i don’t think it’s a coincidence that lp dropped just a month after the new injury reserve. these albums are truly pushing the boundaries of what hip hop can do right now and it’s fucking insane
vince staples, cmiygl, king’s disease 2, melodic blue, the house is burning, roadrunner, donda (maybe controversial, i liked a lot), bttigtp, and now this heavenly peggy drop‼️ i’m probably forgetting quite a few but damn has this year been amazing
Peggy is the self-made musician's musician. He writes, raps, sings, produces, mixes and masters all of his material, which is insane. Even after releasing four albums, he still continues to self-make everything which is something I absolutely admire about him. As someone that finds it difficult to find other musicians to work with, Peggy is inspirational.
When all you need is freaking laptop and software for few hundred bucks, there's nothing unreachable if you have time. The other question - is peggy successfull? That's harder than writing good music actually.
Peggy's music manages to sound like an alien from the future has made it but at the same time also manages to sound very lovely and endearing, I honestly don't know how he does it
Dirty is one of the best songs he’s made. The beat and production is insane! Also, the horns that kick in on The Ghost of Ranking Dread is one of the best things I’ve heard this year so far.
@@coloripple yeah, I'd say 3rd and 4th place go to are you with that? and falling out the sky, maybe something from donda or call me if you get lost at #5
it samples a godly brazilian song called 'Saudade Vem Correndo', by Stan Getz and Luiz Bonfá which I'm sus to talk about because I love it. You should check it out!
I'm just glad that I FINALLY agree with Fantano on highly rated albums this year other than Little Simz. I thought she would have the only real good Fantano approved album. Spellling= wack. That other weird broad's album= wack. That by the time I get to Tucson or whatever = wack. This and SIMBI = fire 🔥
I was shocked he played that live with all the sample drama. At our show he even explained it wasnt about money the estate just didn't want him to use the song period.
The full version of WHAT KIND OF RAPPING IS THIS? just makes the song even more amazing. I love the way the beat slowly evolves in the added section until the part where the online version begins

Damn, everyone says that this year has been so strong for music, which I couldn't really stand behind for some reason, but seeing all these albums bunched up...holy shit it's true
The only sad thing is, his album isn’t trending anywhere. It’s so good and so much better than anything trending or on the charts. But it’s not mainstream. Which I’m not saying it should be. But for the most part this music just never gets noticed in the light it truly deserves. That’s okay though because we can all be here to experience it regardless. And I can get weird looks when playing this around others who just don’t get it
tyler, kanye, little simz, nas' resurgence, Dave, Peggy, and maybe Kendrick, ALL JUST HIPHOP. Even the experimental scene, the rock scene, all filled with such great music. I agree
I find the moment that sticks out to me the most and one of the best moments is on END CREDITS! With that legendary Arn Anderson ‘Glock’ promo, but then again I’m a wrestling mark and love all of Peggy’s wrestling references.

