Westside Gunn - Pray for Paris
I remember when this album came out in 2020 right at the start of the pandemic getting kicked out of my dorm and sitting in rural PA listening to this shit wishing I coulda been back up north smoking with my friends.
This thing is exactly why people who don't listen to rap music are missing out. This album is just amazing beat after amazing beat with Flygod rapping some of the hardest shit imaginable. This is a man who came up from nothing in fucking Buffalo New York. Selling, fighting, struggling, and now you can hear his whole perspective. A good rap album can totally transport you into the perspective or world of the artists who puts it all together. This one makes you sympathize and understand what is going on in Westside's world, and it fucking rules.
Absolutely, a great listen if you know nothing about Griselda or the modern NY rap scene. Lotta metal heads who listen to rap only listen to shit from the 80's and 90's and maybe like a few random guys from the 2000's like Ye. But the scene is just as strong as it's been in decades, and Westside is one of the most popular in a competitive as fuck scene, and that's for a reason. His lyrics are dense as shit, and he's not ass at picking beats and working with producers like another famous NY rapper some metal fans love to spout off about (Nas). He also isn't making shit up and creating a false persona about what he's done (Also something Nas did..). Essentially this shit rules. Listen to it.

Big Pun - Capital Punishment
It’s a damn shame he wasn’t good to his family, but he’s dead now and listening to this record on streaming sends money to the family, and thank god I can justify listening to this morally because. Guys. Most underrated rap album of all time maybe? Just… dude. Big Pun was fucking DIFFERENT! The fucking flow he has on this. The linguistic tongue twisting ass insane bars on this thing. Fucking No BODY was doing it as well at the time. I don’t even know how he successfully pronounces the words as clearly and as quickly as he does. It’s genuinely fucking insane.
On top of that the production on this thing absolutely holds up it’s end of the bargain. This whole thing just makes you bounce around and become hypnotized by the punishers words. This is a linguistic attack. This shit just goes so hard. On the best part there’s an insane amount of variety for an album like this. Every song has its own story, it’s own sound, it’s own aesthetic, but they still fit together as a total product. Mind blowing record that I try to recommend to everyone I can.
