(Contains some profanity) This is Beenzino's album [12], packed with masterpieces, a must-listen if you want to get to know him. Artist: Beenzino Release Date: May 31, 2016 Label: 1LLIONAIRE RECORDS Distributor: Genie Music (Corp.), Stone Music Entertainment Playtime: 45:35 While it was divisive upon its release, Beenzino's masterpiece is now being recognized. 👍 The title and theme are related to 'time,' which is why there are many time-related songs. Most of the masterpieces on this album had a unique feel. It wasn't Beenzino's laid-back rap from before, but exciting rap, which was truly so refreshing. Tracklist Time Travel End of Saturday (Feat. Black Nut) I Don't Mind Flexin' January (Feat. YDG) Being Myself Break Imagine Time (Feat. SURAN) Getting Wet Dali, Van, Picasso We Are Going To Thanks for reading

Part 1 Link: https://link.playio.co/gqmuk0 Born by chance as niche music, Rebirth remained an album that was as geniusly bizarre as it was boring, the kind only a genius could create. Tyga isn't the world's best rapper. But earlier this year, he revealed aspirations to completely reinvent himself and his music, not unlike Lil Wayne. His vision was to create a character entirely separate from the Tyga known for party anthems in the early 2010s, operating as a sort of fourth-stringer in Young Money, and to embody that character throughout the album's promotional cycle. This work was intended to be a concept album that boldly asks, "What if the protagonist of Al Pacino's Scarface wasn't a drug lord, but a pop star, and that pop star was Tyga?" Source: Pitchfork First off, this isn't an evaluation of the album... yet.

Well, it's quite an old story, but I was too lazy to post it. I'm going to write a review of the album [$TARFACE] by Tyga, which was given a 0 by the world-renowned music review site Pitchfork. This concept album, centered on Tyga's "slop pop," is smug, triumphant, and melancholic. The very existence of this album has made the world a worse place to live. For Lil Wayne, who was the world's best rapper in the late 2000s, being confined by outdated concepts like genre was suffocating. He wasn't just a rapper; he was a rockstar. That's why in 2010, Wayne and his producers gathered in the studio and created Rebirth, the most amateurish and idiotic rock and roll album in the world. It's admirable that he convinced his label to stack up a huge amount of money in the style of KLF, pour gasoline on it, and then set it ablaze with a match. Source: Pitchfork

I bought the reissued Justhis album '2 MANY HOMES CD', and I really like the introduction. The 'HOMES' in the album title refers to the concept of a home formed by a mindset, not a house. (omitted) Instead of resentment towards the complex and noisy situation surrounding Korean hip-hop, I decided to create a good example solely through music. It focuses on the values of 'Conscious,' which was the starting point of my hip-hop journey, and 'Alternative,' which pursues something different. (From Justhis' NYLON interview) Suddenly, I thought, 'Ah, it seems like one boy had too many homes.' Those homes are my actual family, my friends when I ran away from home, hip-hop, and art. (From Justhis' HiphopLE interview) '2 MANY HOMES 4 1 KID' is an eternal masterpiece of Korean hip-hop, no doubt.

Even if very few people read it, the benefits will be delicious, right? Recommendations are the priority, though. (Although I did say earlier that the biggest benefit was for me)

The sound of [BARS] points to Paloalto's starting point, and his rap records the present, far from it. While the album's consistent tone and mismatched features leave a weak impression, moments led by Paloalto himself align old sounds with his current life. The rap, flowing naturally with his accumulated career, lends weight to this retrospective. -Rhythm- (Rhythm and Bars) Rating: 3.5 My thoughts: It was a truly Paloalto-esque album. I definitely saw Paloalto, who is better at rap than mental health. Lyrically, it felt like listening to the story of Paloalto, the head of Highr Music, from the beginning to the present, which was great. My rating: 6/10 (Masterpiece-level) You might think 6 points is too low, but I also feel like I might have given it a bit too much... Of course, it's good, but his rap style seems too consistently similar, so I can't give it a higher score.

Even within similar sounds, each track paints a different scene. "Modern Art" features a somber synthesizer that subtly echoes Nas's "N.Y. State of Mind" behind the rap. "ROCK RIGHT NOW" injects vitality into the rhythm by placing a voice sample front and center. "Nostalgia," with its synthesizer intermittently spreading over mellow keys, creates the song's flow by following small changes in sound. This arrangement maintains a retro texture while preventing the nine tracks from sounding monotonous. Paloalto's rap flows flexibly over these beats. He naturally transitions from one story to the next, maintaining his rhyme scheme, and even without distinct moments of emphasis, the verses remain engaging until the end. The uninhibited monologue in "ROCK RIGHT NOW," the self-statement in "Under Rapper," and the long retrospective in "511" offer both the pleasure of following the lyrical narrative and the enjoyment of listening to the rap itself. Without relying on a single standout technique, he leads the entire song persuasively.

Paloalto and Yosi's collaborative album [Mental Health] was a work that explored Yosi's mental crisis and recovery through Paloalto's rap. In [BARS], released just three months later, the focus shifts to himself. Now in his 40s and active as an independent artist again, he looks back on the time that has passed since he first fell in love with hip-hop. The album centers around jazzy, lo-fi boom-bap reminiscent of J Dilla and Q-Tip. Short, chopped samples are repeated, and a muffled texture, as if the rap has noise, is added. The unpolished sound naturally aligns with the era Paloalto reflects on. It's also great that the texture doesn't significantly deviate from track to track, despite the involvement of multiple producers.

It seems all of Rhythmer's reviews of Kim Simya's albums have been controversial.
