The Critic - Welcome To My World (Move On)

The Critic - Welcome To My World

If you didn't know already I'm TIME. Yep, this whole Critic character was created as promotion for Overgrind 2 (releases tomorrow). I been trolling the fuck out of NT and Twitter. Did it work against me or for me? I guess I'll see this weekend.

Most of these posts were strictly to piss people off and get views. Some were real breakdowns of how I felt shit went for certain artists Either way, don't let my opinions deter you from listening to my music because it's really fucking great (yes ego). I'm going to make one last post, tomorrow, and that will be Overgrind 2 with a full overview.

When I'm Gone - This is cool. The beat is nice. I don't like the hook at all. I think this may be the first time I ever cringed when hearing a Wiz hook. It doesn't really feel like an intro. It's not bad but it's not really good either.

Get On My Level - I know this song is old but I never bothered to listen to it because it features Too Short (Can you blame me?). This has a cool little vibe. I love the synths Jim Jonsin uses. The hook is nothing special but it works. The verses aren't anything special. I can listen to this one, though. Right after I remove Too Short's verse.

Black & Yellow - Double Platinum.

Roll Up - I take back what I said about the intro. THIS is the first Wiz hook that made me cringe. I understand why the song exists but, damn, this shit is corny. It will probably sell just as much as Black & Yellow.

Hopes & Dreams - This beat is dope! I don't really care for the hook but it's not trash. I like everything else about the song. Smooth vibe. 

Wake Up - Another StarGate beat. I'm going to go cry in the corner now. What the fuck is this? I guess they had him make a pop album. He has used the same flow on every song thus far. Yeah, this pretty corny.

The Race - I heard this before the album and is the only song from the album that I like so far. Smooth track. Great production and a dope hook. Definitely a stand out.

Star Of The Show - Let me start by saying Chevy Woods is pure garbage. This sounds like a 40 (Drake's producer) beat. The hook is okay. Honestly, it sounds like he's trying too hard on this one. Either that or he's not comfortable with the music. It's lacking emotion.

No Sleep - This is garbage. I knew he was going to make some pop shit but not a pop album. I am highly disappointed. 

Get Your Shit - This beat sounds dope but it's ruined by another cheesy, pop, hook. Again, he's using the same flow. This beat is nice, though.

Top Floor - I can't stomach this shit anymore. I literally feel sick. This guy has so much talent but he chose to sell out.

Fly Solo - LOL. "Same song to a different beat." He knows he's making bullshit. This is one of those generic pop rock songs. 

Rooftops - This track features Curren$y so hopefully it won't be pop. This hook sucks too. Curren$y delivers a solid verse which, besides "The Race", may be the highlight of the album.

Cameras - You know this is going to be pop as soon as it comes on. This is SUPER pop. This is garbage as fuck. 

Overview

I can't believe it. I knew his sound was going to change but I don't think the change in any artist's sound has ever been THIS drastic when going from underground to mainstream. This shit is absurd. He went from a weed rapper to a pothead pop singer. This album has NO soul whatsoever. None of this is real. Like he says on "Fly Solo", "Same song to a different beat." That's all this album is. You can argue that his old shit was the same way but at least they were rap beats. At least the hooks were good. This is watered down GARBAGE. The highlight of the album is "The Race" and by highlight I mean the only song worth listening to. The album has great (pop) production and that's where the positive things to say about the album run out.

11 ON THE WAY HOME

12 [BONUS] WHEN YOU SEE LOVE

Intro - The intro is a just some talking. A story.

Playas Punch - This is the definition of west coast production. Smooth with a funky bassline and some smooth synths. This was a short track. Just a verse but it was pretty dope.

Goodbye - On here he's spitting some real shit. Talking about the grind and how you have to start from nothing to get to where you want to be. I don't really care for the hook but it's not bad. Overall a solid song.

The Homies - The production on here is definitely west coast. I like the shot at Funk Flex because him taking a shot at Pac after his death was a bitch move. He's talking about his homies. This is a cool track but would be better with a real hook.

Turn Me Out - This is a cut for the females. It has a cool vibe and I like the beat. I like the verses but, again, I don't really care for the hook. By the end of the song the hook grew on me. Dope track.

