JID’s The Forever Story: ALBUM REVIEW 

This album is INCREDIBLE!! It’s time to start giving JID his flowers!! He’s definitely one of the best rappers of of our generation!!

JID on the podcast ? 👀 we as a community need to try and make this happen!

This album is a work of art. He gets personal, he showcases his crazy flows, he has great soulful production and banging trap beats, he even kills his singing performances. This is so well rounded and it relieved me to hear that the album met the high expectations. Probably my AOTY but we’ll see how it ages compared to MMESYF and MM&TBS

Current AOTY for me. The versatility in his talent really gets to shine here. The chemistry with his guest features and the quality of the production bring it all together. TFS is an amazing body of work.

JID released an incredible album. It's safe to say he has one of the best 3-album runs in recent memory.

I love this album. Listened to it start to finish 5 times already. There's no skips, great choruses and production throughout, very good features, and every J.i.D. verse is incredible.

This album is AMAZING. JID's flows here are really impressive, this is his best album imo.

JID is unmatched.

Lauder Too is one of the best tracks of the year I'm calling it omfg! The best songs are both hard and beatiful

JID Is been my favourite up coming artist since 2018, he really makes good albums, I would say this is a 3 peat for albums

the forever story>mr morale and the big steppers

This album far surpassed my expectations. I thought it would be really good, but this is damn near better than The Never Story and JID not only delivers insane flows and performances, but he actually gives us some melodies on "Kody Blu 31" and his performance on "Crack Sandwich" is just bonkers. 9/10 on the first listen. A work of art.

JID is so incredible. Give this man his flowers he is insane. This album showed so much diversity and overall he performed incredibly.

You guys are spot on once again. Still more to unpack but I love this album so far.

Great reaction. Love your content and Jid is one of my absolute favourites. Glad people love it as much as me. AOTY

Just wanted to say I’ve been following this podcast for a while now and it’s super dope to see how far you guys have came, no way you guys don’t become #1 hip hop podcast here soon

holy fuck, this album blew me away on my first listen...might give Push/Black Thought & DM a run for their AOTY money

After months of listening I think this is actually my favourite album of all time

i think you guys are tripping about the durk feature. he was one of my favourites on there the way he synced his bars with the beat in the first part of his verse was so satisfying

You guys hit the nail on the head regarding everything. I think it’s my AOTY, if not top 2-3 and definitely one of the best of the 2020’s so far. His flows, content matter, production, bars etc were all nearly flawless. I wasn’t huge on the Durk feature but it’s grown on me after a few listens as it still fits thematically as you guys mentioned. JID delivered a masterpiece!! Well worth the wait.

Album was great, crazy flows, great bars, amazing performance, I give it a solid 8.5/10. Also, JID announced DiCaprio 3 produced by DJ DRAMA

JID album was amazing mixture of flows, styles of music , cadences like you said he definitely made us happy with this project definitely one of the top hip hop albums of the year in 2022 I love he keeps it authentic

I’m so happy about this man I can’t express this enough. I finally feel like we got an album that DESERVES that number one spot. MMESYF was great but it just didn’t leave much of an impact on me. MMATBS was also amazing but felt just a little underwhelming. But the first listen of this JID album actually took me aback. I’m so excited we got something like this.

The Forever Story… WOW. This album is absolutely incredible. The concept, the production, the features, JID’s performance and how he’s able to portray his thoughts and life story’s, it’s all done to the highest level. My personal favourite song is Sistanem, one of if not my favourite song of the year. Album of the year 100%. I’ve been saying this for a long time now but DREAMVILLE ON TOP!!! What an experience.

“I’m a fucking artiste, Artest with a gun I can give my World Peace” This man had flows and bars for days on this album! This may his best one yet!

Keep it up you this is my favorite podcast on youtube

I think it's time to add JID to the greatest lyricist of this generation, this album is the best album I've heard in a while.

