But my friend that I know only loves real Hip Hop said he was actually a good rapper, and I believed her because I thought that he could actually rap, but his concepts weren't good.. So she recommended The Heist... So listened and HOLY SHIT... I was blown away!
The album is fucking amazing, his concepts are amazing and that album contains some of the best songs I've heard this year. Ten Thousand Hours, Same Love, Make the Money, Neon Cathedral, Jimmy Iovine, Wing$, Starting Over... Just some tracks that are fucking amazing. The production is also top fucking notch, props to Ryan Lewis. That instrumental track on here was bliss.
I did feel like some tracks were fillers, like Gold, Thin Line, A Wake, and even the ScHoolboy Q track was Ehh.. but Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us make so much more sense now that I heard the entire project.
Overall its still a great, and I definitely take back what I said about Macklemore.
8/10
Can't believe I once called this guy the 2013 Vanilla Ice..