Peggy really don’t be missing! This is really an amazing project. Especially HAZARD DUTY PAY, DAM! SICK, NERVOUS, & BROKE! Peggy stepped out of his box and made a new one. Peggy needs to be in the goat discussions from here on out.
Ngl i only liked 1539 N. Calvert Ave. the first time i listened through Veteran but slowly as my music taste has expanded, all of Veteran has really amazed me. For this album to come out right around the time that i really started appreciating Veteran was perfect timing. Don't think it would've hit as hard without appreciating Veteran/Peggy's sound, this album is fire
This gives me the same inspiration for rap as to what Danny Brown’s XXX album did for me. It gave me so much hope for rap, and for that we truly blessed to have him
This is more than likely my personal fave Peggy album thus far. It’s the most cohesive and best showcase of all of his skills thus far🔥🔥🔥AMHAC is a classic imo but this is just as great and amazing
While AMHAC was an album that I loved the more I listened to it (And became one of my favorite albums). This album was an instant slap. Peggy outdid himself, and I didn't think that was possible.
never felt this satisfied yet. production, pace, structure, all felt great, loved the samples, the quality, the mixing and mastering, the diversity, everything just wished that the representation of the art to the public wasn’t disrupted due to sample clearance issues otherwise, if it’s peggy’s last album for now, then just hoping for the best, he’s been giving his core fan base a lot of material that they can appreciate over the years, glad he can finally have his own sense of freedom
there's a cool thing about the "are you happy" track. in the beggining you can hear a sample of "transition" from galaxy 2 galaxy, a detroit techno album from some ofthe members of underground resistance
Anyone else think Denzel Curry either helped with or inspired some of the flows on this album? Peggy been insane with the lyricism and production, but now he making songs I can legit bop my head to the whole time
@@alexmartinelli6231 oh shit u right, I didn’t even realize. Only listened to the first half of the album before I decided to save it for when I have more free time and can really process it
I would also love to see a review on Asap Rocky’s 10 year anniversary of Love Live Asap! I’m wondering if you hear any differences in the mixing and mastering of the album.
peggy really doesn't miss. this album has to be my favourite yet with him going in a more alt-r&b direction which is beautifully weaved with his left field experimental hip hop style. also having bops like rebound and end credits on this lp makes LP! such an intriguing listen.
this is deadass probably my favorite album of all time. i honestly think that it’s perfect in every way. very few artists can capture a vibe like peggy can. there’s just an air around this album, this feeling attached to it. it’s amazing.
yessss, truly my favorite peggy album to date. maintains experimental nature of his music while being consistently more accessible than his previous stuff. absolutely fantastic
peggy is such a beast, the quantity (and quality) of music he put out is unmatched. not to mention this guy produces, mixes, and writes all of his songs.
i am saying it this is a 10/10 and will be considered a fucking classic. peggy has so much technical ability to craft the sounds in this album, its unreal. there is literally no one at his level production wise.
DAM! DAM! DAM! is one of his best songs ever in terms of construction and Peggy-ness, surprised it wasn’t on your favorite tracks list but what a masterpiece from Buttermilk Jesus!
"it kinda sounds like a beat you'd find on some obscure soundcloud producer's page that's packed with anime images" melon out here in the deepest of depths
the "beef" mentioned on rebound is actually beef w/ armand hammer and specifically elucid (you can look this up, it's a bit too complicated for me to sum up here), it's also elaborated on ghost of ranking dread
yea it feels super futuristic honestly it feels like peggy is way ahead of the curve and it makes sense that some people won't rly get it. i saw him live a few months back and lemme tell u it was the single best live performance ive seen. peggy just does not miss honestly
Wow this year has been really great for music. I have so much that i can listen to now! Just got to remember to listen most to the tens, then the nines and least to the eights.
💯 is probably my favorite track. The beat with the cold synths are just too good in my opinion. End Credits tho is my favorite in terms of bars and raw energy tho. Overall definitely a phat 9
The ideas in this album in my humble opinion are more interesting, diverse and fun than his other projects. The only problem for me is the complete shift in mixing aehstetic between his old project and this. In some tracks his voice is too buried and sometimes you can hear resonant frequencies in the track Dirty! Also in the first part of Tired, Nervous and broke. Some parts are a bit too raw, in Veteran it was contextualized but here it looses its meaning because some parts are heavenly mixed while other parts are not.
So glad I was able to catch the very first show of his tour supporting LP! The set list was off the charts, he even played HAZARD DUTY PAY! Full sample included of course
Mad that each project is missing such strong tracks. I absolutely LOVE the syncopated beat switch in Kissy Face Emoji! that's on the streaming version of the record but doesn't make the offline version. What an incredible record
im scared of peggy man. he just doesnt miss
i love everything about jpegs
well yknow being in the air force does that to ya
you would think he would make a mid album by now
_PEGI SUCKS_
_ESRB PWNS_
He has like 10 unreleased really old albums and only one of them is less than an 8 for me
i never thought another album would compete with injury reserve’s for my AOTY, but here we are. 2021 has been quite the year for music.
damn u have good taste *and* good commentary
i don’t think it’s a coincidence that lp dropped just a month after the new injury reserve. these albums are truly pushing the boundaries of what hip hop can do right now and it’s fucking insane

one of my favorite nights of my life
Saw him in Brooklyn on Wednesday. Amazing.
Was there his first concert of the tour in CA, it was dope as hell!
I was going to see him next month in Vancouver, but he had to cancel the Canada dates because of something that was out of his hands. Ugh.

