@@qaqtix6700 It’s my third fav album OAT. Fairly new to hip hop and music but from the few hundreds of albums I’ve listened too, it’s the second best hip hop album so far.
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.
@@dadorage1695 Far too abstract for me, and I don't like his voice, and maybe I'm too dumb for his lyrics, but I don't understand what he is saying at ALL. But his beat selection is interesting.
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
@@Zaay_ I would of put MM&TBS higher if it was more consistent, some of the songs were a bit rough sonically imo. Neither TFS or MMESYF had a single skip on them for me, I just liked jids albums vibe more than Denzel's.
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.
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
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.
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 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
i completely agree with them on first listen and even now durk just seemed like he wasnt there to try get one of the best features off the album like mos def or earthgang he was just decent that's it imo.
@@mitchiegotmovesy7635 danger mouse - their new album that was 15yrs in the works (originally as 'dangerous thoughts') delivered biiiigtime - def better then kendrick, and giving push a run for his money but now so is JID - those three my favs this year for sure...but its only august!
Don’t sleep on melt me eyez. Iv had that as album of the year so far, after about 20 something listens. Once I get 10-20 listens through this JID project I’ll see how I’m feeling haha. But I think melt my eyez is better than Mr morale overall. Both incredible though. Also shoutout to west side boogies album more black superhero’s, def one of the best of the year so far
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
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.
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
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.
“Give your world either, big dick or grief I can give your girl either, she could be the collapse of a kingdom, but kings gotta peep his seat, word to Caesar”
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
@@yoloslapss8389 bro opened his song wit “can’t spell us without trust “ like bro 😂 and that’s on one of tha best songs on there. my main problem is that tha best song were released before it came out and even then i would say i only like 8 out of 14 songs which is a little above mid so yea he gets like a 6
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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.

@@dadorage1695 Yes! It was the one that needed the most growth from me, but it's an album I return to now more than ever! Features are fire too! Was stoked to see EL-P spitting on this!
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)
yeah i pretty much agree, but bro his worst track with wayne is like perfect balance cuz he was able to propell it with wayne feature and show his hunger + rapping like wayne to show his appreciation to him as one of his idols/inspirations. that just sick.
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
This is a very good album, albeit a very ‘safe’ album. I would’ve liked to see him take more risks, sonically and lyrically. That being said, I’ll be playing this album for awhile. Kenny and Billy Woods are still my favourites for 2022.
Crazy word play, crazy flow, crazy messages, and I love how much he uses female vocals, I think the industry needs more of that as a whole. Easily album of the year for me
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
I'd suggest anyone who have this album as their AOTY to listen to Aethiopes by Billy Woods, nothing wrong with having your own opinion but I feel like most people who have it as AOTY only heard mainstream-ish albums like Kendrick, Push, Denzel and I want to take that attention for people to branch out and realize that this year is amazing for the underground. Albums like DMIZ or Aethiopes are way more important than The Forever Story in my opinion in the way they push boundaries and push hip-hop further, this album is still good.
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 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 🔥🔥🔥
I think track to track to track, JID got Kenny beat. His consistently outflowing any and everyone I listen to. Kendrick can flow his ass off though and imo still a better overall artist than JID by a wide margin. JID special though
@@yaniv8792 I agreed artistically speaking Kendrick is the better artist but if u go flows for flows, their technicality and their bars, idk i feel like JID got a little edge
@yfn_iceyy yeah bro i feel like with this album he went god mode with his flow thats why i Wonder if we can consider if hes in that god tier list with kdot when we speaking about flows
@@darceyedmond7555 brooo this is so nice to hear. ima kdot fan and i think jid flows is so masterful yeah. I mean the first thing that most ppl come to say it jid is hes one of the goats in flows. but his technically and schemes are second to none.
As a 16 years old,the last 4 years of my life have been influenced by JID’s music/rap.he’s one of the best rappers of this generation and my personal favorite rapper of all new gen rappers,his new album has to be AOTY
I have to give this another listen but the album is really good I won't say AOY yet but pretty good project I really dislike fans saying AOY right off like it's very good but MM&BS is AOY I think jid album imo is second best hip-hop album release but people have their opinions but the biggest night in music will decide AOY and you'll have some that say the grammys is nothing yeah they make mistakes on nominations and giving awards but they're still the accolade 90 100% of music artists want on their resumes no matter what some might say great album from jid but im sticking with MM&BS as AOY people just handed that accolade out this yr like it's candy lol like jid album is new calm down smh.

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)
Just in time was on my top3 :D And something like cant make u change and bruddanem are on my worst 4 ( still great tracks no misses)
yeah i pretty much agree, but bro his worst track with wayne is like perfect balance cuz he was able to propell it with wayne feature and show his hunger + rapping like wayne to show his appreciation to him as one of his idols/inspirations. that just sick.
