DON'T BE DUMB_by_A$AP Rocky

ENTROPY_Hip_HOp_262026011

listened on Moondrop Robin

OOOO this was a good one to start the year. This album feels like it's made by someone who is making music because they LOVE it. I'm especially hearing this album pull from a lot Black American music tracks like STOLE YA FLOW & AIR FORCE pull heavy from the South American Hip Hop scene in the 90s and 2000s with that grimey bass that's simultaneously reminding me of the Miami bass and horrorcore scenes. On the opposite end ROBBERY is a smooth jazz delight. There's even more esoteric parts like STFU;s inclusion of Deaton Chris Anthony's Amiga. The Amiga is essential to the early days of jungle, and DCA pushed it into a rock place on SID THE KID that was so pleasing to my ears, wow does it hit in a rap context too. This album was a delight. fav_track: STFU (DCA fangirl)

listened on Moondrop Robin

when i read the initial reviews on this release I instantly delayed listening to it bc I knew it would hit me in a certain way. my expectations were fulfilled to say the least. Seeing Danny on instagram be an unabashed lover of hyperpop, along with the already trending that way vibe of his previous releases, I was expecting him to dip his toes, not full pivot. I think the standout here is the producer lineup not the vocal performances. Not to dig at the vocal performance however, it's fucking good, the production is just a step higher. I didn't care much for the Quadeca collabs, they felt a bit safe for the scope of this album. I could literally be here all day talking about every other track tho. I was like fully gobsmacked by the sewerslvt collab and the final verse of the FEMTANYL track is going to take me a bit to understand. fav_track: All4u

icl i'm not getting the consensus around this album. there are a few distinct lowpoints but there are also some high points, which together make a solid record. is it ye's best? no but ye has an extensive and acclaimed discography and this is far from ye's worst imo (probably one of my hotter takes but this is my list not yours). I see some similarities between CARNIVAL and BLACK SKINHEAD from yeezus. my fav track was PAPERWORK i loved the bassline on it

my opinion on this album hasn't really changed. I rarely return to it compared to Ye's other work. i think my favourite track is FUK SUMN now
