hey, ✨ how are you ? If you don’t mind me asking, are any new rappers ( particularly women) that you’re into? you have really good taste. Also!, if I can ask what are your thoughts on rubi rose and ice spice ? thank you. lol I’m sorry this is all really random but I’d just like to know your opinion
Hi boo.
Yeah I like some of the new female rappers (Enchanting, Glorilla, Jucee Froot, Lola Brooke).
I don't like Ice Spice's music, but her personality is charming and she's pretty. I love Rubi Rose's voice/tone and her music is decent, I just wish she stopped doing dumb shit online or getting put on blast rather.
This was a big step up from the last project, and I am so pleased.
Last year, rapper IDK dropped a short album called Simple, and that's exactly what it was. With eight tracks and rounding out to eighteen minutes in length, it made for a quick listen. I feel he didn't make the most of his short time on Simple. Alternating between singing and rapping, he faired better with the former. His bars lacked impact, but his flow was decent. Overall, Simple was an okay project, but nothing to praise.
His latest album, F65, is a step up from last year. Nowhere near perfect and still flawed in some areas, but I enjoy this much more than Simple.
F65 is packed with more songs, more features, and more commanding instrumentals. With twenty-two tracks running out at fifty-two minutes, Simple felt like an appetizer as IDK serves F65 as a main course. For Simple's mediocrity, I appreciated its brevity. F65 was a luscious listen but does not need to be fifty-two minutes long.
The biggest issue stems from pacing, as the album is too long and the tracks are too short.
Songs like Pit Stop and Salty feel like they're just getting started as IDK raps braggadocious and gets into a groove. But before it feels like he can shift into second gear, the song suddenly ends. There would be more to savor if he could at least fit in one more verse sometimes. Consequently, he has one song, Superwoman, that takes up seven minutes. Broken into parts, the song peaks in beauty with the first part as IDK and features Musiq Soulchild wax poetic with their vocals. If anything, he should've taken the extra five minutes and distributed them amongst the other songs on the album.
Among the other features, it's hit or miss. Fat Trel works well in unison with IDK on Thug Tear. NLE Choppa was doing a fine job on Salty but could've used more time. Jucee Froot and Saucy Santana are among the best as they flex and boast sexually on Pinot Noir. And as a Benny The Butcher fan, I absolutely could've used more Benny on Up The Score. That was nowhere near enough.
In the end, IDK delivered his fourth studio album. I'm hoping for his next project, he can assemble more talents for the features and find a decent middle ground for the pacing. Interludes and skits plague the project and could be cut for time. The jazz-infused production helped carry a really good album along with serviceable bars. If his next project is similar to this in sound and content with around twelve tracks and thirty minutes in time, then he will have something truly great on his hands. 3.5/5
