Live.Long.A$AP Review:

1. Live.Long.A$AP: 4/5 - Good introduction, definitely a solid song.
2. Goldie: 4.5/5 - Sick of the song now, but it was dope when it was out
3. PMW (Ft. SchoolBoy Q): 4/5 - Enjoy this song, but SBQ could've put it over the top for me and he didn't.
4. LVL: 3/5 - It was alright, nothing special that took me by surprise. Good producing by Clams Casino.
5. Hell (Ft. Santigold): 4/5 - Another good song, nothing spectacular so far.. Starting to feel like I'm listening to the same song over and over.. Great chorus by Santigold though.
6. Pain (Ft. OverDoz): 3/5 - Again, still feel like I'm listening to the same song. Starting to get irritated now.
7. Fuckin' Problem (Ft. 2 Chainz, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar): 4.5/5 - Sick of this song as well because I overplayed it, still good as hell though. Not a perfect 5.
8. Wild for the Night (Ft. Skrillex): 2.5/5 - Fuck Skrillex, this song is bad. Attempt at a party song but I'm not feeling it at all. I'm sure I'll be hearing it all the time at parties though.
9. 1 Train: 5/5 - Great work by everyone except Yelawolf, good producing by Hit-Boy. Not a song that will be legendary to me, but definitely one I'll be playing for awhile.
10. Fashion Killa: 4.5/5 - I actually really enjoy this song, switches up the sound from earlier but isn't a single. Pretty solid and good producing again.
11. Phoenix: 3/5 - Boring track, seems like he's trying to be deep but that's not his style. Again sounds like what he was doing before. Nothing sticks out to me in this CD, it all sounds like one big song.
12. Suddenly: 2.5/5 - Another boring track until SUDDENLY it picks up.. Finishes strong for like 30 seconds, I guess.. Would've been better if the whole track was like that..
13. Jodye: 3/5 - Still sounds like the same repetitive "dark" producing, he's doing decently on the track though. Still hasn't broken the "one big song" thing, getting to the end of the album.. Pretty disappointed to say the least..
14. Ghetto Symphony (Ft. A$AP Ferg and Gunplay) : 4.5/5 - I enjoyed this track, pretty solid and Ferg is a good rapper as well I think he could be next up. I don't really like Gunplay, but I know others do for some reason.. He does pretty good on it, compares Rocky to Andre and himself to Big Boi though.
15. Angels: 2.5/5 - Same feel as the whole entire album, not surprised. It's not as dark though.. Same flow though, eh. Another average track maybe even below average. Disappointed in the album. Hopefully I'm not the only one.

Overall: 54.5/75 -> 3.63/5

Maybe I think this is worse than it really is because I've already heard all the singles which are the only real good songs minus a few like Ghetto Symphony, Fashion Killa, and 1 Train. I don't know, I think he added too many songs. Sounded like one big song for the most part. I expected better but at the same time I'm not surprised. Maybe I'll adjust to it with another listen, but for now it's just average.

Review for T.I.'s Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head:

The Introduction: 4.25/5
G Season (ft. Meek Mill): 3.5/5
-Love Meek, but not feeling this one.
Trap Back Jumpin: 4/5
Wildside (ft. ASAP Rocky): 4/5
Ball (ft. Lil Wayne): 3.25/5
-Hated this when it first came out, but T.I. really does save this one. Wayne murders the track in a bad way though.
Sorry (ft. Andre 3000): 4.75/5
-Both of them kill it. But, Andre probably "renegaded" T.I. here.
Can You Learn (ft. R. Kelly): 4.5/5
Go Get It: 4.5/5
Guns and Roses (ft. Pink): 4.5/5
-T.I.'s "Love the Way You Lie", but much better. Pink does really well on the hook.
The Way We Ride: 4/5
Cruisin: 2.5/5
-Feels similar to "Whatever You Like", though a significantly shittier version.
Addresses: 4/5
Hello (ft. Cee Lo Green): 3.5/5
-Not a huge Cee Lo fan.
Who Want Some: 4/5
Wonderful Life (ft. Akon): 4.75/5
-From the perspective of T.I.'s deceased father, which allows this to be a very deep song on the album. Great verses and Akon does very well on the hook.
Hallelujah: 4.25/5
-Very religious feel here and it really works well, especially where it was placed after "Wonderful Life".
Love This Life: 4/5
-The second "Whatever You Like"-esque song here. This one was released as a single and is on the iTunes deluxe edition. Really like this one.
Like That: 4,25/5

72.5/90 -> 4.03/5

Big fan of this album as a whole. There were some lows, sure, but most of the tracks are good. Not the album of the year, but definitely an album that excites me for the second part of this album, Trouble Man: He Who Wears the Crown. One of my favorite T.I. albums as of right now, behind Urban Legend, King, and Trap Muzik, in particular.


