Music We wonder what would happen if more rappers like The Game and J. Cole would review each other's projects as publicly and directly as this.

Reviews Lil Wayne is trying to keep up when both the industry and the genre are moving on without him—and the result is a confusing album caught between eras, audiences, and expectations.

Reviews Young Thug’s “UY Scuti” is messy and uneven yet vulnerable, offering flashes of his pre-incarceration brilliance without reclaiming the superstar stature that once placed him at rap’s upper echelon.

Reviews Ideally, a final statement should leave fans eager for a return, a body of work that commands reflection and conversation. Here, Cole offers a snapshot of craftsmanship at a high point, a reckoning with his own mythos, and a testament to the fact that even the most dependable voices in rap can surprise, falter, and reflect at once.

Reviews In "Star Line," Chance The Rapper charts the difficult terrain of love, justice, and selfhood, crafting an album as restless and resolute as he is.

Reviews "Infinite" is a proper send-off for Mobb Deep. Eight years after Prodigy’s death, Havoc recreates their familiar universe, honoring posthumous verses while showcasing his own evolution alongside The Alchemist.

Reviews Even though Tyler, The Creator is running it back rather than pushing it forward, "DON'T TAP THE GLASS" is nonetheless immediate and joyous.

Reviews "Bully" doesn’t feel like a comeback. It feels like Kanye West is reminding the world he still knows the tricks while avoiding the vulnerability and ambition that once made his music impossible to ignore.

Reviews Ultimately, for an artist who has found himself in an odd place of his career these past few years that have seen him flirting with the idea of leaving hip-hop entirely, "Alfredo 2" is proof that Gibbs is far from reaching a glass ceiling in his career.