Album Of The Year Definitely

This Album was flawless Perfect rating Ari Lennox spaz To blend R&B w Hip-Hip so effortlessly & the creatively to make it everyone sampling old-school R&B nowadays no originally Instant Classic

I remember listening for the first time yesterday and i went insane. I thought that this album had top 5 of the year potential but it was way better than that. I feel like every year has THAT one album. And i feel like this is THAT album for this year

This is for sure my album of the year

It's really hard to pick a favorite off this album because of how consistent it is

I was also impressed by his singing ability 🔥 🔥

100 percent my album of the year!!

Favorite RU-vidrs reviewing my favorite rapper hell yeah

Blew my expectations away!

Best Hip Hop channel on RU-vid

Nah this album too fire. 🔥 Perfect album imo

keep on swanging on

This my album of the year for sure.

Haven't watched the review yet but anything less than Amazing for this album is understating the quality/replay-ability

I think this album will be a classic in JID’s discography no skips on it for me

And here I thought Denzel would be running away with AOTY

Love you guys!! Love your content!! Love JID ❤️💙

I stopped listening to rap for almost a couple years now. Never thought I’d go back but this really changed that for me. JID blessed us with this and now we know there isn’t a big 3 anymore. It’s just a big 1 for this new generation. Time to give this man his flowers. 10/10

I know I’m late but I just I heard this and it was so amazing, also hella hyped for Utopia tomorrow

This is the first jid album I’ve ever listened to. Listening to this project has def made me curious about his older albums

i can’t believe i’m saying this but this album has knocked MMATBS for my album of the year. absolutely fantastic i can’t find anything wrong with anything on this album

My first JiD album and I gotta say it was enjoyable. Very great projects this year, BUT, not necessarily enjoyable projects. Some are super amazing like a Lupe and Kendrick's, but not necessarily vibers like this project or Vinyl Days. Anyway, nice job JiD!

Amazing album so glad to see JID get better and better

Relisten to durks verse on the album. Just think about how different that beat is compared to everything he does right now. I thought the song was gonna be a sell out for a popular rap feature but durk came through with a really good verse that amped up the energy of the song and thematically stuck to jids vision. I was super impressed

Album of the year for sure. I also think it’s amazing but over time I think it might slide into perfect

Over a year later, this album is a certified classic. One of the best hip-hop albums I've ever heard... this is JID's Good Kid, M.A.A.D City moment, and you know he is only gonna level up with the next one. If his verse on Westside Gunn's new project is a peek at his new shit, BOIII HE GOATED

It's between this and MMATBS for me for AOTY, both were so good

AOTY for me fs, listened to it like 5 times at work today, im obsessed

Okay, maybe a hot take, but it reminds me heavily of the best Dot albums. Where the albums has no room for "radio music" so it can dedicate 200% towards the messages and meanings behind each track

I was in history class when listing to the album…it was silent af and when the surround song I straight up said “HOLY SHIIIITTT”

Listened to the album for lil Wayne. Now I'm a jid fan..solid project

We need a Cheat Codes review. That one and JID have brought the 🔥🔥 the last few weeks. AOTY contenders for sure!

Melt my Eyez , Forever Story ,2000 Vinyl days holy shit best year for my ears

This album was so dope definitely one of his best projects. JID if going to one of the ones up at the top definitely the forever story is my Album of the year it's so good 🔥🔥🔥

Reviewing an album after one day is insane, never understood how people could actually appreciate and digest the music that fast.

17:52 the voice crack!!!!! Love it

Thanks for tha video

This album easily deserves the PERFECT rating

I couldn't believe my ears tbh. I've listened to all the main albums this year multiple times and no album has created a stronger reaction on me than this one right here. Every song on here is fucking incredible (maybe besides "Just In Time", but it's still an amazing song). The creativity in this album destroys everything on Dicaprio 2 and J.I.D is finding flow pockets that make my head bop to neckbreaking speeds. WTF?! This is EASILY AOTY!! By a long shot, and I'm not even that much of a J.I.D fan. Dicaprio 2 was only ok in my eyes, but here he sounds like he has something to prove and really wants that number one spot, not commercialy, but as an MC/artist. When it comes to pure skill, then J.I.D is definitely among the big 3 (actually 4 now), but he is missing that commercial hit, but the type of rap music that become hits is not the type of music J.I.D makes. I think if J.I.D came up with Kendrick and Cole, he would easily be among the big 3. Best tracks: Almost everything (Especially: Money, Bruddanem, Can't Make U Change, Crack Sandwhich, Stars (first half), Kody Blu 31,....so many wtf?) Worst tracks: Just In Time (but still good, Wayne ate that track up)

