ur best reviewer on here bro fr love the breakdowns of the technicalities of rapping (while not overlooking concepts, content, etc) that i think ppl jus seem to gloss over nowadays… JID did sum special with this album 🔥 him and Marci fucked up my AOTY list lmao
Bro I honestly just be tryna get a lil bit better with each review and try to give some actual analysis so to get this type of response really means a lot bro 🙏🏾 really appreciate it! Man I was just saying how my AOTY list is in complete shambles lol! Bruh it was bad enough tryna figure out where roc fit in but now I’m having a hard time ranking just the albums that came out this month 😂
This album was amazing on levels. The content matter and storytelling, the production, the features were all amazing. Also this album is extremely versatile. This album is a great example of how to both great technological rapping but also make sonically pleasing songs. Forever Story is a top 5 AOTY.
You spot on bro! The thing I’m appreciating most about JID’s career so far is that every album showed significant improvement. Never story sounded good sonically and and had a lot of good melodic rap but only flashed the technical rapping. DiCaprio 2 had ridiculously good technical rapping, still sounded good sonically, but only flashed that depth and introspection. This joint sounded great sonically, the rapping was otherworldly, and the storytelling and introspection was excellent! Dude really perfecting his craft. Also i can’t remember last time he spit a mid verse
Preciate that! Ay it’s a muscle! I been a hip hop head since I was like 14ish so this just tests of listening to this plus a year and some change of getting comfortable with vocalizing all the stuff I listen to with this channel. Preciate the support 🙏🏾
Really appreciate that brodie! Same man, I been going back and forth with this and 2 other albums as my AOTY - still haven’t decided. Super glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the support ✊🏾
Hahah let’s goooo!!🙌🏾 Ay it’s really just paying it forward at this point cus folks in the community done put me on to so much since the channel started lol
This is JID best album by far and his most complex project since he started rapping. The 4 year break between DiCaprio 2 and The Forever Story was worth it no doubt. I always knew JID was capable of making an impeccable album since 2018. He knew how to keep his fans entertaine a long time with him being included in all 3 Dreamville projects, that Spillage Village compilation and all that singles from last year or 2. This album is his most personal one, his most focus, he had the best singing here, the best ideas, the best features, very good rhymes and flows and his best songs to date. I admit this is the album of the year and the best rap album of the last 2 almost 3 years. 🔥 I feel like a lot of artists forced themselves to release an album just to add some body of work in their discography such as Kendrick, Joey Badass, Logic, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Westside Gunn, Gunna, Nav with his new album, Young Thug with Punk, Drake, Kanye, Earl.
Bro ion think I coulda said it better!! With more listens, I got this album as 1 or 2, which is saying a lot because I think this, Mr Morale, ad cheat codes all woulda been AOTY last year. I still think Mr Morale is really special so haven’t decided between the 2 yet. I mentioned it in the intros but the crazy thing about DiCaprio 2 is to me it didn’t even feel like he was trying. Off the zoinkies and workout were personal but every thing else was just him rapping out of his mind. I thought if he honed in on a particular theme, he’d make a classic and this album is just that - a classic. And I personally only use that term a once every few years. I think this album catapulted catapulted him into the best artist of his era - esp out of the mainstream rappers, no one else after the Kendrick era of rappers is even close.
My guy!! I appreciate it! Ay I rock with the steady growth cus in still learning and tweaking plus I get to interact with everybody. Plus y’all let me rock out with my budget mic and recording off my phone so I’m tryna milk that as long as possible 😂
Fire for sure!! Kenny Mason is one of my fav rappers now. Him, JID, and GRIP are REALLY special imo. I prob won’t get around to a full reaction but angellic hoodrat Supercut was one of my fav albums of last year and I covered it briefly in my top 20 albums of the year video. I had it #9 and woulda prob had it higher but it was a rap list and he had a lot of songs where he didn’t rap. Pup and Fasho we’re both in my top 5 most streamed songs. I think it’s a good chance that he’ll drop a full length project this year. Did you check out that Pup Pack from a couple weeks ago? If so what did you think?
