kotms vol.2 review

<p style="text-align: center">king of the mischievous south by stephen curry</p><p style="text-align: center">8/10</p><p style="text-align: center">favorite tracks: ultra shxt, hot one, black flag freestyle, g'z up, sked, cole pimp, hit the floor</p><p style="text-align: center">worst track: hoodlumz</p><p>First, i'd like to point out this is one of his most underdeveloped albums when it comes to his pen work. He doesn't say dumb stuff 100% of the time, it just pales in comparison to his earlier work. Even in black flag freestyle, he said he was aware of his stylistic change, and that he dumbed down his wordplay on purpose. I'm guessing it's to fit this record's volatile and rough-edged vibe, but i feel like he could have tried a little harder to show off his lyricism with himself and his features.</p><p>Like the album name suggests, this is all about south side hip-hop. Denzel has always been one of the most vibe-y rappers of this generation. He is also one of the most consistent artists when it comes to his work ethic, and I really appreciate the precision of detail in his vision, and he doesn't falter with this work. It sounds like denzel is trying to mimic the sound of a vintage south side classic with loud and intense elements mixed into this project.</p><p>I like all the skits with kingpin skinny pimp, he does a really great job acting as basically a narrator to this album, and it's pretty fitting that a legend of memphis rap is chosen here. worthwhile addition, and he does a great job contributing to the entire aesthetic of the record.</p><p>Yes, there are some wasted features on here that kinda ruin some songs here. Notable bad ones imo are maxo kream, armani white, and playthatboizay. Although I like how Denzel put them in here for attention to detail, as maxo and playthatboizay are south side artists, the guests are kind of underwhelming in practice.</p><p>Overall, he focused more on the beats and energy of the project more than his vocals and wordplay. The opposite would be melt my eyez see your future, yet they're both great in their own strengths.</p><p>(why are you reading an album review on an ai chat site? tf wrong with you)</p>