Melt My Eyez still clears

It’s album of the year by a mile, its the best put together rap music album I’ve heard in years!!!

incredible album my number 3 this year

did anyone notice that he recreated the never story album cover with this new project,it’s a great project

This review aged like fine wine,,,,,👍

Easily album of the year!

HAVE to review cheat codes. Its also skipless in my opinion and its probably my aoty if not then denzels and i havent listened to JIDs enough to fully digest it

It's definitely on my top ten for Hip Hop this year! This was my first introduction to JID and I have nothing but praise for it! Listened to it nearly five times today, and it's such an incredible project. Here are my 2022 rankings so far for hip hop: 1. Kendrick Lamar, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (10/10: AOTY) 2. Danger Mouse & Black Thought, Cheat Codes (10/10: Now in my top 20 for HH) 3. Conway the Machine, God Don't Make Mistakes (9/10: Now in my top 100 for HH) 4. Billy Woods, Aethiopes (9/10) 5. Denzel Curry, Melt My Eyez, See Your Future (9/10) 6. JID, The Forever Story (9/10) 7. Lupe Fiasco, Drill Music in Zion (9/10) 8. Earl Sweatshirt. SICK! (9/10) 9. Rico Nasty, Las Ruinas (8/10) 10. Joey Bada$$, 2000 (8/10) 11. Pusha T, It's Almost Dry 12. Benny the Butcher, Tana Talk 4 (8/10) 13. Yung Lean, Stardust (8/10) 14. curren$y, continuance (8/10) 15.

I feel like Crack Sandwich beat at the beiginning sound like "1985" by J cole

perfect album, 10/10, his beat album

Raydar/Kody Blu is so good.

Best Rap Albums Of 2022 In My Opinion: 1. JID - The Forever Story 2. Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers 3. Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future 4. Joey Bada$$ - 2000 5. Pusha T - It’s Almost Dry 6. Lloyd Banks - The Course Of The Inevitable 2 7. Benny The Butcher - TANA TALK 4 8. Conway The Machine - God Don’t Make Mistakes 9. Snoop Dogg - Back On Death Row 10. Wiz Khalifa - Multiverse

Album of the year so far is Roc Marciano and The Alchemist The Elephant Man's Bones followed by Black Thought and Dangermouse Cheat Codes. JID The Forever Story would be in the top 5 AOTY so far for sure

This one was of the best listens I've had in a minute. JID and Kendrick are definitely front runners for AOTY.

So far this is a decent 9 for me. Fucking wild. May even hit the 10. Very catchy and fun to listen to the lyrics.

My Album of the year!!!

It's the album of the year 🔥

NGL this is either best if not second best album of the year I love JID

nfr with the verification badge👀

Extremely Amazing album

if you guys didn’t know, the closer to the album was supposed to be a song called “2007”. they couldn’t get the sample cleared, but you can still find the song. would’ve been an absolutely beautiful ending to the album

It’s a crime this album wasn’t Grammy nominated.

It's my #4 of the year just barely behind Conway, Lupe, and Denzel.

The album was incredible🔥🔥🔥 An aoty contender for sure.

Album of the year 100%

Album of the year hands down

Man I love it, AOTY 🔥

You guys must review roc marciano and the alchemists project!

if there were a big 3 of the 2020s JID definitely on that list

What’s the album behind Lu’s head to the left?

This album is a great link to The Never Story🔥🔥🔥

JID and Saba AOTY so far Denzel very close runner up Also so bittersweet having two kenny mason features and no verse

Kodak Blu 31 & Stars is 🔥🔥

This album is perfect
