Naw. I just don't like reggae. That's why I couldn't get into nas distant relatives album.

It's not even reggae. Dancehall artisys are trill man. Max B, old school Busta. Biggie, Future all ran with a Jamaican vibe to their rhymes and hooks

WTF, did Art Barr write that review? So many densely packed and misused words...

Write in plain English for the love of Yahweh.

I respect your opinion, but I have to say that after reading that A- isn't exactly what I would've guessed you rated it. The article was well thought out, but I have to agree that the grammar was off on many parts. Overall I thought you conveyed your opinion well, although I don't know if I'll agree in the end. I gave this two listens while in a zombie mind state 3/4 asleep and it was strange as fukk to me. I'm getting a better grasp on my fully awake half album listen so far and will say I don't think it's terrible, but I'll be damned if it doesn't seem all over the place at times. Rick Rubin actually toned it DOWN and simplified it some? I don't even want to imagine what the hell it sounded like before his influence. And I will say you're 100% right about him not being a wordsmith as some of the lyrics are pretty bad with a few expected cringeworthy Kanye moments where he overemphasizes a lyric he thought was clever that comes off corny as hell.

There's no way you can give this album a good review if you grade him as a rapper. Giving it an A- is definitely a declaration of this being considered something very far from a good rap album, and for me to get any enjoyment out of it I definitely have to view it the same way.

On Site is probably the worst track on the album

I don't see why it's getting "A's" or 90% scores.

Out of the 10 songs, there are like 2 that are hard for me to listen too. I would say there are like 7 good tracks but give or take 3 of them that if I never heard in my life again that would be fine with me.

6.5 to 7 out of 10 is the highest score I would give it. 8/10 is the highest I can respect without giving the reviewer the....

The media attention fell in line with the no promo/no media thing. They basically played into his hands. That's just how I thought it up though :ld:

Syntax & grammar is trivial for the most part in this situation anyway, it's all about the craft

if you want to be taken serious as a reviewer and a writer you need to throw that attitude in the bushes.

I want to be taken serious, but it's not like it was a review I spent a lot of time on or anything :ld: Just something I wrote up for fun

perception is reality, if you are presenting this like its a professional review with ratings "a-" etc than people are going to perceived it like its something you drew up in the same vein as pitchfork/rollingstone etc

i am not gonna give my opinion on the album because i havent heard it and dont plan on hearing it, but you have to spell check and make sure everything stacks up before you put something like this out there. otherwise it takes away from the subject itself.