this is honestly such a great year for music, jpeg dropped probably his best project yet
not top 2 but one of the best albums of the year
AMHAC is forever my favorite album of all time but yeah this is like third for me under veteran and it. maybe better than veteran

Agree. That Arn Anderson sample was fire. Amazed at how fast Peggy worked it in because that was still kind of recent.
OG! And NICE! were favourites for me on first listen, along with END CREDITS
My favorite track. One of Anthony's critiques of the album was that it was "too fleeting a moment". I take that to mean he wishes it was longer.
thank you for saying this it’s one of the best in the album
One of my favorites off of the album !!

peggy really doesn't miss. this album has to be my favourite yet with him going in a more alt-r&b direction which is beautifully weaved with his left field experimental hip hop style. also having bops like rebound and end credits on this lp makes LP! such an intriguing listen.
I love how genuine this comment section is, I've just been getting into Peggy and the love is so deserved
I REALLY wish I listened to the offline version for my first listen
I literally can’t stop listening to this album. Like nothing sounds as interesting and bold as this imo.
The way Fantano made sure to annunciate “hit that up or the link” at the end was amazing.
Lmao
It was apparent he had to do several takes before he got. it. right.
The production on this album is insanely captivating. Such a talented artist!
He dropped the AOTY and the second AOTY on the same day, wow
this is deadass probably my favorite album of all time. i honestly think that it’s perfect in every way. very few artists can capture a vibe like peggy can. there’s just an air around this album, this feeling attached to it. it’s amazing.
yessss, truly my favorite peggy album to date. maintains experimental nature of his music while being consistently more accessible than his previous stuff. absolutely fantastic
peggy is such a beast, the quantity (and quality) of music he put out is unmatched. not to mention this guy produces, mixes, and writes all of his songs.
Unbelievably talented. Shocked at how he can be so diverse
i am saying it this is a 10/10 and will be considered a fucking classic. peggy has so much technical ability to craft the sounds in this album, its unreal. there is literally no one at his level production wise.
The fact that he's produced, mixed, and mastered all of his projects just show you how much of a beast Peggy truly is
If it was called "The LP! Store" you would have given it a 10
DAM! DAM! DAM! is one of his best songs ever in terms of construction and Peggy-ness, surprised it wasn’t on your favorite tracks list but what a masterpiece from Buttermilk Jesus!
Peggy and Injury Reserve both getting 9s in the same year in the span of a month is some beautiful divine justice
Divine justice these nuts I destroyed you in the pusha t section
Dirty! Is one of his hardest and grimiest songs to date
"it kinda sounds like a beat you'd find on some obscure soundcloud producer's page that's packed with anime images" melon out here in the deepest of depths
I'm so glad you loved this as much as I did, it's so replayable
even Tyler in the back is disappointed in how long this took you 😞😩
i love reading these comments and seeing a “this track is my fav” for ever single track. just a testament to how good this record is
best thing he's done so far, in my eyes. easily my favorite album of the year, so incredible.
the "beef" mentioned on rebound is actually beef w/ armand hammer and specifically elucid (you can look this up, it's a bit too complicated for me to sum up here), it's also elaborated on ghost of ranking dread
I like Billy Woods, I'm glad the beef is over.
@@christopherlee9026 trust me, me too. it was mainly with elucid but all of the disses on this album are to armand hammer as a whole
@@jordanowen49 why’d he mention it if it’s over? Unless they squashed it after the song?
@@Pray4FLYGOD seems like they solved after the song was written/came out
Ha, i thought the baking soda line was a armie hammer diss im dumb .
LP! is fantastic, glad you did a full review
Stunning album. peggy recent run has been nothing short of sensational
this album is from 2500 bro its really that good
yea it feels super futuristic honestly it feels like peggy is way ahead of the curve and it makes sense that some people won't rly get it. i saw him live a few months back and lemme tell u it was the single best live performance ive seen. peggy just does not miss honestly

