Every since I was in the 12th grade (7 years now) you guys have opened my eyes to what great hip-hop is, and you’ve never steered me wrong. You’ve introduced me to some life-changing raps, raps that make me think, raps that make me tear up. Thank you guys for continuing to review these albums for the people. We appreciate it all 👏🏾💪🏾

@loveNsuccessfollowsme Год назад

Yeah, I just wish they liked more of J. Cole and Mac Miller music. But other than that they are cool. Btw, I've been watching since 2012. When they used to have reviews outside in the streets.

Lotta people don’t love positive vibes only, but when I listen to it, it really is a feel good song. Sonically definitely not for everyone. In the same lane that Art of seduction is not for everyone content wise but the sounds is good. Positive vibes only may not be for everyone sonically but actually I really like that song. It’s feel good music. And I personally feel like if it was put out by a raper who was wacker it would be more well received. It’s still a decent song, it might be a throwaway but when I let it play I really don’t mind it what he’s trying something new but the content is crisp. Just my opinion tho.
