Isaiah Rashad - The House Is Burning (Discussion Thread)

[dora_da_destroyer]

Played this at the gym so I don’t know what song is what yet, but I like it. There was a boring track somewhere near the end that I wasn’t fukking with, everything else was nice. Gonna run it back some more over the weekend

This album lived up to the hype for me, I'm really happy to hear that. I only listened thru once but my standouts are Claymore and What u Sed (Iamdochii FLOATED on that one), Don't shoot, HB2U and Darkseid. I need to listen more to measure how it lines up with his discography but its a quality album.

Got damn this production is straight mood setting bruh

This whole album is gonna be my summertime vibe. I'm gonna be on a patio with some drinks watching the sunset to this shyt.

 

[aceboon]

these are barely songs

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

After a full listen, I'm really fukking with this album

Zay delivered after all these years

Favorite songs are darkseid, score, Chad, claymore, hb2u, true story, don't shoot, rip young, and all herb

Plus I already fukked with all the singles, although from the garden is still my least favorite on the album

I know imma be vibing with this for a good while, but I can't wait to really analyze everything with further listens

I know some of the remarks about the album would be weird. But I actually really like the album and I’ve run it back a few times before coming in here.

 

[Mindfield333]

This album really is made for the coffee shop

this nikka with the most basic nursery rhymes over you typical lounge beats

I think the album is good but here’s some other Tennessee rappers that have a vibe similar to early zay

That chick indongo cat is nice ...... definitely sounds Zay inspired.

Probably not honestly. Tennessee has a long history of pretty good rappers. I’d say Starlito was probably more of an influence since they’re from Nashville.

If you only listened to the singles, you would think this is bad. But as a project flows, the songs sound better & the transitions are nice.

Yikes Headshots and Wat u sed are elite tracks. Lay Wit Ya is a banger too good gym track.

“maybe I’m buggin out, maybe I’m on a spaceship”

I think y'all are trippin with the ST slander. That shyt had so many classics. 4 da Sqaw, free lunch, Wat's Wrong, Stuck in the mud, Park, Titty and Dolla, Brenda, Find a Topic. Only maybe 3 tracks I wasn't feeling.


Zay is 3 for 3 as far as I'm concerned

dudes exaggerate about slur druggy rhymes but you can tell their just generalizing. Acting like songs like Brenda, Wats Wrong, Free Lunch, Tiity and Dollar, and Park he wasn’t rapping on. I agree it’s not lyrically on CD level but still dope and has its lyrical moments

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

People are already remaking darkseid with drums. shyt slaps so much harder. Woulda also added some bass though. But man I really wish Zay updates the shyt with some drums. Would EASILY be my favorite track off the album. I can vibe out to this shyt all day.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Will listen more this weekend. First listen I'm kind of indifferent. Production is amazing but Rashad is just so slurred and leaned out...similar to the last album which I wasn't feeling overall. Maybe Cilvia was just a flash in the pan. This def has some great moments but overall it just bleeds together and not in a good way.

Every single feature sounds better on the track than him. Not just in terms of rapping...his enunciation is so off you can't even say it's just dirty south shyt.

RIP Young tho whew

 

[Metal Face]

This dude's delivery is beyond WOAT

Also there's not a single beat on here that's as dope as "4r Da Sqauw"

Breh music is subjective but this album is not bad