Preciate that! This and Mr. Morale are my number 1 and 2 albums of the year so far…which is kinda unexpected for me because my top albums are usually mostly underground every year. I had Denzel at number 1 for all of 1 week lol cus I thought that aethiopes project by Billy woods topped it. Right now I got Zel at my number 6 AOTY. It’s crazy because I think a solid 7 albums from this year would have competed for AOTY last year which show you how good of a year this has been
Ayyyy lets gooo! Preciate the sub brodie! Yeah sometimes I think i be reaching but I don’t put this one past JID lol. I had a lot of relistened after recording this and really impressed with his wordplay. DiCaprio 2 def had a lot of wordplay but the wordplay here was def more creative and intricate
The best reviewer in the game! I was waiting for you with this one. This album feels like a warm tshirt out of the dryer. An incredible body of work literally flawless. 2022’s aoty rankings is gonna be a bloodbath
Year??? Bruh album of the MONTH is a bloodbath LOL!! I felt good about my top 10 up til this weekend but JID and Roc Marci got it in shambles 😂 I think there’s a couple flaws but it’s not many and I think they lie outside of JID. I thought a couple of the beats and features were lack luster like I thought the Can’t Punk Me and Just In Time beats weren’t up to par with how good the rapping was. That and Durkio didn’t deserve to be on the album lol how he does he get a verse over Kenny mason. If you wanted a big game they shoulda got one of the YSL boys to rap through the jail phone 😂😂 But bro I thought DiCaprio 2 was excellent and I think this is easily an improvement over it. Worth the wait fasho. And bro I really appreciate the love!! ✊🏾
Anytime man, your attention to the craft is second to none. When Rap produces a gem like this it deserves to be critiqued by someone who shows the genre the respect it deserves
Yo Preciate it bro!! I heard him for the first time (I think) on that dump gawd triz nathaniel tape. I see that in typical dump fashion he got a lot of projects 😂 what’s your fav joints?
@@BSideRapReviews, my favorites joints would have to be “Strictly 4 My D.U.M.P.E.R.Z”, that’s duo tape with Fahim, and his solo project called “Supreme Black History”. I don’t really listen to him that much as the other affiliates but, he definitely needs more recognition🔥💯
Man I don't know ... Heard this album like 3 times, and it does not grow on me His rapping is top notch as always, but i kinda do not feel most of the features + beats But maybe it's just that I listen to more grittier and grimier rap in the last months ... But anyways, as always man, amazing and enjoyable reaction! Cheers!
Bro I be in that mood sometimes especially when I listen to abstract rap where I be like this is cool and all but I’m tryna hear bout slingin some crack 😂😂😂 Ay it be like that. I def feel you on the some of the features and beats but I did rock with most. Also some of these beats aren’t the best to me but i like the aesthetic of a technical lyricist rapping over southern trap influenced beats - esp since prior to guys like JID, Kenny Mason, and Denzel Curry i can’t think of great rappers on that style of beat. Maybe in the early trap rap days but not that ain’t even the same style to me. But yeah thanks for the love brotha!! Salute!!
Same here. I've listen to this album 3x and haven't been able to connect. I always listen to albums 2x so that I can decide if it's for me or not, unless it's very bad. So I checked it out a 3rd time because of a back and forth with someone on other chat telling me it's the best album, blah, blah....🤣😂 But man it doesn't connect, JID is wonderful lyricist and I can see the appeal and his greatness. KD3>SSS>CC>DMZ>GDMM
Oh bro I was lowkey confused when I didn’t see 2007 on the album - that makes since. Yeah I checked it out when Dreamville dropped it on their page - it’s cold af. More amazing storytelling and rapping
Ngl i think Bas is good but there’s a significant talent difference between him and JID and either JID would have to tone down the rapping and get in his melodic bag or it’s gonna feel like he’s carrying the project
Oh shoot! I’ve heard that song - I rock with Tkay maidza, I didn’t put 2 and 2 together though. I didn’t listen to or like last year was weird vol 3 as much as I liked vol 2 but I rock with Tkay maidza. I was thinking tate was a singer not a rapper
Dang bro you not even gon ask?? 😂 Be on the lookout - I’m reacting to it as part of my Griselda series. I’m doing it in chronological order though and right now I’m in the 2017 projects
ur best reviewer on here bro fr

