Westside Gunn - 10 ALBUM REVIEW

Around this time year, Westside Gunn vowed that his Hitler Wears Hermes mixtape/album series would end with two albums billed as one album: Side A (Sincerely Adolf) and Side B, both of which were some of the best of the entire series, especially Side B which I think is the best. 8 (technically 9) albums in one album series is a rarely done and especially at this level where every single one is great and memorable. Fast forward to this year, Westside appeared to have pivoted to new projects such as the Peace “Fly” God album with Stove God Cooks and Estee Nack and his upcoming Michelle Records album that he’s been teasing forever. A lot of the song snippets from the Michelle Records rollout are songs that appear on his latest album, 10, which he cut off the HWH part because of all this Kanye bullshit. As a Jew, I never took offense to the HWH title as it is clearly a twist on The Devil Wears Prada, which likens Hitler to the devil which is not antisemitic and Westside has never even rapped about Hitler on any of these 10 albums so it’s quite different than the bullshit that Kanye has been saying. Regardless, I don’t mind that he decided to end it at 10 even though he technically skipped 9 even though HWH8 was two separate albums. The way I see it, it’s called 10 because it’s been ten years since the first HWH and there was never an iPhone 9. While I do love this album, it does start off kind of shaky. I haven’t written my thoughts about AA Rashid in my previous Westside Gunn reviews but the man who speaks on most Westside Gunn album intros really got to me on this album intro and not in a bad way but just a simply funny way because this man makes zero fucking sense when he talks and it’s hilarious. He sounds like what dumb people think smart people sound like when they use big words and have no idea what they mean. He said “Not to be overtly ostentatious or express large abundance of sophistry / I will add my true sentiment regarding this sound / And I will express to you that this is, this is the enlightenment.” I’m not mad at it because he sounds great, he makes me laugh, and he always talks over great production but I really had to say something about it here. The first actual song is the song Flygod Jr, which is produced by Westside’s son and it’s a trap beat which heavily deviates from the Griselda sound. I think Conway and Benny sound great over trap beats but it doesn’t really work on this song. I think the production is pretty weak and Westside’s flow isn’t that great, not to mention the Doe Boy feature is pretty mediocre. Though it’s a rough start, he comes right back with Super Kick Party over a filthy Conductor Williams beat. Like many Westside albums, 10 has a very impressive list of guest features who all show up to rap as WSG brings the best out of the rappers he gets on his songs. He’s got A$AP Rocky who sounds good over some smooth boom bap production. The song Peppas is an instant favorite as it features incredible verses from Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli, who rap over a beautiful yet grimy Conductor Williams beat who channels the No Fear Of Time sound. In my review of that album, I talked about how Talib really stepped it up in comparison to past albums and he really went in on Peppas. I loved the way he was rhyming and he had some killer bars like “Claimin' La Costra Nostra, we in love with the coca / They hit n****s with the R.I.C.O., AP comported in cola.” The song Science Class is another standout track as Westside recruits Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, and Ghostface Killah over a pretty awesome sample. All three sound amazing over the repeating “we used to be good friends a long time ago” loop.  In addition to Black Star, Westside Gunn gets another duo, Run The Jewels on the song Switches On Everything. El-P sets things off with a pretty awesome verse but Killer Mike took things to another level with an aggressive double-time flow over the drumless beat which brought even more excitement into the song. The only thing I didn’t like was the hook. Stove God Cooks, who is also on the song also flowed over the song in a way I’ve never heard him rap before. Stove God Cooks is featured on most tracks and has been all over the past 3 WSG releases too and has proven that he and Westside never miss when they link. He ended his verse with the killer line “Last shit I cooked would've got five Pyrexes in the Source.” I also loved on Shootouts In Soho when Stove casually sang “I can't answer the phone right now, I'm cookin' dope.” He also appears on the absolutely filthy BDP with features Rome Streetz, whose music I don’t love but he always comes through with a great verse. Both Stove God and Rome Streetz join Westside and many other Griselda members and affiliates for the 10-minute finale, Red Death. The beat is slow, menacing, and epic and works for every single rapper on the song. While everyone had a great verse, Benny set the bar very high and the only one to best him was Conway who finishes the song strong with his verse. Some verses are much better than others but Armani Caesar really came through. She doesn’t just stand out because she’s the only woman on the song but because she has a good rap voice, came with the right amount of aggression, her flow was great and she had some good bars. I loved her Top Boy reference in her verse. Jay Worthy’s verse was fine but he didn’t totally fit. I would’ve loved to hear Mach-Hommy and Boldy James on the song because they are on the label and they would’ve fit better. DJ Drama, who hosted the mixtape/album similar to HWH7 brought the correct energy to it and did a good job wrapping things up on Red Death and likening the HWH series to other iconic series. He said stuff like “We came Back to the Future to be the Terminators of the Matrix” and “No Mission is Impossible when you this Fast and Furious.” 10 is a very strong way to end the decade long annual series that propelled Westside Gunn to where he is now.