Bet You Want Me (Now) - This reminds me of some Drake shit for some reason (not a bad thing). It's the beat and tempo of the flow. I really like this one. This is dope as hell. My favorite track so far.

Designer Shit - This beat is too dope. I like this a lot too. This just took over as my favorite track. I don't even have much to say. It's just a dope ass song.

Can't Let Go - OK Dom. No singing for you. This is wack. You sound like Diddy, bro.

CDC feat. Casey Veggies & cARTer - I think this is supposed to be some "A Milli" shit. It's cool. This guy Casey Veggies sucks. cARTer sucks too. I don't even know which is which but everybody except Dom was pretty wack on this one.

Nigga 4 Life - This is dope. He's spitting some real shit on here. Pac talking on the hook. I like this track too. Kind of inspirational.

On The Way Home - This sounds like Kid Cudi if it was his first time behind the mic. I'm not feeling this at all. He's rapping too old school or something. I don't know what the hell this is supposed to be.

When You See Love - This is cool. Smooth track. I like it. The hook is dope.

Conclusion

Dom is nice on the mic and he proves that on this tape. It's not Lupe level lyricism but it's good. He's just spitting everyday shit that people can feel. My main gripe is the lack of hooks but I can't be too mad because he mentioned it himself in one of the verses, stating that his focus was on "rhymes". It's definitely a nice project. It doesn't seem incomplete or anything. I just hope he has a full fledged album in the works because I want to hear him on some different shit. You can tell he didn't really have a particular aim for this tape as the subject matter stays the same on most tracks but it is good for what it is.

Thou Shall Know When The Fuck To Retire. Is Your Favorite Rapper Listed?

Bored so I compiled a list of rappers who currently need to hang it up.  This is no particular order.

It's the king of your local state cell block.

"AH-HAA" sums up your career perfectly.

You got Geico nigga. Fuck music.

We're lasers. You're a fucking loser.

You should have stuck to the battles, bro.

Hypocrite.

No rapping and no more making the same beat over and over.

Calm down.

Take your ass to Africa so you can stop rapping about it.

Anybody ever affiliated with Wu Tang needs to sit THE FUCK down.

Hope you're praying for a hit.

Yep.

It's Slim Thugga mothafucka always rappin' the same.

Please do. If you can't tell that is Game.

GOOD riddance.

Just stop. Please.

Cool peoples. Terrible rapper.

Matter of fact, the entire state of Cali should just stop making that trash they call music . Just enjoy the weather and whatnot.

I should "roll up" to Pittsburgh and kick your ass for making that gay ass song. 

Get this gimmick away from my speakers NOW!

Someone let me know when he runs out of coke to rap about.

New Music : Cee-Lo Green - The Lady Killer

Just came across this album on good ol' Twitter. I'm listening to it as I re upload it. Yes, I'm a blogger with integrity. I don't steal links, just music lmfao. This is sounding amaizing so far. I'm on "Bodies" and so far the album has a very old school feel. Some with a twist of MJ (upbeat and downtempo) and others with more of a 50s or 60s era feel. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Bruno Mars and crew (The Smeezingtons) handled the bulk of the production on this album. They have brought back the old school feel but they made it current somehow. It just works. Anyway check it out. I may revisit this post but I don't wanna type an essay lol.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

First things first. I just want yall to know that I'm a huge Kanye fan (I even like 808s) but this nigga is losing his fucking mind. GOOD Friday songs were a GOOD idea until some of them showed up on the final tracklisting of the album. Aside from "Don't Look Down" and the 2 singles he released on those days they've all sucked for the most part. A handful of them had great potential but were ruined with SUPER WACK features. Why the FUCK does Ryan Leslie have a verse on ANY song?! Swizz?! RZA?! They gave nigga RZA like 4 bars... WTF was the point? Just stick to doing songs with people who know what the fuck they're doing OR u could do what we all want you to do and make some damn solo songs. Fuck these ridiculous collabs and all that.

Aight thats most of the anger aired out up there lmao. There's a bright side to all of this. The Runway video was kinda dope but ONLY because the music fit the subject matter and everything and vice versa. The music only makes sense with the video. I feel like "Don't Look Down" should be on the album and should have been the last song in The Runway video. It would have been that much better.

So yea basically I'm not anticipating this shit AT ALL (at least he took "See Me Now" off). Thank God this man signed Kid Cudi.
