Jun 18, 2025 at 3:44 AM Clipse - h--- Hath No Fury Favorites: Mr. Me Too, Momma I’m So Sorry, Dirty Money, Nightmares RIPPER ROO’S RATING: 8/10 These guys have such a signature and nasty rap delivery it’s so awesome. I’ve heard so much hip hop music that it’s not often I get impressed over lines anymore, but on Hello New World when Pusha said, “I found poetry, excuse me, Floetry / Say yes, n----s hear the "yuugh" and they know it's me,” it made me give the stank face. Not only because of how true it is with that being Pusha’s signature adlib, but how it’s also a reference to an R&B duo named Floetry and their song “Say Yes”. Despite this being from 2006, most of the beats still sound great today (except for Trill, I don’t like the beat, hook, or flows on that song). My main issue with this album that stops me from giving it a 9 or 10 is the hooks. That Slim Thug hook hearing his voice saying Wamp Wamp just sounds so stupid to me and so repetitive. Pharrell’s hook on Hello New World doesn’t work for me, his singing on that track is not good and does not fit the song. And as I mentioned earlier, I dislike Trill as a whole but it contains yet another repetitive and bad sounding hook from Pharrell. The hook on Keys Open Doors is extremely repetitive but at least it doesn’t sound bad. Same with Ain’t Cha. These bad hooks really started to add up but in most cases the songs were saved by the verses and good enough (except for Trill, gotta be the worst song on the album). I might not be giving this the high score of a 9 or 10, but it’s still a great album. There’s a bunch of bars I could dive into and quote all day, but I don’t feel like it. But despite some of these bad, repetitive hooks I can still see why this album has legendary status even if I didn’t rate it 10/10. This has me looking forward to the new Clipse album even more especially with that new dope single So Be It they just dropped. @AOTWClub

Jun 18, 2025 at 5:36 AM The Beatles - The White Album Review So yeah I haven't listened to the Beatles for so long other than some I heard on the radio, at parties etc. Nice pick!! I mostly enjoyed the more 'upbeat' songs from the album, like Back in the USSR. Probably my favorite song on the album, it's perfect! Glass Union is another example. Not a fan of the obilaba song or whatever. Bit too happy for me lol. I also like Don't Pass Me By, Birthday, Yer Blues, Everybody Got Something To Hide, Helter Skelter, Revolution (another personal favorite) & Savoy Truffle. The more calm songs are obviously not bad but less my thing. Hey Jude ugh I'm so tired of hearing that song lmao. Very solid album, never bothered to put on their album so thanks again for AOTW club and especially @Yeez in this case! 8/10 @AOTWClub