Fav Tracks: Peppas, BDP, Science Class, Switches On Everything, Red Death

10, Westside Gunn (2022)

With all the all-star guests, luscious beats and glinting grandeur you’d expect of the conclusion to a series as generally marvellous and generationally influential as Westside Gunn’s Hitler Wears Hermes, it is easy to forgive 10’s imperfections simply because the overall vibe is so appropriately, infectiously celebratory.

Pick: ‘Peppas (feat. Black Star)’

Westside Gunn - Peace “Fly” God

(East Coast Hip Hop, Boom Bap, Gangsta Rap)

Westside Gunn's latest mixtape is exceedingly decent. Recorded in just two days after returning from Paris Fashion Week, the Buffalo rapper proves his formula still works, even as it begins to feel like his signature boom bap sound loses a bit more of its shine with every new release. Peace "Fly God isn't bad by any means, but it doesn't do anything we haven't already heard enough times before.

☆☆☆

If you've got a formula that works, why get rid of it? For Westside Gunn, that's been both a blessing and a curse: he more or less revitalized the boom bap sound in contemporary hip hop with himself and the Griselda crew shooting their way to the top of 2010s rap, and his best work proves why his domination is well-earned, with opulent and luxurious beats underpinning grimy stories of New York ruthlessness that feels like a reverent painting doused in oil and grease, the kind of rap best experience on late night drives and downtown walks. His work ethic has always been second to none, releasing multiple projects every year and never letting anything get in the way of his creative drive, and that hasn't changed even now with the world in his hands. Peace "Fly" God, his latest mixtapes recorded in just two days with Stove God Cooks and Estee Nack after his return from Paris Fashion Week, once again shows how strong a sound Gunn has cultivated over the years, the mixtape's quick production time still including all the things that make his music so great, thick boom bap beats and whiskey-smooth production that emphasizes Gunn's unique cadence and fits perfectly with anyone he decides to work with. At its best, Peace "Fly" God proves that Gunn's sound is evergreen, always a pleasure to have around and rarely anything less than great to listen to. What Peace "Fly" God does expose to me, though, is that Westside Gunn can only take things so far when keeping within the boundaries of his signature sound. I know that sounds like a given, but it's important to recognize just how similar these songs are to the ones he was putting out back in the mid 2010s - I'm not hyperbolizing in the slightest when I say that songs like Ritz Barlton and Horses on Sunset could have been on FLYGOD or any of the Hitler Wears Hermes mixtapes and not sound out of the ordinary even a bit - and while that doesn't make Peace "Fly" God a bad project by any means, it makes me wonder about how much Gunn can expand on his sound in the future. It could just be the mixtape's speedy, ramshackle production not being able to deliver the same richness of Pray for Paris or Supreme Blientele, but when half the album's tracks are shoddily made drumless tunes that don't have nearly enough instrumental punch to stick the landing, particularly Jesus Crack with its eight minute runtime that leaves so much space between Nack's verses that it has absolutely no right taking up about a fourth of the runtime. This limited scope in production has always been a brick wall looming over Gunn and the larger Griselda group's music for years now, but Peace "Fly" God sees Gunn running straight into it and not looking for any way to get around it. Are these songs all good? Sure, for the most part, none of them are unlistenable or poorly made. But are they doing anything new or exciting within Gunn's discography? Not by a long shot. Gunn himself is also unusually sparse across Peace "Fly" God's ten tracks in both production and rapping. He's always been a curator open to letting collaborators and features take control over where certain songs go, but he doesn't even get a single verse on Bobby Rhude as Nacks gets the entire song to himself and doesn't make much of an impression when he is on the mic, either, leading to a sense of disengagement within the mixtape that's rarely present within Gunn's tight-knit projects. Out of the album's four producers, three of them are longtime Griselda collaborators, with Conductor Williams, Daringer and Madlib all appearing more than a few times on previous Griselda releases, and while again that's not an inherently bad thing, it further contributes to this feeling of stagnation that prevents Peace "Fly" God from standing out within Gunn's discography. People have been saying Westside Gunn's been making the same song over and over again since the start of his career, and while that's not entirely true, I wouldn't call it entirely inaccurate either when Peace "Fly" God makes it so apparent how homogeneous a sound he sticks to on every release. What really matters is how convincingly he's able to sell you the experience of these regal, moody boom bap tunes, and the fast-tracked creation of Peace "Fly" God makes that an impossibility when there's not time for the music to refine itself. On the whole, Peace "Fly" God is still a fine mixtape. It's got some great songs and doesn't overstay its welcome, and Gunn's charisma and personality still comes through as strongly as ever. But what the quickfire pace of the mixtape's release reveals is that Westside Gunn's music has to establish itself intensely in order to get you pulled in, or risk becoming not much more than enjoyable background music. Westside Gunn's sound is one so lavish and fun to listen to that there's no way that his projects can be anything less than good, but it Peace "Fly" God is riding the knife's edge between familiarity and boredom. When it works, it works, but it all comes by too quickly and unceremoniously to feel like it's worth coming back to. He knows what he's good at, and he does a remarkable job at keeping his music consistent and well-dressed, but what Peace "Fly" God lacks is that extra dimension, that little bit of grit and explosivity that brings things to the next level and has made for Westside Gunn's best previous project. For better or worse, it's Westside Gunn at his bare minimum.
