    When I turned 16 (2018) Smino happened to be playing in a ballroom in my hometown. I spammed his instagram with 10 comments saying that I was a skinny white kid in a blue jean jacket in the front row, and that it was my birthday. When he came out he made a joke saying to everyone "this n** was up in my comments talking bout im a skinny white kid in a blue jean jacket in the front row" and made everyone chant "blue jean jacket." Then at the end of the concert he brought me for a song on stage lmfao. Such a charismatic, funny, and talented guy

      I think more ppl listen to songs, not whole albums which is quite sad because listening to an album makes you appreciate it more, imagine reading one chapter from a book and call it a day.

    This is definitely his best project imo, his unique cadences, vocal inflections, flows, and singing all blends together beautifully with the groovy and often soulful instrumentals. His bars are also quite unique, not just with clever lines but with the way he can spin “generic” quotes in his own way. I also love the way this album flows, every track goes into the next so smoothly. 9/10, one of the best this year imo
    Favorite tracks: Blu Billy, Pro Freak, Matinee, Modenaminte, Pudgy, Curtains, Ole Ass Kendrick, etc.

    When I heard Smi's first album my first reaction was "this guy reminds me of Mac Miller, Chance, Isaiah, Anderson Paak, JID, Saba, etc" but in my opinion that's just a way for your brain to comprehend something thats like nothing you've ever heard before. Sure there's similarities but I never felt for a second he was too derivative of anyone.
    The good things you said about this album were the same way I felt about blkswn and NOIR; unique, catchy, playful, soulful, clever bars and seamlessly cohesive. Maybe it just took some time for you to get used to his style :)
    Thanks for finally giving him the time of day

  • @AsianBM55
    @AsianBM55 2 года назад +43

    I been with Smino since 2015 and he was the first artist I'd ever been willing to see twice live in a year. I thought blkswn was a 10 but I knew it was just a matter of time before he put out an album that everyone could love and the minute I heard Luv 4 Rent I knew this was it. I honestly think he's going to keep improving. Smino's got such a unique blend of soul and charisma to him and it just oozes out of his songs. Its his personality that makes his music great and that just isn't going anywhere.

    People (including Fantano) listening to Louphoria... Did we listen to the same song? Sparse? Non-technical? The way the many intro parts start out of sync, then slowly grow closer to being on time together, ultimately colliding once the drums kick in is amazing. I'm not an expert with DAWs, but I can't imagine how difficult that was to make sound so smooth.

    I said the same thing about uzi’s feature too. Smino really brings the best out of every artist. Really makes them have to try or else they would get creatively slaughtered

    • @JayJay-mk9xg

    I didn’t really expect to dig this. First song, I thought pretty decent. Then on 90 Proof I got that Stankonia vibe, and that’s my sh!t, maybe my fav hiphop album, so he grabbed my attention, and I listened to it all. It’s definitely good. Not my fav hiphop of the year, probably not even top 5, but probably top 10, and easily a very strong 7, probably more a lite 8.. Dig it!

    I watch your videos for recommendations tbh. Your commentary is well thought out and explained, your interest in music overall lends to some awesome new finds across many genres.
    If you take requests, I’d like to submit 1 request for Dirt Femme by Tove Lo. It dropped in mid October and I think it’s ripe for dissection. Anyway, thanks for more great video content 🙌🏽