Really appreciate that brodie! Same man, I been going back and forth with this and 2 other albums as my AOTY - still haven’t decided. Super glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the support ✊🏾

This art and ur breakdown/review provides even more of a light to things
Best reviewer can't wait for you to get bigger
My guy!! I appreciate it! Ay I rock with the steady growth cus in still learning and tweaking plus I get to interact with everybody. Plus y’all let me rock out with my budget mic and recording off my phone so I’m tryna milk that as long as possible 😂
your bar breakdowns are on point
Preciate that bro! 💪🏾
album was fire, you should react to kenny mason’s two albums. Definitely think him and JID are amongst ATLs best
Fire for sure!! Kenny Mason is one of my fav rappers now. Him, JID, and GRIP are REALLY special imo.
I prob won’t get around to a full reaction but angellic hoodrat Supercut was one of my fav albums of last year and I covered it briefly in my top 20 albums of the year video.

I think it’s a good chance that he’ll drop a full length project this year. Did you check out that Pup Pack from a couple weeks ago? If so what did you think?
Terrific reaction as usual! This is an AOTY contender against Denzel and Kendrick. Right now I have Denzel and JID ahead.
Preciate that! This and Mr. Morale are my number 1 and 2 albums of the year so far…which is kinda unexpected for me because my top albums are usually mostly underground every year.

I need more 😤👍
Ayyy salute! I got you Fasho! ✊🏾
Easy sub. I had never thought of the FAX line in dance now also being a school grading line but holy shit if that dont work.
Ayyyy lets gooo! Preciate the sub brodie! Yeah sometimes I think i be reaching but I don’t put this one past JID lol. I had a lot of relistened after recording this and really impressed with his wordplay. DiCaprio 2 def had a lot of wordplay but the wordplay here was def more creative and intricate
Finally found someone who breaks down music like i do
Ayyy salute!! That algorithm be working sometimes lol! Welcome bro ✊🏾

One of the underrated reviewers🔥. You should react to some of the Jay NiCE’s projects. He’s one of the Dump Gawd’s affiliates, his pen game is hard.
Yo Preciate it bro!! I heard him for the first time (I think) on that dump gawd triz nathaniel tape. I see that in typical dump fashion he got a lot of projects 😂 what’s your fav joints?

Since when did Bam Adebayo start reviewing hip hop albums
Dawg I’m crying 😂😂😂 gotta stay busy in the off-season
Man I don't know ...
Heard this album like 3 times, and it does not grow on me
His rapping is top notch as always, but i kinda do not feel most of the features + beats
But maybe it's just that I listen to more grittier and grimier rap in the last months ...
But anyways, as always man, amazing and enjoyable reaction!

you should listen to ''2007''' its on youtube
its the true ending of this album and couldnt be on streaming plataforms cuz copyright problems
Oh bro I was lowkey confused when I didn’t see 2007 on the album - that makes since. Yeah I checked it out when Dreamville dropped it on their page - it’s cold af. More amazing storytelling and rapping
JID needs to work with Bas
Ngl i think Bas is good but there’s a significant talent difference between him and JID and either JID would have to tone down the rapping and get in his melodic bag or it’s gonna feel like he’s carrying the project
Baby tate can RAPPP...you should check Kim with her and Tkay Maidza
Oh shoot! I’ve heard that song - I rock with Tkay maidza, I didn’t put 2 and 2 together though. I didn’t listen to or like last year was weird vol 3 as much as I liked vol 2 but I rock with Tkay maidza. I was thinking tate was a singer not a rapper
@@BSideRapReviews yeah that's def understandable
I do wish her and Kenny Mason rapped on this
react to benny the butcher TANA TALK 3
Dang bro you not even gon ask?? 😂
Be on the lookout - I’m reacting to it as part of my Griselda series. I’m doing it in chronological order though and right now I’m in the 2017 projects
