by Lupe Fiasco
please review cilvia demo - isaiah rashad
you guys should do a most underrated albums of all time
Thank you for mentioned Charles Hamilton because I never heard of him and I listened to The Pink LavaLamp mixtape and I like it
Carter IV, Lasers, Nastradamus, The Massacre
The Massacre was fire
Beezy was on point with "Paid the cost to be the boss" remember when that shit came out. i bought the album, bumped it, gave it to my friend and told him not to bring it back! Album was gaaarrbage! -_-
I'm surprised no one mentioned Kingdom Come, especially after they picked out Jay's name. That was supposed to be his comeback album.
Jay would even say that album wasn't good
All of commons albums after Be
Hahaha so true
What album was he referring to at 8:45
+Tre'Von Raye The great album he's talking about is called The Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox. The EP he's talking about is Gotham.
I didn't think C town liked 50 like that haha. Charles Hamilton was cool to me. I still play "Penthouse elevator" and "Jeezy Hamilton"
Best AskDEHH in awhile. Keep it up guys
who is Myke talking about at 8:45 ?
Cannibal Ox kingraj333
Goblin was a huge let down for me.
what about Q-Tip solo records?
I challenge Myke to listen to Encore again and see if its one of those albums that got better with time because to me it did lol i mean honestly
@Andrew Woodrup.
It has nothing to do with "hating on". It has to do with crafting an album as a whole. Which is a flaw of Em. Actually, the norm is placing him on top 5 ever. Although Em is obviously a skilled a rapper, we are talking albums. You can spit & write lines & lines & lines but an inconsistent album or string of consistently inconsistent albums should be a serious concern. It's like Nas. Clearly Nas can rap, one of hip-hop's greatest story tellers however, he makes inconsistent lps.
Checkout this artist from DC. His project's called "I AM DA DISTRICT" by, Debo Wayne. You can find it via ITunes, Amazon music or, Google play.
Blueprint 2
L, that was better than God's son
Ben I love that album.
J Cole : Born Sinner
Eminem : Encore & Recovery
Jay Z : Kingdom Come
MF Doom & Bishop Nehru : Nehruviandoom
Lil Wayne : Tha Carter 4
Ab Soul : These Days
Tyler The Creator : CHERRYBOMB ( This is coming from a big Tyler fan)
50 Cent : Curtis
Madlib, MED, BLU : Bad Neighbor (Came out just last week and already a disappointment)
+upshawjohn94 I think Soul was under pressure with all the attention TDE was getting. Not a bad album but a disappointment for sure.
I was gonna argue with you but I can't lol ... bishop neruh isn't good enough to be with doom to me and j.cole only had a few on to remember ....WATTBA is one and drakes albums have been and newest one 6God will be all hype but be trash REMEMBER THIS COMMENT lol only a few track...also kanye has changed so his will be bad too sorry to say
Yeah man I wish DOOM collabed with Earl Sweatshirt or Joey bada$$.. Bishop nehru is good, but these 2 are just on whole other level in my opinion.
I'd trade encore and recovery with mmlp2 and relapse. but to each is own
+pat mason get the fuck out
LMAO Beezy is knocked at the end of the video! Long night Bruh!
Any *Souls Of Mischief* album after *"Focus*"
"Depart From Me" by Cage is definitely up there for me.
Just the first thing that comes to mind for me: the first time I heard Tech N9ne was on a cypher (with Kendrick Lamar, Big KRIT, MGK, BOB) and I thought he had some really interesting delivery so I was excited to hear one of his albums and checked out 'Something Else'. Yeah... left me wishing that I had listened to something else.
Feefo mentioning charles hamilton made this video for me.
Major!!!! props to Feef for mentioning pink lavalamp, shit is a classic album/mixtape bar none.
I've watched this video like 5 times over the years. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with Cube's War & Peace lol. Is it The Predator or Death Certificate? No. Shit is still dope though.
You guys talked about Charles Hamilton. One dream for the channel is done. Interesting to see that Feefo liked him. Didn't expect that. He made 8 great projects though . I get what Myke has to say because certain things that he did over shadowed the music. That being said. I don't know how much of a disappointment he is considering the work we did get
ESGN from freddie gibbs was a huge disappointment
why didnt you guys review Deltron 3030 event 2 after Pt1 being so dammmmn good. It was somewhat a let down after 3030 but still decent
Relapse, MMLP2 & Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded are the first to come to mind.
