Logic - Aquarius III: REVIEW

What the hell's up y'all?! This ya boy Denzel back in the house after a long absence. Life jus' been throwin' them curve balls at a brotha ya know? But we aight, still down wit' the finest queen ever, Emma herself, an' we still tight as hell. Let's jump into this!!


Logic done gone an' dropped an EP he callin' Aquarius III, word! Now y'all remember I rated son's album in my Top Ten List for '24, an' I'm hopin' he bring the fire here. Son gets mad ill when he wants, on me!! This thing tiny, only 14 minutes. But let's see if it wack or fire.

This is the Way - This startin' off aight. The beat's aight, it's got kick to it. The narrator thingy's dope.

Damn. This don't sound like Logic. Shit soundin' like son bitin' Mac Miller's style, word. Now I KNOW this cat can do betta. He ain't gotta sound like no other rapper out here. This hook misplaced too....it kinda too pop for this sorta track. This ain't a BAD song but son soundin' so much like Mac Miller I ain't able to take this shit seriously. Word.

Beats - 7/10
Lyrics - 6/10

13/20

French Dispatch - Ohh!! This the Logic I been hopin' for off this! Son spittin' here like his own self!! Damn!! Son jus' cooked that while first verse, word!! I love this thing where he talkin' bout his imaginary friend. Shit low-key deep y'all. This thing dope.

Beats - 8/10
Lyrics - 8/10

16/20

Not a Game ft. Lucy Rose - I don't know who this Lucy Rose chick is but I'm hopin' she aight. Logic's spittin' pretty aight again, an' the beat nice. His flow started off kinda shaky but then he jus' flowin' like heck. Love the Dilla shout-out too, word. Nice beat change to that hook. The rest of this wit Lucy Rose too poppy an' shouldn't have been given so much dang time. It's aight but I ain't gonna be returnin' jus' for Logic's verse cause that sangin' lady mad unnecessary. Shit was like tryna mix Chappell Roan wit' Mobb Deep - ain't workin' out.

Beats - 7/10
Lyrics - 7/10

14/20

Universe - We startin' off wit' a lil skit. Oh gosh.... son's on his sangin' tip again. Finally he back to rappin' an' it's pretty dope. This beat soundin' nostalgic kinda. It kinda like Money Trees but ain't got the stayin' power. Oh now they jus' cut the verse on in the middle?? Who the hell thought that was a good idea, b?? Son was flowin' for a sec there.

Beats - 7/10
Lyrics - 7/10

14/20

Kinda wanna cut points for cuttin' the song off but we'll let it slide.

A Message From My Younger Self - This a skit wit' Logic talkin' bout hisself an his journey. It's from 2011, an' the ish pretty inspirational, kinda a nice note to end on. I like this outro.

Aight y'all. Let's tally this whole thing up:

57/80
71%

It's an aight project all in all. I ain't mad at it, it jus' coulda been....better in places. One thing I'm gonna say - the brotha's got his skits right FINALLY. I know a helluva lotta people were out there bitchin' cause the skits on his last album were too long, that ain't an issue here. Son jus' did a lil five second skit here an' there an' went right to music. That's perfect, word. Best track outta all this gonna be the French Dispatch one, son was goin' lyrical like crazy on there an' the beat's dope. The intro is gonna be the worst track cause that shit....yo, I dunno what my guy was tryna do there, but that moanin' on the mic like he drunk off sumthin' ain't it. Save that for Lil Peep an' them emo rap kids. Summa the mixin' here off too, word. I dunno what son's producer be doin', but he reminds me of me - me at 12.

Other than that an' the Chappell Roan duplicate on Not a Game, this tape aight. If you don't vibe wit' Logic, it ain't gonna make you a fan, but it's worth one listen at least.

REVIEW - Curren$y and DJ Fresh: The Tonite Show; The Sequel

   Yo, yo, yo, what’s crackin', fam? It’s ya boy Denzel comin' back at y’all with another drop. Hope all my peeps out here in the States had a lit Labor Day, kickin' it with the squad and fam, you know the vibes (written on 3rd Sept.) So I wasn’t even tryna peep this tape at first, wasn't even on my radar, but then I scoped the album art on Reddit and yo, that art goes hard, word! Straight jackin' the OG cover from Kool G Rap and DJ Polo’s Road to Riches. Now, last time someone bit a cover like this, it was that 21 Savage joint with the Illmatic swipe on American Dream, and word is bond y'all, that was straight rubbish. Had me tight tryna review that weak fake gangsta mess. So this joint better pull up or it’s curtains. Road to Riches? That's a certified 10/10, word. And yo, if you ain't bumped that Kool G classic yet, stop playin' and go cop that joint. Don’t even come at me talkin’ 'bout you gonna get that ish on streaming, it ain’...

REVIEW - Polo G: Hood Poet

  Aight, check it. So this joint right here, I been waitin’ on it, feel me? I ain't really vibed with Polo G like that before, but to keep it real with y'all, I only heard one track from the dude. I'm tryna see if homie got that fire. This kid got potential, I really want him to blow up, word. Maybe it’s ‘cause he got a lil’ Craig G or Warren G in his name, I dunno, but I’m rootin’ for him to make it big. The album just dropped an hour ago, so let's see what it’s hittin’ for. God's Favourite Aight, this intro’s cool. Some chick singin’, then Polo G jumpin’ in with that smooth voice. I ain’t too crazy ‘bout the moanin’ he be doin’, but now he spittin’ and it's actually hittin'. My man’s levelin' up! This joint right here is dope, beat slaps, and the lyrics ain't too shabby either. Beats - 7/10   Lyrics - 8/10   15/20 No Recruits This one starts off real soft, almost too soft. I’m hopin’ he don’t get all singy on this one. Soun...
