More song reviews: Sheck Wes, Common & BabyTron

Reviews for “BEAST,” “#TRON4PREZ,” “All Kinds Of Ideas,” and more.

Sheck Wes – BEAST

Sheck Wes is a monster when it comes to creating tracks that get you pumped up. However, as expected, “BEAST” is a trippy banger with a simple yet catchy hook, explosive raps, absolutely meaningless lyrics and a beat that could make you freak out and throw a seizure. You have to treat your ears to a cheat day every now and then, right?

Common & Pete Rock – All Kinds of Ideas

When was the last time you heard Pete Rock rap? 1997? On “All Kinds Of Ideas,” he gets behind the mic and holds his own against Common. Set to this old-school hip-hop beat with some great DJ scratches, Rock gives us flawless bars that prove he still thinks he’s the n***a behind and off the mic. And Common shines, delivering this highly efficient rap verse that makes him sound like an ambitious rapper who can also kick your ass when it comes to teaching history lessons. All in all, this track is great.

BabyTron. – #TRON4PREZ

At this point, I think BabyTron is the best presidential candidate out there. Anyway, I think “#TRON4PREZ” is a terrible track, but one that fits the kind of music he’s been making for years. It has punchlines that range from clever to cheesy, a beat that ranges from sports to 80’s cocaine shit, and a rap style that ranges from cold to weird. I don’t think I want to hear that shit again.

BLK ODYSSY & Joey Bada$$ – STANK ROSE

They don’t do R&B hip hop fusions like “STANK ROSE” anymore. The track features smooth vocals, a very slick rap verse from Joey Bada$$, and a nice beat that blends hard-hitting hip hop elements with dreamy R&B elements. I wish the lyrics in the chorus came across a little clearer, but overall the vibe of this track is impeccable.
