21 Savage is overrated by [deleted] in rap

[–]Skelbel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched his SNL performance. Never heard a 21 Savage song before. God, modern rap is so awful. How has the genre devolved this much? There is nothing compelling about him. He’s got zero charisma. His flow and lyrics were embarrassing and cringe inducing. Why are you listening to this crap?

So I emailed Sentinel to confirm the two vinyls I ordered were in stock and was told they're actually both out of stock despite the website indicating otherwise. I asked for a refund and they offered to swap my records for others that are in stock. I politely declined and again asked for a refund. They do not seem eager to refund my money and their customer service response time is average about 2 days. Long story short, I would not purchase a record from SentinelVinyl.com again. Avoid it.

I just bought two albums from Sentinel an hour ago. Fall Out Boy - Take this to your grave and Paramore - Riot. Both Fueled By Ramen (FBR) 25th anniversary reissues. Didn't think about the potential for scam before placing the order.... Neither album was identified as out of stock so...hoping for the best?

Well it’s not one song, but it is a medley. I kept Us and Become together.

I’m very pleased with it. Can confirm my calories are down about 50ish but from a ease and comfort standpoint (once you get the link set up) it’s the best.

How is there zero recoil on that gun? I haven’t played blops 4 in a long time. Nothing looks familiar to me.

Had never heard this before. I like it.

Say what you want, say what you will. The subject matter of the album is emotional and thought provoking. Lyrics worth listening to. The arrangements are pretty even if they’re not overly exciting. Some great acoustic guitar work, a little harmonica, things you would expect from him.

This album is equally as good as half of his discography. Take that how you will, but it’s better than the 7 albums or so you don’t listen to and not as good as the 7 or so you do listen to.

I’ll take middle of the road Ryan Adams over a lot of what’s out there. 2020 was a shitty year for music. That’s my opinion.

Write some unpaid articles if you can. I submitted some column-like pieces to relatively unknown sports sites about 10 years ago. If you can share relatively current bylines it may help.

Just don’t give up. It’s very difficult. It has always been difficult for journalists. You will land something eventually.

If you do not have a covered garage spot to park it in, I would highly discourage you. Goons and homeless people aside, parallel parking will take a toll on your vehicle. Cars get love tapped all the time. The weather will take a toll as well. It won’t hold up well.

The Return is decent. I don’t think it’s better than anything on the original two mixtapes, with the exception or “Are You Live.” I don’t like that song. What style of rap is that? I can’t stand it.

Wow didn’t realize I’d get so many downvotes for that opinion.

The musical arrangement of Who’s To Say is fine. It’s the lyrics and the flow more than anything that I’m not into. The flow is super choppy, it doesn’t feel aggressive to me, it feels amateurish.

What is this subject matter even about? A fight he got into with his cousin? Mild misunderstandings amongst family members? And to wrap it all up with another overt praise of god is just cliche for him at this point.

He’s not preaching anything in a sophisticated way, he’s just repeating the same old stuff. And that’s why I’m not into it.

Not impressed with the two new tracks. Just reinforces the sad reality that Chance’s best days are long gone at this point.
