Reacting to "GO:OD AM" by Mac Miller

As I explain in my opening thoughts, this one just kinda lined up just right for starting off the new year. I'm glad I sat down with it, especially on a Friday when I had plenty of time to listen (nothing happening later that made me feel rushed). Enjoy that weekend, friends.

(MP3 Format) Reacting to "GO:OD AM" by Mac Miller

Got a good message about listening to this one before Divine Feminine, so decided to go for it since I had more time today and this is a longer album. Video is uploading now and should be ready in a couple hours.

Enjoy!

Reacting to "Vespertine" by Bjork

Been wanting to listen to this one for a long time now. Figured it'd make sense to do during the winter time (from what people have said). It's also an easy way to close out the year and enjoy something a little different.

If you're traveling for the holidays, stay safe! I hope you all get some relaxing and enjoyable days.

Enjoy!

Reacting to "Up 2 Me" by Yeat

Wanted something that was not lyrically intense today, something I could kick back and enjoy and give my poor brain a break. Next week, I'm breaking away from hiphop and will listen to Vespertine by Bjork, been wanting to get that one done while it's wintry weather outside.

Enjoy!

Reacting to "Light-Years" by Nas & DJ Premier

Sorry for the short delay, posting today instead of Friday. Feeling much better. Feeling like I dodged a bullet because last weekend my wife and son were both fighting something. Hope you all enjoy that weekend 🍻

Took me a few songs to warm up to this album, but I got there eventually. I can see why there are so many varied opinions about the production. Video is uploading now and should be ready somewhat soon.

My Top 50 Most Listened of 2025

This will post to YouTube soon (tomorrow or tonight), but I wanted to stick it here too. Both so you guys can have it early, but also because I'm expecting it to get blocked at some point (my top 100 albums vid got blocked)

Prepping to record today, feeling better (thank you for the well wishes). Either gonna be new Nas or new Conway, still choosing between the two.

Enjoy!

Pushing Recording to Saturday

I'm feeling pretty bleh this morning, stomach is not happy at all, so I'm gonna push recording to tomorrow. I probably could record if I forced myself, but I don't wanna be out of it and halfass anything. Really, I just wanna lay down on the couch for awhile

So reaction tomorrow, completely undecided on what I'll listen to, so feel free to spam suggestions

Reacting to "Mama's Gun" by Erykah Badu

Wanted to get another classic checked off the list this weekend (though I almost did Vespertine by Bjork instead). So glad I finally sat down with this one. Sorry it took so long, definitely deserves the praise it gets.

Enjoy that weekend, y'all. I get another chance to spend time with my son and my dad ❤️

Enjoy!

Reacting to "Meet the Woo 2" by Pop Smoke

I've been itching to hear more Pop Smoke since listening to "Meet the Woo," so I finally jumped in today.

I've been getting TONS of different requests lately. Lots of new music coming out in all directions. I'm taking time off work for the holiday week, so I'm hoping to get a couple more reactions done. Of what, I don't really know. The amount of requests has almost been overwhelming lately with so many people suggesting so many different albums.

Really wanna sit down with a classic for next Friday (recording early due to holidays)
Really wanna hear LUX by Rosalia (loads of requests for that)
Some underground projects have been mentioned a lot too

So, all that said, don't be surprised if you see some vids pop up out of nowhere

Enjoy!

Reacting to "MARCO PLUS vs Tha Underworld"

MARCO PLUS was an opening act for the JID concert I just went to in Sacramento this last Wednesday. He absolutely murdered the mic, so I wanna check out more of his music while he was still on my mind. Dude definitely has some shit to say.

If you're into lyrics, bars and flow, this album should sit with you well. Hopefully you'll enjoy the ride, I sure did 🤘

Enjoy!

Reacting to "Stardust" by Danny Brown

I hope everyone has the opportunity to give this album a chance. It's very different, for sure, but I feel like Danny is in such a positive place on this album. It's so nice to see where he is now from where he was before.

Enjoy that weekend, y'all, I'll be out in the desert riding dirt bikes with my dad again 🍻
