I apologize in advance if the Bronson album ends up with a mid score. I've never been a fan of The Alchemist production, but it could end being a 10/10. Only one way to find out.

If you usually dislike Alchemist’s sound then I’d be very surprised if you liked this album - but who knows man. I personally find the contrast between alchemist’s grimey beats against Bronson’s clown approach to his verses very refreshing and welcome. It’s what makes me appreciate this mixtape.

Mediocre and negative ratings are fun as f---, they help you understand what others enjoy in their music and what they find so a--- about yours lol.

Had dozens of different albums and genres in mind but I went with my guts and am picking a record that I’ve been enjoying for almost a decade.
My pick for this week is:

Action Bronson & The Alchemist - Rare Chandeliers
View attachment 43899

I don’t really listen to Action Bronson at all, besides this project that is. It is his 2012 collaborative effort with Alchemist, a producer who needs no introduction whatsoever. In my opinion, Bronson and Alchemist really did capture something on this record. With its 40 minute runtime, Rare Chandeliers sees Alchemist laying down one insane instrumental after another, while Bronson slides on these underground NYC beats with his charismatic and humorous rapping style.

Hopefully it will not be a problem that the album is NOT available on any major streaming services, so datpiff or youtube will have to suffice. I attach the youtube link below.

Hope y’all enjoy this one!

Super Hyped for this pick. I do wanna mention that Datpiff has been down for a few months (or at least it was, most of their stuff got added to the internet archive and they’re having their own sets of problems) but there’s still some good alternatives. MixtapeMonkey had it i’m pretty sure

Ludacris - Theater of the Mind

Favs: Intro, Undisputed, Wish You Would, Last of a Dying Breed

Skips: One More Drink, Everybody Hates Chris, What Them Girls Like, Nasty Girl, Contagious

OVERALL RATING: 5/10

With everything considered, this album balances out to being pretty average. While Luda’s rap tracks are fire, the R&B/slow songs do not work for him at all and they take up like half of the album. Luda’s iconic delivery carries this album. If he wasn’t as entertaining to listen to, this album could easily be 4/10.

It’s nice to hear how passionate about hip hop he is, but then that makes me wonder why he spent half the album on R&B type s---. I know it’s to appeal to women but did they really listen to this? There’s much better R&B out there lmao. These songs make me want to instantly skip them.

There’s some amazing features on here, Lil Wayne especially went the f--- off. Luda has memorable lines sprinkled throughout the album. But the thing is even the rap songs start to get a little stale as the album goes on, I feel like there could’ve been more variety in beat choice and topics talked about. All the spoken word segments on the songs bring some more life and personality to the album though I must admit. There’s a few dope songs I saved to my playlists. I’m glad to hear he has better albums than this though. @AOTWClub

Not all his albums have those slow songs

I should listen to this Luda album soon. He’s a dope as f--- rapper but I never checked a full project. That’s why this group comes in clutch

New Tyler, The Creator album in an hour and a half.

Judging by the singles, I think it could go super hard.

I was hoping someone else would say this so I didn’t feel crazy!!!

Yes, this is my first Blu & Exile project. I’ve been meaning to listen to them for years now tbh. I even had the new album Love (the) Ominous World saved to my library since it came out but just didn’t get to it yet.
