M.I.A.'s sound has never been my cup of tea. I love a few of her songs, but generally many have been skips. '100% Sustainable' and 'Puththi' are examples of skips on this album and it is again a mixed bag. I do though enjoy the songs with more of a conventional sound like K.T.P. and there are more of these than her previous albums that I've checked out. I've been unsure what to rate this. I don't love everything, but it's all still fairly engaging and the album feels more like ten minutes than thirty-three minutes in running time. Between a 3 and a 3.5 out of 5.
Best Tracks: Beep, The One, Popular, K.T.P. (Keep The Peace), Marigold
I like Bun and many of the features on this guest filled project, but there are tired, old southern hip hop topics, none of the production is great, and nothing moves me too much. It's an easy, enjoyable listen at only 34 minutes, but there isn't anything that's memorable.
Best Tracks: Hesitate, Dueces in the Wnid
I forgot how annoying 'DJs' are on these kind of mixtapes. FFS! It's annoying on Snoop's recent tape, but it's taken to a whole other level here. Who thinks it's a good idea to have this corny, irritating guy screaming all over the songs? It almost ruins it. This is him at the end of 'Bruh' - "I got my mojo back. Oh, behave!"... What a clown.
I'm not feeling the opening songs much but it improves from 'Street Cred' to have a number worth repeating in the second half of the project. Lyrically, there isn't much that stands out. I've bemoaned at these rappers who haven't sold one mg of drugs for 40 years still spitting about it. Pusha T is the biggest offender in hip hop. It's boring.
The production has some high moments and Jeezy flows well as he always has. I don't like enough tracks enough, or think any of them are amazing to give this a higher rating though.
Best Tracks: Plug On Em, I Ain't Gone Hold Ya, How Deep, BIG SNO, One Hunnid
As someone who ranks peak Simpsons as the greatest show of all time, garbage like this annoys me. At least the Plusaversary has some decent jokes. The show has fallen off but with horrendous, waste of time shorts like these, it is really ruining its legacy. Disney truly is evil.
