Rolling Stone's 476th greatest album of all time
I quite enjoyed this album, good quality hip hop, though I think that was mostly achieved with guest vocals. Hypnotize and Mo Money Mo Problems are incredible songs and the rest was pretty good. Much fewer annoying interlude "skits" too.

Really impressed by the quality of the sound from these guys. (1 more)
It's a little bit different, so if you fancy giving 'Folky Hip Hop' a whirl -this is where you can.
I'd not listened to these guys before, until I saw them on Smashbomb - that's what this site is all about.
Rolling Stone's 361st greatest album of all time
Great soft hip hop album, with more melody than a lot of similar acts, as sufficient focus is given to the music. Featuring the well-known Ms Jackson and a number of lesser known but great songs, particularly Humble Mumble and Slum Beautiful.

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Big Fish Theory by Vince Staples in Music
Jul 6, 2017
A truly progressive, existential, emotionally saturated hip-hop album that establishes the value of dance-centric collaboration by reminding us that it’s exactly that. And it will win this way, every single time.
Critic- Austin Reed

Ross (3284 KP) rated Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde by The Pharcyde in Music
Apr 9, 2021
Rolling Stone's 482nd greatest album of all time (2020)
I had never heard The Pharcyde before so wasn't sure what to expect. The album is a good hip hop one, up there with Public Enemy and NWA, though without the personalities. Some good production on the album, with enough focus on the music.

Ross (3284 KP) rated The Black Album by Jay-Z in Music
May 15, 2020
Rolling Stone's 349th greatest album of all time
Superb hip hop album by one of the greatest. While his voice lacks depth somewhat, compared to others, he makes up for this with excellent lyricism and the music backing it. Including 99 Problems, Dirt off Your Shoulder and an excellent reworking of Madonna's Justify My Love.