I'll also be listening to Chief Keef's "Finally Rich" later today for shits and gigs. I'll post up the review for that later, haha.

Long Live A$AP - 4.5/5
Goldie - 5/5
PMW - 4.5/5
LVL - 2/5
Hell - 2/5
Pain - 3/5
Fuckin Problem - 4.5/5
Wild for the Night - 1/5
One of the worst hip hop song by a legitimate artist of the year
1 train - 5/5
Best Song on the album
Fashion Killa - 4.5/5
Phoenix - 2.5/5
Suddenly - 2/5
Jodye - 3/5
Ghetto Symphony - 4/5
Angels - 2/5
Total = 51.5/75 = 3.4/5


It starts of real strong with the first 3 tracks and he two songs with the kendrick features are amazing. After that though, this is one of the most unidimensional and most boring albums I have heard in a long time. It is like the same beat every fucking time and ASAP raps about the same thing almost every time. Not a great start for 2013.

Looks like we feel about the same on every song. I was extremely tempted to give Wild for the Night a 1. haha.

I admit I'm not a very big fan of rap. Actually I pretty much hate most of the mainstream stuff of the last 10 years.

With one big exception, this man:

Finally Rich review, lol:

Love Sosa: 2.5/5
-This beat bangs like all fuck and Chief Keef is *gasp* decent here, until the final verse that is
Hallelujah: 1.5/5
-Third "Hallelujah" to drop this month, after Game's version and T.I.'s, but this one just sucks so much D. Young Chop's beat bumps again though.
I Don’t Like (ft. Lil Reese): 2/5
-I'd still like to thank Kanye and GOOD Music for rescuing this beat in their version.
No Tomorrow: 1/5
-First non-Young Chop produced beat here, as Mike WiLL Made It takes the reigns here. It's a welcomed change as the beat bangs too while Chief Keef queefs all over it.
Hate Bein’ Sober (ft. 50 Cent & Wiz Khalifa): 1.5/5
-Young Chop is back again with another banger. 50's verse is alright and gives me some "hope" (if you can call it that) for his album that it won't be complete and utter shit, but since I have no hope anyways, the change isn't noticeable.
Kay Kay: .5/5
-Second non-Young Chop beat here and it's autotuned. If you didn't think Keef could be worse, lol at you.
Laughin’ to the Bank: 0/5
-YG takes the production reigns over here and God is this one bad. Nicki Minaj's "Stupid Hoe" has some competition for worst song of the year. It's so bad that I skipped it, which says something since I've listened through every other song in its entirety.
Diamonds (ft. French Montana): 2.5/5
-Young Chop is back with another banging beat. Both Keef and Montana get some short ass verses, but I honestly like that about this one.
Ballin’: 1/5
-Tracks with non-Young Chop beats seem to be the worst ones here. Chief Keef should just stick with Young Chop on them beats.
Understand Me (ft. Young Jeezy): 1/5
-Perfect track title for Jeezy and Keef to hop on. Just beautiful. Jeezy's better than most Southern trap-type artists, but he does nothing to save this one. Another non-Young Chop beat, fwiw.
3Hunna (ft. Rick Ross): 1/5
-An even better track for Ross to jump on here. Somebody has a sense of humor. Good beat, but this is utter trash.
Finally Rich: .5/5

15/60 -> 1.25/5

Each song is honestly just a continuation of the others and the whole thing feels like a 55 minute song, especially with much of the beats made by Young Chop and many of them sounding the same. I tried to find some redeeming qualities about the album and honestly, the beats are good and some of these songs ("Love Sosa", "I Don't Like", "Hate Bein' Sober in particular) will be good party songs down the line, I guess. Though, I hate to say it, with the way Chief Keef lives his life, it's only a matter of time before he winds up dead. This is utter shit as a whole though and I take back my previous comment about today being a good day for hip hop, as today is a very bad day for hip hop.


Long.Live.ASAP is next on my to listen list.

Yea, exactly what I thought. I've noticed that albums tend to leak around the Wednesday before they drop, but this is like a full month before it's supposed to drop.
