Not really into the N.E.R.D. album- I usually don't care for when Pharrell dips into rock/pop-punk or whatever which is all over the project- but "Lightning Fire Magic Prayer" is dope. I wish he played in that lane on a few more tracks.

THIS MOTHERFUCKER SAMPLED ZOMBIE? What the fucking hell.
Okay, a couple of real good tracks to end the album. Castles and Arose are easily the highlights of the album. But like 4-5 songs worth a shit are not an acceptable ratio. The ones where he's trying to be funny or political are garbage, but the tracks where he drops the bullshit and tells a story are good.
Jay had to learn how to drop the facade and just talk to the peoples on 4:44. Somebody in Em's camp, probably himself, didn't explain that the kids aren't going to relate to a 40 year old rapper no matter what and the ride-or-die fans aren't impressed with a lineup of crappy pop hooks or rewarmed raps about farts.
If this album was a 8-10 song EP with Em just talking about shit like Castles or Bad Husband, it'd be a pretty damn good album. But you have to go 7 tracks deep to find one that isn't complete trash. And sampling Zombie is goddamn unforgivable.

The thing with Jay and Em though is that Jay's always been more conversational. On most Jay tracks it feels like he's sitting there with you just talking. Em though always feels like he's rapping to you. Stan and Toy Soldiers are some of his only songs where it feels like he's not rapping but just straight talking or in Stan's case reading letters. Even on those tracks it's hard to think of any bad lines from the guy because he's not trying to be all "rappidy rap rap" with you he's just like "ok this is how it is, so me and Ja-" which is why they were dope.
Not related to Hip-Hop but SZA has an unbelievable breakout year too. Kinda crazy given we kind of ripped on TDE/her for never putting an album out.
Bless up Courage.
N.E.R.D's first two albums are some of my favorites ever. I like all their albums but this newest one will likely join the first two.
I do remember that first album getting a lot of love. It always sounded like a random mish mash of songs along with a few super thug rehashes (lapdance and truth or dare) to me. Hella hard to listen to.
Their first two albums are some of my all-time faves. Yeah, the lyrics are cheesy, but I got a huge love for that sweet Neptunes sound.
I do love the Neptunes in that era, maybe the last two albums just made me forget what I loved about the first two.
I didn't like their last two either, though Seeing Sounds had a few nice tracks at least.
Hottie on Saturation III is so catchy. Heard it several times, can't get enough.
Best track is probably Stupid.

This RJ x DJ Mustard album is not going to change anyone's mind about Mustard, it's still more similar sounding beats, which I'm cool with cause they're cool and not exactly bad. I think RJ and Mustard have fantastic chemistry (Main Bitch still goes today), so that's a plus, but I just don't think anything really stands out on here and that might just be the one or two years that were just saturated with work from Mustard. The beat on All 4s tho.. whew. I wouldn't recommend it to people as there's so much else out there, but FWIW its aight.
