Honestly wasn’t expecting it to be good as it was. I think mayhem is good but he always fell in like that second tier of underground rappers imo. I’m a huge fan of this joint and this the best set of beats I’ve heard him on too
🔥 project. His food talk is on another level: octopus carpaccio, osso buco monkfish. Had to look those up! Loved the production. Hoping for more Allstars producer collabs. Another dope review!
Faaaacts!! When rappers be rap bout brands like Versace and restarants like Nobu, I be thinking I can go see that on my IG timeline right now...rap bout something stuff I gotta look up lmao! Same there's so many possibilities - I hope this is the start of a trend. Preciate the love as always!
Dream collab right there! As for the rapper - I think the best choice would be Freddie Gibbs. They both have a ton of chemistry with him and they're the producers responsible for Gibbs's 3 best projects.
I swear DJ Muggs be everywhere 🤣. Respect to the legend. This dude be working with so many people and his production stay going crazy. Salute to you for doing this project. Easily one of my go to content creators rn.
Yeah bro Muggs work ethic crazy!! I never really got into cypress hill like that but I been a huge fan of this part of his career. His 2021 run was legendary!! Salute!! I really appreciate the support! 🙏🏾
@@jaypeso1980s I know you're not asking me, but man this album just hits the spot for me. Starting to listen to more Meyhem now, since I had only heard him on Bronson's stuff before.
Everything I knew about Mayhem was from his feature verses on Actions stuff and his cameo's on Fuck Thats Delicious. This was a solid first impression though, Midnight Silk probably my fav track
Yeah, I knew him mainly from his features on various griselda albums. I've always seen him as a feature artist so I think this project will be great for his career. I love Midnight Silk with that beat change! My fav so far has been Big Money
This is my first full Meyhem album. First listen I couldn't even hear what he was saying because I was so drawn to the production. This video helped me catch some of the rhyme schemes and bars I missed and I'm warming up to Meyhem's voice and delivery a little bit more. I actually thought the Hologram song was an interesting palate cleanse (with all the gourmet food bars we were getting), and I'm glad it was on there. Great review!
Preciate the love!! Yeah I think this the best place to start for Mayhem - this better than any of his other projects I heard both from the production and from the rapping. Madlib and Muggs are both legends and they brought it fasho. As good as I thought Mayhem was, they were the stars to me. Haha he def sound like he been chain-smoking black and milds since middle school 😂 Ion mind it though when he rapping rapping! And I feel you on the hologram song.
Man I'm glad you listened to this one. I was sleeping on Mayhem but his feature on Bronson's Blue Chips 7k was insane. I really enjoyed the Daringer x Mayhem project from last year too. Keep crushing!
I’m late af brodie but yezzir!! It was a must listen with muggs and madlib but mayhem made it worth it! I rocked with the features and production from the Daringer joint last year but I thought it had bangers for sure. Which one you rocking with more outta this and the Daringer joint? I gotta go this one!
Preciate that brotha!! Shoot this gave ME a new perspective on Mayhem haha. When I saw this project announced, I thought out of all the great rappers they've reached worked with this, they coulda picked someone better. And while I do think they coulda picked plenty of other people, Mayhem brought it
@@zncuentertainment712 yezzir! I thought it was solid but I thought the beats and features carried it. I think the rapping on this album is considerably better than black Vladimir, and even tho I love Daringer - I think this production def better as well
@@BSideRapReviews agreed 100%, I think this project is better overall. Another Mayhem track that stays in rotation though is "Bonus Round" with Roc Marciano and Action Bronson, weak chorus but dope song.
I feel like Mayhem Lauren is kind of like God Fahim, when you compare him with the people he collaborates and the circles he hang in. He's generally better than God Fahim though, but not quite in the elite where some of his collaborators sit. Honestly the bars I heard when I checked out this album felt a bit too boring to me, I couldn't get into it, but your review has me hyped to go listen to it right now! DJ Muggs and Madlib though, that's a reason in itself to listen to the project. I would have played through it at some point. I just found the album Kilogram by Muggs and Al Divino the other day and I'm wondering if Sadhugold was with them when Muggs made those beats, some of that shit is out there! You should create a Discord server for your community bro! Chopping it up with folks from the comments here about this type of hip hop would be some shit. I am a total nerd about this music lane, more places to discuss would be fire imo!
Yeah bro I think this is a great analysis! I''m with him, I put him in like that mid tier but there's a ton of other mid tier guys who I'd put marginally above mayhem (at least up until this). Like I'd throw flee lord, daniel son, jae skeese, etc in that category and all of them are better than mayhem to me. Even his joint with Daringer, I thought it was mostly daringer and the features that made it enjoyable. Only difference with him and Fah is sometimes I'm not sure if Fah is even mid tier lmaoo. This album wasn't perfect on the rapping side but I saw a ton of improvement. After relistening, I def understand cus the punchlines were few and far between but I saw a significant upgrade in his lyricism and I was a fan of that. Brooo that's actually a huge goal! I want to get one started soon - like before the end of the month soon. Only thing holding me up is I've never even used discord before so I need to take a sec to research what the heck I'm doing and what I need but I should have that up soon. I'm in the same boat, i could nerd out bout rap all day!
