Comments:Found Jippy a couple months ago. Then kinda forgot, BUT then remebered through a Soap shoe Bombrush mod showcase. This album is amazing and might be one of his best mixes out of all 40. Really fun stuff.

My Dead Girlfriend - March 14, 2012
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments:It feels like im floating when listening to it, which is a given saying that its showgaze. Its a decently lengthed album, only about 40 minutes. I think its a good, I'm not that familiar with shoegaze hoping I will get me familair with it.

Earl Sweatshirt - Mar 31, 2010
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments:Well it's definitely an early OF mixtape. Not saying its a good starting point for Earl, definitely fits the OF era it's from. I mean the lyrics and topics are very edgy, fit for a 16 year old Earl to make. A lot of the lyrics are creative and funny in a way. You can listen to way better stuff from Earl though.

Black Market Kidney Surgeon - March 14, 2021

Comments:A really solid hardcore punk album, not the best but a good listen for anyone into HxC. They're a really nice and cool band. The cassette for this album even came with a really big, cool looking sticker.

Number Girl - Jul 23, 1999
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments:One of my favorite japanese albums of all time. I love the rawness in Mukai's vocals and him screaming over the instrumentals, it tends to sound like hes getting drowned out by them. The instrumentals themselves are really fucking good. A really great album that I recommend if you're into loud and noisy music.

The Pillows - Dec 2, 1999

Tyler the Creator - Apr 02, 2013
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments:His best album. His flow on this album is good as usual. I like his more rap focused albums which is most of his earlier stuff, not that there aren't tracks where he sings and shit. There's something in this era of Tyler that isn't there anymore, idk. I'm just talking to talk.

Cowpers - Jul 26, 2000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments:Solid Jp band, the japanese music I listen to is aggressive and loud stuff. This scratches that perfect itch, it starts off calm at first then the vocalist just starts screaming at the top of his lungs. Suprisingly good to chill to.

Comments:Absolutely not my usual genre at all, I tried to listen to it while being open, it was alright. I dont really like soft singing much. In my favorite songs from them its the one that they arent singing softly. They can sing don't get me wrong, its just not for me :/

Doechii - Aug 30, 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: What a breath of fresh air. There's been some really good people coming out recently, and Doechii is one of them. While she isnt new this will be what brings her into the main stream. The songs are such bops and funny but yknow sad at the same time. It feels happy but when you really listen closely its you realize it isn't. Hey ya effect? Anyway I highly recommend this mixtape.

Bloodthristy Butchers & fOUL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: Its a pretty enjoyable listen, one of the weirdest I've heard in a while. Starts off weird with the track "Lost in Time", with the vocals and overall song structure, not that its bad. One of the weirdest of them are "Legacy of Hate", certain parts of the song sound like hardcore punk but with soft and melancholic vocals. Overall I fw with it, I can see myself returning to it every once in a while.
EDIT: I LOVE THIS ALBUM HOLY SHIT. I've listened to it more and it's grown on me a lot. Its a shame that spotify doesn't have there other good albums, like birdie.
Fav Songs:Escape, Legacy of Hate, I am On Fire, From Way Out Under

Downset. - Jul 12, 1994
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: (The most biased review to exist) GRAHHHH I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!! DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 5!!! To be more serious, this album is amazing. A great representation of the genre Rapcore. It's a shame most people confuse it for numetal or rap-metal. The album has alot of the tracks that have great lyrics, all of them tell a story. Like in the first track of the album "Anger", it tells the history of the la riots that happened two years prior to the album's release, it was probably a huge influence during the creation of the album. Hell, it might have even inspired the making of it. Rey Oropeza vocals are amazing. His flow when rapping the lyrics is great and the way that he can switch between rapping and yelling at the top of his lungs is very impressive. The best showing of that is in "My American Prayer", my favorite track of the album. Overall I have listened to the album more times than I can count, like multiple times a day. I will highly recommend if your into punk or nu-metal, definitely better than those unamed frauds(Ratm).
Fav Songs:My American Prayer, Ritual, Anger

Public Enemy - Apr 10, 1990
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: I mean what can I say that everyone else hasnt, the beats and lyrics as good as always with this group. My only problem with the album is that certain tracks kinda drag without anything really going on. Those tracks tend to sound the same, but they're only two like that so its not to much of a big deal. Public enemy is a very important group to the history of hiphop. I think the album is a must listen for any fan of hiphop.

