Yeah this is mid at best. Had no direction and was torn between trying to appeal to a wider demographic via label desires off the success of savage on tiktok, and needing to appeal to her fanbase. I really feel she failed to do both. I’m almost positive this will come and go outside of a select few songs (and even then) but quote me if I end up wrong
bad b****
f***ing
long d***
money
you b****es this b****es that
demon time
this is all she raps about
This is jus personal preference. You can say this bout a lot of rappers. It’s really the bars themselves weren’t that quotable and her flow is feelin tired on my ears now.
look like GTA characters
These who is judging music for the streets and getting WOW'd by Girls In the Hood
Body hook annoying as f***. Never been into Meg, so not checking the album.

I remember in middle school when white people especially white publications used to talk s*** about rap constantly. Now that hip-hop is up there's been this weird heel turn where they do obvious virtue signalling like this. I don't care what any mainstream publications have to say about hip hop tbh
Exactly. It's all disingenuous and embarrassing

I ain’t finish it but from what I heard she was doing her thing on here
i liked it better than fever but its not better than tina snow
i dont get tired of "good p**** rap" when its done well and she does it well but i really want her to talk about something else. might have been too many samples but i think they were done well and were unique enough.
she couldve kept the lil durk verse, the singy pop song, & dont stop. my favorites were freaky girls, sugar baby, shots fired, & body.
if she doesnt change up after this i think people might get disappointed. she has way more potential than she gives us.
overall, lots of good songs for me to shake my ass to in the club (when they reopen ) or when im doing my makeup
7.5/10

I mean, you apparently write for Complex so of course you would say that
I really can't stand those goofy ass niggas who be on that "Less Nicki, Meg, or City Girls more Lauryn Hill, Rapsody, and Noname" s***. Those same artists y'all pretend to cape for got songs about them doing dirt/being reckless, and sexually free.
Y'all stay tryna keep women in hip-hop in this weird ass box of modesty and hardly even listen to them. If y'all did y'all would know Noname gotta whole song about suckin d*** and getting her back blown out after getting flown out to Jamaica.
Y'all pretend to cape for socially conscious rap from women, but will proudly cape for and at times defend niggas like 6ix9ine, XXXTentacion, and King Von (RIP)
Many of you same hypocritical bozos talking about sOcIaLlY cOnScIoUs RaP aren't listening to a Black Thought, Common, Nas, Lupe, etc. Y'all listening to Drake, Travis Scott, Pop Smoke (RIP), Future, Uzi, PartyNextDoor, Lucki, Migos, Baby Keem, DaBaby, Gunna, and Playboi Carti.
Y'all call conscious rap niggas like J Cole, Kendrick, Denzel Curry, Earl, Vince Staples, Wale, Jay Electronica, "dust", "weird", "boring", and "mysterious" but suddenly tryna say y'all want "More Lauryn Hills"...gimme a f***in break.
You spittin' but the lack of diverse female rappers in the mainstream is more apparent then their male counter parts.

Fun fact, it has a higher Metacritic score than:
GKMC
College Dropout
Late Reg
Graduation
YEEZUS
Take Care
Channel orange
Blonde
Lemonade

it aint a horrible album, but it was alright. definitely don't think it needed to be 17, but I have that critique about most of this lane and even some of her contemporaries on this album
like some other people said, feels like she was just spamming samples to do it. Maybe to further her image as a real rapper, a historian, idk, but it doesn't do much after the first few songs for me. I appreciate it though

to be fair it’s not really 17 only 14
the last 3 are only there if you want em don’t even need them in your library really

I put that more on labels honestly. They never want to promote more diverse female rappers. It's really a shame because once you start searching out female rappers you're gonna find a lot of dope and very creative artists out there.
I was pulling for Kilo Kish so hard man. I swore after K+ she was next up