Had to bro! Had to peep of the strength of Muggs and Madlib collabing alone, but Mayhem brought it as well. Yeah Big Money is my fav song on the album. One of them ones felt like the one closest to Muggs signature sound which I'm a huge fan of. Fresh Out The Water been one of my favorites as well. I'm not actually that surprised but I ended up liking more of the Muggs produced joints than the Madlib ones
It’s a vibe Fasho but I didn’t really care for it. The production was great but man I just don’t think Larry June is particularly good. Def has songs I’d throw on a playlist but it’s just a ton of really long stretches where he does nothing interesting rap wise, whether is bars, rhymes, flows - nothing. Al carries it to a point and like you said it’s a vibe. Gives me Dom Kennedy yellow tape vibes at points which is nostalgic to me. But even as good as Al is I don’t think it’s enough variety to keep me engaged for 45 mins. My fav blog Hip hop golden age has it as the number 2 AOTY so far but I have it nowhere close tbh
Came away very satisfied with this album. I didn’t love his project with Daringer last year, but when I saw he got Madlib and DJ Muggs to produce this, I was hype for this one! Meyhem came to spit on this one and the production was LACED. Outside of Scaring The Hoes, I think this had the best production of the year. I think the album lost a bit of steam with the Holograph track and having another skit follow that, but this is a top 5 album of the year for me so far!
Bro I swear - one of these reviews ima just let you handle it cus you be spot on with all your takes 😂. Yeah I thought the Daringer joint was decent and that’s about all I was expecting. Daringer was good but mayhem wasn’t good enough - every feature I was just sitting here wishing it was the other artists album lol. But he brought it this one - best performance outta anything I heard from him. I agree 2nd best produced joint if the year and I thought first half was stronger as well!
Damn TH-cam was buggin cause I ain't get any alerts from your channel for like 3 weeks. I'm at the point now where I watch your reviews before I even hear the album lol. I hope you get to that Estee Nack x V Don. That's been my go to for the last two weeks. As far as my man Laurenivichi, nah he been rapping like this for ten years at least. Y'all just been sleep.
They tryna hold us back haha! Bruh I been running behind on music, I haven't even got to the Nack and V Don joint yet - I gotta peep!! Maaaan, I aint heard his whole discog but I def haven't heard anything as lyrically crisp as this. Def not on his last joint. Matter fact, I dont even think he has a lot of features that are as good lyrically as this imo
@@BSideRapReviews Not recently that's true. The problem with his other projects for me is that they started off strong and then sagged in the middle but yeah he's definitely rapping like people are paying attention now lol.
Yeah bro that song is awesome! Him and Kenny Segal together is pretty much always sick and that first verse especially was something special! Do you know if he announced a project?
Ima check it out! I knew he was on action Bronson joint but I never got into it…cooking shows he making me hungry lol. Ima see what mayhem talking bout on his tho!
Excellent production but I just don’t think Larry Junes is a good rapper. Lot of great vibes on here and several songs to throw in a playlist but it’s just so many long stretches where nothing interesting is going on lyrically and there’s not enough variety or novelty to keep it engaging for 15 tracks. I don’t think you have to be a great or even good rapper to make a dope album but you gotta have something there. A blog I really respect hip hop golden age has it #2 AOTY but I just don’t see it. It’s 7-7.25ish outta 10 to me with Al doing most the heavy lifting
I peeped, I actually kinda rock with it. I thought all the Mach songs were sick but that 1000HP feature is IT! Believe it or not though, my fav song mighta been one that didn't even have a feature. Tha Finisher was the best beat on there - sadhu gold is just different and Fahim floated. It's not perfect but its one of the better EPs this year - day and night different from Iron Bull which I hated lmao
@@BSideRapReviews YOU SEE IT. The Sadhu beats I felt you needed to hear. I also loved Mach’s verse on Designer. He got hyaluronic mask to rhyme 🤦♂️. You real for checking it i always hear shit that I’d like you to peep merely bc you pick up the rhymes like crazy
Nahhh I’m sleep! I heard a couples songs off of it but haven’t listened to the whole project. Me and my wife just had our first kid so ya boy been behind on EVERYTHING! I gotta get to that, the hus kingpin joint, the 38 spesh joint, and the Fahim project!
What makes him on the same level as someone who’s truly top tier like Roc Marci? He doesn’t have a top tier discography - this is his best project by a large margin. His rhyme schemes, delivery, flows, punchlines, etc are all above average but he’s not elite at none of those.
@@BSideRapReviews you haven’t heard GEMS FROM THE EQUINOX? FROZEN ANGELS? Glass 1 & 2? All the tracks he did on Actions projects lol and hes super lyrical, spits luxury raps, crazy punches and metaphors, some of the slickest fly talk , flow is always crazy, why do you think MUGGS has so many projects with him?? Because hes mid? Lol
Bro that’s been the plan but I got lil B Side Jr as of a couple weeks ago and he been messing up the schedule lol. It’s looking real 1 a weekish for right now as far as reacting to new stuff but ima do my best 🤞🏾
meyhem lauren is one of my favorite emcees and this album is a masterpiece. i'm so glad you reacted to it.
Honestly wasn’t expecting it to be good as it was. I think mayhem is good but he always fell in like that second tier of underground rappers imo. I’m a huge fan of this joint and this the best set of beats I’ve heard him on too
@@BSideRapReviews you didn't hear black vladimir?
🔥 project. His food talk is on another level: octopus carpaccio, osso buco monkfish. Had to look those up!
Loved the production. Hoping for more Allstars producer collabs.
Another dope review!
Still dreaming of an Alchemist x Madlib collab tape with basically whatever artists they wanna feature on it lmao
Faaaacts!! When rappers be rap bout brands like Versace and restarants like Nobu, I be thinking I can go see that on my IG timeline right now...rap bout something stuff I gotta look up lmao!
Same there's so many possibilities - I hope this is the start of a trend.
Preciate the love as always!
Dream collab right there! As for the rapper - I think the best choice would be Freddie Gibbs. They both have a ton of chemistry with him and they're the producers responsible for Gibbs's 3 best projects.

"If your gonna talk luxury talk, make me feel broke"
Summed perfectly
