Underrated 2019 Album
3 • 0
Review
The first half a dozen songs are mostly made up of solid east coast beats with fire rhyming. 'Numerical Slaughter' is a twist on Papoose's earlier 'Alphabetical Slaughter'. You can probably guess what the difference is from the titles. While some of the bars are debatable, '3rd Eye' features more of the depth of political content that Cube should've had on 'Everythangs Corrupt'. 'BAG' is another decent one where Biggie is sampled. From there it switches to pop-rap. 'The Golden Child' and 'Precious Jewel' are about Pap's newborn child and his wife, Remy Ma. The former is fairly sappy but I don't dislike it. My main issue with it is that Remy doesn't sound sentimental. Papoose does, Remy doesn't. Then 'Discipline' has links to Papoose's upbringing. To finish the album 'S.H.O.O.T.E.R.' and 'Mash the Gas on 'Em' take it back to the album's earlier sound but aren't as strong. As with his past projects, the rapping is mostly fire, he is a great rapper but on the whole the beats aren't noteworthy or unique. With producers like DJ Premier, E-Dubb, Pete Rock, Statik Selektah and Ron Browz providing beats the sound we've got here doesn't surprise. Beats: ★★☆ Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Underrated, Numerical Slaughter, 3rd Eye, God MC
