Profoundly boring. I mostly just wanted a place to share my musings about basketball (and occasionally other things).

[…] baffling choice. I was so excited when I saw the tracklist and then really disappointed after actually hearing the song. Overall, this is a good project and I will always be the first in line when rappers are willing to experiment. | 3.6/5

[…] has some moments of genuine sensitivity. The album isn’t without its flaws though. The biggest disappointment for me is the track “Whiskey (Release Me)” ft. Westside Gunn & Damon Albarn which is really subdued and doesn’t actually feature a verse from Westside Gunn, only adlibs. It’s a truly…

[…] sound like a negative, but the beats are kind of all over the place. You get a lot of different flavors on here. Lyrically, A$AP is his typical braggadocious, street-wise, confidence self, but there are new depths to him. He is not at all shying away from the fact that he’s a family man now and…

Album OTD (1/21): “Don’t Be Dumb” by A$AP Rocky (2026)
OSR: I always appreciate an artist who’s willing to just try things. This album is highly experimental in its construction and you get a real sense for A$AP’s eclectic taste and influences. The production is particularly good. It’d normally…

[…] Jolie is in this movie! Lorraine freaking Bracco is in this movie. She’s in Goodfellas five years before this and the Sopranos four years after this. How on earth did she end up in this abomination? I have almost nothing good to say about this and that’s very rare for me with any film. | 0.7/5
