in my top 5 albums of 2022
you smart
you smart
there's been a lot of great s*** that dropped this year but yeah Denzel, Kendrick, Lupe, and Black Thought all the top 5 (always hard for me to decide on the last one when it comes to those but I'll have my top 50 decided by the end of the year)
x wing hard
I don’t think it will ever click for me tbh I just wanna listen to gunna when I hear it
i didnt like his rapping on the album at all tbh, besides on a couple songs
billy woods still got RAOTY
hell na
mr. morale and $$$ >>>
Mr Morale
$oul $old
Cheat Codes
Almost Dry
Then probably Melt My Eyez or Drill Music
lmaooo
X was obviously a rapper though
ironically Smino is more genre bending than a lot of people, I really think the only reason we put him in rap is that he's black, I genuinely love him he's a once in a generation artist that carved a unique lane. Don't consider him a hip-hop artist tho
Smino is a hip hop artist my brotha and I’m not saying that because he’s black im saying that bc he’s a hip hop artist
boring
Gibbs, Vince, Kendrick >>>>>
No, but still incredible. Denzel has shown soo much growth as an artist. This and Taboo are great works of art.

its up there crazy that i wasnt feeling it when it came out
i think aint no way and x wing back to back threw me off
X Wing goes crazy
I need to give this a few more spins but I thought it suffered from being imo very downbeat generally some cringe bars throughout and just overall I feel like denzel was trying too hard to prove himself as this dense knotty rapper when imo he's never really been that or at least that's not what his obvious strengths are. Not bad at all tho I just didn't totally vibe with it
