Music Commentary

Hello. I have an extensive--and mostly useless--academic background in Audio Production, Music Cognition, but mostly, as a Beatmaker.

I have strong opinions about these beats, and most piss me, But there are exceptions, and I honor them. Listen to my ruthless critique and break downs of my first listening experience + reaction to the beats off the mostly highly-anticipated hip-hop and rap albums as they're released.

BR S2E23 - (J.Cole - "Might Delete Later")

"Like That" has produced "7 Minute Drill," and since my last review, J.Cole has apologized for "7 Minute Drill." The rap game is a shambles. "Might Delete Later" is satire at this point, but we still review the crappy beats. It's hard to look any of the beats seriously as we await the Drake response to Kendrick diss while simultaneously listening to "Still Don't You," but I do it--with absolutely no mercy.. Check it out.

BR S2E22 - (Future & Metro Boomin - "WE DON'T TRUST YOU")

Aside from all the drama created by "Like That," this album's production is potent in various ways. There's an absolute army of hip-hop production talent that contribute to Metro's leadership, but even more, I think Metro is really finding his niche in collaborating with other producers and beatmakers. The production is far from 'dialed in.' It's measured, it's structured, creatively-intentioned, and potent. No more loops for Metro! 1. "We Don’t Trust You" Written by: Leland Wayne, Mejdi Rhars, ...

BEAT REVACTIONS - (YEAT - "2093(P2)") Part A

I didn't want to like this punk, but in my first listen, I immediately became a fan of this man's very aggressive yet purposeful production style, via his latest, "2093 (& P2)," I explain why in Part A of the "2093" review. We review the beats, not the words.

BEAT REVACTIONS - (Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign - "VULTURES I")

A hip-hop music production toure de force from Yeezy--reminiscent of the collaborative production efforts of B.D.T.F. Most of all, it just sounds like Kanye. This first listen reaction, review does not credit his contributors, some of which, have been a part of the Ye collective since he rented out an apartment with Donda in Newark, NJ. Other than the big names initially mentioned--Timbaland, JPEGMAFIA, James Blake, LondonOnDaTrack--here's who we later found out were involved from a production s...

BEAT REVACTIONS - (Benny the Butcher - "Everybody Can't Go")

This podcast is about the beats. And these beats, are produced, entirely by The Alchemist and Hit-Boy--possibly two of my top ten hip-hop producers ever. I do not know who Corbett is, but he's a contributer. And although, we focus on beats, music production, and audio engineering on this podcast, Benny may be my favorite active rapper in the game, so there's a bias that's hard to ignore. However, with these standards come very high expectations. Find out if this album delivers on my most skeptic...

BEAT REVACTIONS - (Lyrical Lemonade - "All Is Yellow")

There is a great story behind the yellow curtain used for the cover of Lyrical Lemonade's "All is Yellow." The beats mostly adhere to commercial UMG Recordings, Inc guidelines, but there are some quiet gems in terms of production. Listen to my full pod!

BEAT REVACTIONS - (21 Savage - "American Dream")

Twunywun twunyewun.. Pleasantly surprised : 21 Savage's "American Dream" was a solid body of work from a production perspective. The Metro-assisted stuff real shined and kind of shifted my opinion on his not exactly being a producer, but really only a beatmaker. I explain why in the full ep. "Insano" is next! Production credits (via Complex) : “American Dream” f/ Heather Carmillia Joseph Written by: Billie Rae Calvin, BK Rube, Isaiah Brown, Sterling White Produced by: Isaiah "ibmixing" Brown, Sp...

BR - PAISLEY DREAMS (Hit Boy, BIG Hit, The Game)

Btw, there should be a whole Hit Boy X The Game album, but alas, Big Hit has been released, and he wants a project from his son. Dude sounds a lot like Nipsey. He's a decent rapper. The beats are solid 'Hit.'

BEAT REVACTIONS (S2E7) Danny Brown - "QUARANTA"

The man's "spiritual sequel to XXX" is borderline incoherent lyrically and musically. However, there is some sick production worth reviewing on this that pokes some bright lights through a dark and disorganized attempt at catching us up on D.B.'s latest struggles.

BEAT REVACTIONS (S2E3) - "LIL WAYNE & 2CHAINZ- Welcome 2 Collegrove"

Weezy and Chainz feel the need to express their gripes with old age over a few instantly classic and, just classic, beats. I pick apart these beats. Wayne and Chainz' lyrics overshadow excellent production, despite there being a steady decline in production quality, at least, from my perspective. You'll see, you'll hear--me be annoyed.
