A Review Of HotShitSpitter's Album"Liquid Swords"
- //Intro//
- Hey guys, that one review guy here
- Today we're going to be reviewing HotShitSpitter's album
- Liquid Swords
- The description says
- My writtens to instrumentals of GZA's 1995 album Liquid Swords
- SO Let's get into it right
- //Track 1: Liquid Swords//
- Good intro track with great lyricism and wordplay
- Some awkward bars in here at times
- But overall, it's a great intro track with good writing
- Overall: 8.4/10
- //Track 2: Duel Of The Iron Mic (feat. Lil_Chip)//
- A weaker track than Liquid Swords was my first thought after reading
- Weaker in all regards, lyricism, wordplay and more awkward bars
- The feature does well but also has he's awkward bars
- Overall not liking it as much as Liquid Swords
- I'm thinking a: 7.4/10 is appropiate
- //Track 3: Living In The World Today//
- Stronger track than Duel Of The Iron Mic but still
- Meh at moments with the lyricism
- Great writing and rhyming still on here but still not on the level
- of Liquid Swords, but great track overall
- I'm feeling a: 7.9/10
- //Track 4: Gold//
- A great track, a high point so far
- Really good lyricism and wordplay
- Love the meanings behind some bars on here
- The best track so far?, I don't think so but still a great track
- Overall: 8.1/10
- //Track 5: Cold World//
- Good track, a drop off in quality to the previous tracks for sure
- But some rappers would be happy to have this track on their albums
- Still not HotShitSpitters best work in terms of lyricism, flow and wordplay
- Still feeling a: 7/10 but not up to par
- //Track 6: Labels(feat. Coindrop)
- A step up from the previous track but not by much
- A lack of diverse flows, intricate lyricism and creativity
- Bring this track down, the feature doesn't help if anything
- He brings it down a bit with his lackluster lyricism and boring flow
- Overall thinking: 7.3/10 is good
- //Track 7: 4th Chamber//
- The best track so far with the least amount of awkward bars
- The strongest lyricism and most diverse flows
- The flows could use some work but still not too bad
- Thinking a: 8.8/10
- //Track 8: Shadowboxin'//
- Holy is it a good track, I love the lyricism
- The wordplay, the strong meanings behind the bars
- Everything combines to make the best track on this LP so far
- Still have an issue with the lackluster flows
- Still a: 9/10 though
- //Track 9: Killah Hills 10304(feat. Neo Arno)//
- Great lyricism from both of them
- The best feature on the record so far
- Really enjoyed this track, some awkward rhymes and bars here and there
- Still a great read though despite the flaws, still the flows are boring
- I'm feeling a: 8.5/10
- //Track 10: Investigate Reports//
- Pretty weak in all regards of lyricism, wordplay and flows
- It focuses on storytelling while letting everything else suffer
- As a result this track is pretty boring and a drop off in quality
- I'm feeling a: 7.1/10
- //Track 11: I Gotcha Back//
- Another track that sacrifices everything else for storytelling
- Not as much as the previous track but it's still noticeable
- Good track though despite it's obvious and glaring flows
- I'm thinking a: 7.6/10 is great
- //Lyricism//
- Great lyricism throughout, some parts are very weak
- Some parts are very strong but overall really enjoyed the lyricism
- Wordplay and punchlines are on point most of the time
- Overall good, great at moments
- Overall a: 8.6/10
- //Flows//
- Most of them are boring and repetitive
- There is no difference between the flows
- They are all boring and just lack a change in them
- He could improve on them
- Overall: 6.8/10
- //Cohesion//
- Very cohesive album, touching on similar topics throughout
- Nothing to say about the cohesion on this record
- It's a very cohesive LP
- 8/10 in terms of cohesion
- //Choruses//
- There are no choruses
- //Verses//
- Great verses, some are pretty weak and the features don't often
- Drop their best verses ever on here, still pretty good
- Not very consistent though, that's the only issue I have with them
- I'm feeling a: 8/10
- //Final Thoughts//
- The strong points for the LP are The lyricism and verses
- Basically the rhyming on here is great
- But the lack of diverse and different flows and delivery drop the level
- On the LP, don't see much in terms of features, often
- The features didn't give stand out verses and delivery
- Overall the inconsistency in the track list is evident with some tracks
- Being masterclasses in rap and some tracks being boring slug fests
- //Score//
- Overall I'm feeling a: 7.5/10 on this record