Tashannie - Sept 28, 2000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: I don't listen to kpop, most of the shit steals directly from black culture while doing it poorly. I feel slightly different towards Tashannie tho. I still think they take really heavy inspo from black shit. It's literally a contemporary hiphop album, but it's really fucking catchy. The sound is very upbeat and the rapping is surprisingly copetant for kpop. The vocals aren't really like poppy(?) they have a little bass to it. From my knowledge 1st gen Kpop is like this, but take that with a grain of salt. Ot also has one of my favorite songs to play in Piu.

Outkast - Sept 23, 2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: Why am I reviewing The Love Below/SpeakerBoxx seperatley? Because theyre pretty much their own albums. There's literally one crossover song other than that it's just two albums lmao. Plus the Love Below is better and I would like to dick ride it seperatly. Anyway, it's the best album from Andre. It has nice vocals, instrumentals, good humor, it got everything you would want. I could listen to this shit all day, and I do. The story that goes along with it is sooo good too. The shit he talks about in the album hits hard. YOU NEED TO LISTEN RIGHT NOW ITS LIFE OR DEATH.

Outkast - Sept 23, 2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: It's the best Outkast album. "But you just said love below is the best one", I said best Andre album not Outkast. Big Boi is on like two song in Love Below so it's pretty much a solo project in my opinion. Anyway, amazing album. Really feels like one last hurra for Outkast.

Quadry - Sept 25, 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: Found this album through a freestyle Quadry did on 'On the Radar', AKA evil tiny desk. His flow was dope asl and I had to check his shit out. The whole Album is heat, the single from it is my favorite track. You can tell what Quadry's influences were easily. Also has some cool ass features, I love Buddy.

Count Bass D - Apr 30, 2002
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: More people need to wake up to Bass D. His flow is really nice and the beats he produces complements it. Most of the songs on this album is short and sweet. I think the longest is like 3 minutes, shortest being 20 secounds. The albums is a mixed with beats he's made and songs with him rapping. He was some cool features from Edan and MFDOOM, which got me to check Bass D in the first place. I highly reccomend this album, a easy listen that might be one of the best releases from 02'.

Mass Fermenting of the Dregs - Jan 21, 2009

King Giddra - Dec 10, 1995
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments:Until I found Kind Giddra and other artist, I hated Japanese rap. Before I found this kinda j-rap, the image I had of it was a bunch of scawny japanese dudes trying act black. Their music sounded like it too, some 16 year old soundcloud rappers from Atl levels of production. Then I found these guys and others that actually had good music and sounded like they respected the genre, not just wanting to fit the image of it. Nice chill rap to relax to.

Bleach 03 - 2006
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: Favorite kind of music that comes from japan is the stuff that's really fucking loud in everything. Pretty much the only type of music I listen to from that country other than the occassional rap and pop song. If I don't get ear damage it's not good enough, this album delivers well on that front. One of the only japanese album I own physically due to it actually getting a english release, really cool looking cd btw.

SX-10 - Jun 6, 2000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments:Picked up the album because of the Rey(Downset) feature on the first song. No clue that Sen Dog had made a side album with some other people, only knew his from his hiphop stuff and Powerflow. Pretty solid rapcore album, some of the songs are really weird like the random country or gospel one.

Snot - May 27,1997
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comments: This album is more Hardcore so I'm not sure why it's considered nu metal. None the less it's good. I like loud music for stupid people, and this definitley qualifies. The lyrics are dumb and it doesn't take itself too seriously which I can appreciate.
