Eminem - Kamikaze part 2

The 2nd part of our Eminem review gets into his battle with a few people that is burning up the internet (white on white crime) The Machine Gun Kelly battle that started waaaay back in 2014 or 2012 about something he said about his daughter. We continue with Em’s legacy and what is possibly his next move. Theeen we talk about what great kinda looks like in this era and what this year looks like with competitive releases.

 

Eminem - Kamikaze 2018

So holy Sh**!! Did not expect this to come out this year like this. Sean and I go all in on the new release by Eminem that puts his target on reviewers, rappers and partners that he needs to let out some venom on. A throw back to the Shady days that I was hoping for last year instead of the Revival release.

We take the time to pay respect to Mac Miller with his untimely death. A little about his rap career, depression and substance abuse. RIP

 

 

Kamikaze is the tenth studio album by American rapper Eminem. Previously unannounced, the album was released on August 31, 2018 by Aftermath Entertainment, Interscope Records, and Shady Records. The album features guest appearances from Joyner Lucas, Royce da 5'9", Jessie Reyez, and uncredited vocals by Justin Vernon

The internet (Hive Mind) / Buddy (Harlan & Alondra)

This week we get a little Neo-soul and a little west coast rap harmonizing music that Sean and I get into this week.  A break from the named performers as well as familiar sounds out today.  A really good mixture and somewhat contrasting but pretty good releases for this year.  Strictly west coast this week.  We test each others perspective on these two artist.

 

Travis Scott (Astroworld) and YG (Dangerous) 2018

We head out west and to Texas to review two new releases that go about their thing with contrasting styles.  YG with the hard core west coast street life with a different swag to it.  Then Travis Scott the producer extrondinaire giving us some reminiance of early Kanye productions.  We dive in to get a feel of the AstroWorld and Stay dangerous releases and what both artist bring to the hip hop world.

 

                   

Drake new release - "Scorpion" Side A

We finally sit down and review this mega 25 track release by Drake.  With anyone else this would be a long drawn out bore, but when it comes to Drake and his super stardom and versatile skills.  We had to wait and see what he would put together.  Here's our take

   

 

Scorpion is the fifth studio album by Canadian rapper Drake. It was released on June 29, 2018 by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records. Scorpion is a double album consisting of 25 tracks. Its "A side" is primarily a hip hop album, whilst its "B side" has been described as R&B and pop

The Carters - Everything Is Love (Beyonce & Jay Z)

Sean and I discuss the significant and social impact the Carters release has done at this time.  from the differences in Beyonce, the production quality as well as the flow and presentation this major power couple has shown the world with their collaborative release.  The Carters!!

Jay Rock vs. ASAP Rocky 2018

We close this week out with two very well developed releases by Jay Rock (Redemption) and ASAP Rocky (Testing).  So unique in their way that we left them for last so we would be able to spend the time to highlight and showcase their talent.  Very good listen.

   

Freddie Gibbs and Black Thought (The Roots)

Sean and I go through a short review of some releases in June that may have been overlooked because of the massive amount of big names releasing something almost as a competition on who's who and whats better.  We review the "Freddie" from Freddie Gibbs and "Streams of Thought, vol 1, by Black Thought.

  

Kids see Ghost - Kanye and Kid Cudi

We jump into the 3rd installment of the Kanye production month with the release of "Kids see Ghost".  The collaboration with Kanye and Kid Cudi on their 7 track release.  Since we are fans of Kid Cudi, we absolutely have our opinion of what we think of the overall production.

Kanye West "Ye"

As this is Kanye's month (June).  We start with his solo release Ye!  Even tho the album covers says,"I hate being bi-polar - its awesome".  Somebody is still a fan and somebody is done with his sh*t!!  But we both know that he is still one of the best producers out now.  we break it down!!