Can't believe you don't have BALD! and BALD! REMIX on your fav tracks. Those were easily some of my favorite tracks of 2020.
He reviewed the offline version which doesn’t have them on the album
Shits been out for more than a year man
those are ep1 tracks technically but yes GREAT tracks
@@lorenz0 ....did you read my comment? I said 2020. It was released Feb 2020.
@@bubble.mp4 ahh I see
Glad you reviewed the offline version
Thanks for the enunciation at the end there Melon, really helped stick the landing.
My man Peggy getting the score he deserves
Wow this year has been really great for music. I have so much that i can listen to now! Just got to remember to listen most to the tens, then the nines and least to the eights.
i knew this was going to get a great review the moment peggy said “i love screwing with the cops, i’m lana”
Bruh
I am SO excited to see him live tomorrow. It'll be my first time seeing him live and it will be my first concert since the start of the pandemic.
💯 is probably my favorite track. The beat with the cold synths are just too good in my opinion. End Credits tho is my favorite in terms of bars and raw energy tho. Overall definitely a phat 9
The ideas in this album in my humble opinion are more interesting, diverse and fun than his other projects. The only problem for me is the complete shift in mixing aehstetic between his old project and this. In some tracks his voice is too buried and sometimes you can hear resonant frequencies in the track Dirty! Also in the first part of Tired, Nervous and broke. Some parts are a bit too raw, in Veteran it was contextualized but here it looses its meaning because some parts are heavenly mixed while other parts are not.
2023 gonna be scary Peggy gonna drop 3 album 😈
I clicked the upworthy link at the end, thanks Tony
I just don't understand how Peg just hits so many homers. This album is AMAZING. Every Peggy album is just top-tier.
LP! Roadrunner, and Injury Reserver really stole my heart this year. Only album that got me good was Lord Hurons new Album.
Lmaoo, the way he stresses saying "HIT THAT UP OR THE LINK" due to the whole reddit argument thing and laughing at the end, is so funny
So glad I was able to catch the very first show of his tour supporting LP! The set list was off the charts, he even played HAZARD DUTY PAY! Full sample included of course
Definitely Peggy’s most upworthy record to date.
wish u had mentioned 🔥 (KISSY FACE EMOJI!). one of the best on the albums dude those SYNTHS bro?
This is my personal favourite singer songwriter album
dog end credits was inspiring, i literally could see that sound becoming a whole movement and genre wtf antkneee
The beat on Are U Happy makes me insecure as a producer
Loved this one front to back. “Are U Happy?” with the Gangsta Boo sample has been on repeat.
What's the name of the song that he samples?
Great review but you misspelled 10/10
loved the spacing on "hit that up or the link to subscribe to the channel"
the OFFLINE version is superior imo, great review so far 🤝
This was my first interaction with Peggy and was amazing. I like LP! offline more but still one of the best albums I ever heard in 2021.
Can we talk about how insane the production was on DIKEMBE??
Ghost-Pop Tape classic review? Or maybe a worst to best from Devon Hendryx to Jpegmafia... Please
I love how he slowly and robotically said the whole "hit that up or the link" part because of the whole "upworthy link" discrepancy lmao
Mad that each project is missing such strong tracks. I absolutely LOVE the syncopated beat switch in Kissy Face Emoji! that's on the streaming version of the record but doesn't make the offline version. What an incredible record
So happy to see everybody enjoying this album as much as I did THIS SHIT IS DIFFERENT
IM SO MAD I WAS SUPPOSED TO SEE HIM NEXT WEEK IN TORONTO BUT IT GOT CANCELED.
