I already knew that this was not a style of hip-hop that I enjoy. So I went into this with low expectations and I think I can say my expectations were met lol.

It felt like Bodak Yellow was supposed to be one of the highlights of the album and I can see the appeal there but that one is not for me.

Two songs that I kind of liked were Be Careful and I Like It. Be Careful was a nice change of pace from the rest of the album and it had an interesting beat. And I Like It was just too much fun with the booming bass over the “I like it like that” sample.

Other than those two tracks and a few absurd lines from Cardi that made me crack a smile there wasn’t much else I liked from this album.

I really like clipping.'s There Existed an Addiction to Blood (2019) or Visions of Bodies Being Burned (2020). They definitely fit the horror theme however both include elements of noise and industrial music and they can be more challenging listens at times.

Before giving this a listen the only song I had heard from Naughty by Nature was O.P.P. I’m really glad I gave this a listen. This is right up my alley when it comes to old school hip hop. I love the constant onslaught of rhymes over the old school funky beats.

A lot of good songs here but I’ll highlight City of Ci-Lo and Klickow-Klickow specifically for the beats. Both have a more dissonant sound which I really like.

I wasn’t a fan of a few of the cheesier choruses. Especially Slang Bang. That one got a little annoying. But I get that their just trying to grab people’s attention with some of those.

Shout Out felt like it didn’t belong but I appreciate what they were trying to do there. I can’t complain too much about it since they still put out nearly an hour of rapping if you skip that one.

Overall a great album and I plan to check out more of their work now.

This is my first time experiencing this album and maybe the first time hearing ASAP Rocky. So my first impression is that it’s great production with okay rapping.

I see the appeal of ASAP Rocky’s bravado and confidence but it doesn’t really do anything for me. It’s good in small doses but not as a whole album.

I love the production. Question for the hiphopheads. Is this considered Chopped and Screwed? with the slowed down beats and slowed down vocal parts? It just makes for a really cool vibe.

I especially love the Clams Casino beats. A couple of my favorite tracks were Bass and Sandman which honestly sound similar on the back end but I knew I liked Clams Casino before going into this so I wasnt surprised to like a few of those tracks.

I also like Trilla. I think maybe because it wasn’t all Rocky and has a couple other ASAPs rapping on it. It was a nice change of pace from a rapping standpoint.

Well I’m not the main mod over there and I haven’t heard what we are doing for this week yet. If this idea is still going strong in a month or two a crossover would be a really cool way to promote both communities.

Next week’s is new to me! Not sure if I’ll like it but I’ll give it a shot.

By the way we stole your album club idea over in lemmy.world/c/alternativenation. First week went okay. Hopefully both of our communities continue to grow and we get more discussion in the future.

Sorry I’m a few days late to this thread. I don’t really consider myself a hiphophead. I’m more hip hop-curious but this album is one of the best hip hop albums I’ve heard.

For me the stand out track is Meat Grinder. His rhyme schemes throughout that song are just insane to me. So many references probably go over my head yet it still gives me chills. I can understand why some call him your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.