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
Yes! Cheat codes is getting slept on
I feel like Crack Sandwich beat at the beiginning sound like "1985" by J cole
It’s a crime this album wasn’t Grammy nominated.
Dang
Favorite TH-camrs reviewing my favorite rapper hell yeah
Reviewing an album after one day is insane, never understood how people could actually appreciate and digest the music that fast.
Amazing album so glad to see JID get better and better
This is a very good album, albeit a very ‘safe’ album. I would’ve liked to see him take more risks, sonically and lyrically. That being said, I’ll be playing this album for awhile. Kenny and Billy Woods are still my favourites for 2022.
It’s album of the year by a mile, its the best put together rap music album I’ve heard in years!!!
This review aged like fine wine,,,,,👍
Raydar/Kody Blu is so good.
Crazy word play, crazy flow, crazy messages, and I love how much he uses female vocals, I think the industry needs more of that as a whole. Easily album of the year for me
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.
Album of the year 100%
Lil Durk was fine, it just felt out of nowhere in the context of the album, didn't really fit, imo.
worse track
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
There is an extended version with the track now
Love you guys!! Love your content!! Love JID ❤️💙
We need a Cheat Codes review. That one and JID have brought the 🔥🔥 the last few weeks. AOTY contenders for sure!
It's my #4 of the year just barely behind Conway, Lupe, and Denzel.
Idk I might have this ahead of Lupe and Zel and Lupes my favorite OAT
Lupe crazy lyrical but his sound sounds pale in comparison to jid
@@tahapunisher yeah thats always been my problem with lup he just sounds kind of bland, he might be the best lyricist of all time tho.
yall need to go back and review EARTHGANG - Ghetto Gods. dreamville is on top by far!
Melt my Eyez , Forever Story ,2000 Vinyl days holy shit best year for my ears
did anyone notice that he recreated the never story album cover with this new project,it’s a great project
AOTY for me fs, listened to it like 5 times at work today, im obsessed
I'd suggest anyone who have this album as their AOTY to listen to Aethiopes by Billy Woods, nothing wrong with having your own opinion but I feel like most people who have it as AOTY only heard mainstream-ish albums like Kendrick, Push, Denzel and I want to take that attention for people to branch out and realize that this year is amazing for the underground. Albums like DMIZ or Aethiopes are way more important than The Forever Story in my opinion in the way they push boundaries and push hip-hop further, this album is still good.
Which other underground rappers would you suggest listening to? Mention at least 20 or less please.
@MEYER RICCARDO It can but it's not a given, mainstream is not where quality has been
The album was incredible🔥🔥🔥 An aoty contender for sure.
This album is perfect
It's the album of the year 🔥
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 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 🔥🔥🔥
JID and Saba AOTY so far Denzel very close runner up
Also so bittersweet having two kenny mason features and no verse
We can started to say that his flow is better than kendrick. Let's argue
I think track to track to track, JID got Kenny beat. His consistently outflowing any and everyone I listen to. Kendrick can flow his ass off though and imo still a better overall artist than JID by a wide margin.
JID special though
@@yaniv8792 I agreed artistically speaking Kendrick is the better artist but if u go flows for flows, their technicality and their bars, idk i feel like JID got a little edge
@yfn_iceyy yeah bro i feel like with this album he went god mode with his flow thats why i Wonder if we can consider if hes in that god tier list with kdot when we speaking about flows
@@darceyedmond7555 brooo this is so nice to hear. ima kdot fan and i think jid flows is so masterful yeah. I mean the first thing that most ppl come to say it jid is hes one of the goats in flows. but his technically and schemes are second to none.
I can understand if you say right now but all time, Hell no!
if there were a big 3 of the 2020s JID definitely on that list
As a 16 years old,the last 4 years of my life have been influenced by JID’s music/rap.he’s one of the best rappers of this generation and my personal favorite rapper of all new gen rappers,his new album has to be AOTY
Album of the year Rn
Still Aethiopes by Billy Woods for me
@@dadorage1695 I’ve never heard of Aethiopes before I will have to check it out
@@Jaybobmcgee04 it’s dope
I have to give this another listen but the album is really good I won't say AOY yet but pretty good project I really dislike fans saying AOY right off like it's very good but MM&BS is AOY I think jid album imo is second best hip-hop album release but people have their opinions but the biggest night in music will decide AOY and you'll have some that say the grammys is nothing yeah they make mistakes on nominations and giving awards but they're still the accolade 90 100% of music artists want on their resumes no matter what some might say great album from jid but im sticking with MM&BS as AOY people just handed that accolade out this yr like it's candy lol like jid album is new calm down smh.
JID becoming one of my favorites ever rn
Kodak Blu 31 & Stars is 🔥🔥
Definitely my AOTY
Melt My Eyez still clears
I'm sorry but the production is perfect
