black on both sides review

<p style="text-align: center">black on both sides by most definitely</p><p style="text-align: center">9/10</p><p style="text-align: center">favorite tracks: hip hop, love, ms. fat booty, speed law, do it now, umi says, know that, brooklyn, mr. nlgga, mathematics</p><p style="text-align: center">worst track (if I had to choose): habitat</p><p>album cover is literally just the same face I'd give bro when I take his airpods and hear the words 'shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan' playing (based on a true story lmao)</p><p>Anyways, absolute classic rap album. All bangers, and if not one of the best debut albums of all time. I don't know much of the history behind this album, so I won't do a run-down on the context behind this project.</p><p>Every song on this album has distinct features and constant stand-out lyrics that it’s hard not to be super impressed. Considering how long ago this was released, this guy still has lyrical excellence that still stands out to me today. Writing and flow is the highlight of this album hands down, I'd give it a 10/10, literally every song has a great vocal performance. Every one of his verses that comes out of his mouth is pregnant with meaning (pause). I'd consider him one of the best lyricist of all time in hip hop, and I think he proves it with this album.</p><p>The production on this album is very creative and impressive throughout the whole thing, with samples, beats, melodies and catchy hooks that keeps you engaged the whole time. There are jazz influences, soul influences, funk influences, even some rock n roll in there in the entire soundscape, and while staying consistent and concise.</p><p>Literally almost everything works together well in this album, energy and vibe with this album is insane. There are 1 or 2 underwhelming songs on here, being habitat and climb, but they're still good nonetheless. All in all, this project is definitely an acquired taste, but you'll love it when you come around to it.</p>
