Conway the Machine - God Don't Make Mistakes Album Review

[@ethanwells1230]

Conway’s bars about alcoholism on Stressed really hit home for me and helped me make the decision to become sober 13 days clean ✊

[@isaiahcane4999]

That’s amazing! You can do it!

[@thehighground_]

You got this, man

[@azraelfaust487]

20 days clean hopefully ?

[@josephserenson166]

Congratulations my man!! The week before this album came out I was constipating going to a rehab for drinking and then Friday when It came out I heard that song and decided to go to rehab and went the next day and my sober date is actually the date this album came out

[@TheBestPizzaConnoisseur]

Hope you still goin strong my man, you got this ✊🏾♥️

[@D2BII]

Glad to see that people are realizing just how formidable of an artist Conway is. People often think Benny when they think Griselda, but Conway's verses hit different. He's able to viscerally display grimy gutter shit, but also a real tortured, vulnerable anguish. He hits on emotions that not many others in this lane can touch. He's my favorite of the three by far.

[@nickdamas2164]

Benny cant touch Conway....Its not even close...and I rock with The Butcher Machine is on a COMPLETE other level.

Conway made Jill Scott RAP! That’s my highlight on this album, not only did she spit, but she gave us a super nice gangster verse 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Solid album nonetheless, my favorite album from Conway🙌🏾. I had to be decisive

[@thenameisomari]

Word lol. I was like damn

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Keisha makes me think of Peaches from Outkast, too... good call, Ken. Griselda never disappoints, it's unbelievable. And Con is a stellar artist. When I heard Bootleg Kevin ask Conway, "What did a song need to make this project?" and he responded with "That pain...", I knew this was gonna be special. He has done really vulnerable songs before (of course "The Cow" stands out), but never an album filled with tracks like that. He's an inspiration to fans, with his persistence thru all that trauma.

[@Monk0405]

Damn near perfect album. Let’s give him his flowers, man deserves it

[@RESTER415]

That last track was amazing. Perfect way to end the Album.

[@jchris333]

🔥🔥🔥 that Drumwork collab was immaculate

[@marmiteghost]

Never been a huge Griselda fan, but damn this album surprised me. So much great content and storytelling without having to sacrifice their sound or the standard of bars.

[@mrcassantos]

“Bang” was originally for this project but they decided to put it on the mixtape and remix on wwcd. City on the map with 50 was also originally for this project.

[@alonargus]

It’s apparent he has a lot of fans that prefer to hear grimey Conway all the time based on the reviews I’ve been seeing (no shade to those that do). It was refreshing to hear your takes, I definitely agree that this one one of Griselda’s/Conway’s best releases. Brilliant project.

[@Fade223M]

I like this album. Conway’s ability to be vulnerable enough to make introspective songs for the latter half of the album is a nice change from the usual Griselda formula. Conway showed layers subject matter and rapping. Dope album.

[@ninjasrose1653]

Conway, really is the modern day BIG. I think he's gonna go down as one of the greats. He speaks out on shit that 90% don't. And the way he does it is genius! I would have changed a few things about this album. I would have left Drumwork track off. Put The Cow verse as the intro instead and swapped out some features for other Emcee's. But it is a solid, solid album and A.O.T.Y so far. He's not retiring yet guys. He's got Lulu 2 with Al. Another Big Ghost project. He even hinted at G.D.M.M. 2 And there's a collab or even 2 E.P's with Beans coming also.

[@BkuBrown]

Modern day Beanie Sigel for me. Which makes the intro so interesting.

[@coleintheville117]

Drumwork?? Bro it's one of the best tracks here

[@bruhbruhson4985]

Conway is my all time favorite rapper and he always brings the heat wether it’s hard hitting bars about blowing faces off or spilling his heart out. Loved seeing this man grow and prosper.

[@mch-223]

Conway said that Eminem wasn't on the album because Bang was supposed to be on GDMM but Westside Gunn took it for the Griselda album (WWCD). Apparently his track "The Cow" was supposed to be on GDMM too.

[@jajassa1]

Crazy how I didn't even know it was out and its one of the best griselda projects.

[@JustDraysonTV]

Conway was able to do what a lot of street rappers struggle with in my opinion and that’s give you the grimey cuts of course but be able to pull off some commercial cuts for a major label release as well and he nailed it here. My favorites were Lock Load, Stressed, Guilty, Piano Love, John Woo Flick and God Don’t Make Mistakes.

[@Armando316]

What’s dope is that he can flirt with the commercial stuff but still keeps true to himself. He doesn’t try to cater to teenagers. He just does him and he does manage to ride that fine line without selling out.

I've been listening to hip hop since.....watching park jams out the project window in the south Bronx back in the 70's...I was all ino that 90s underground...Recording Stretch and Bobbito every Thursday night....I've listened to them all.....This isnt hyperbole....Machine is the best rapper I've ever heard. The way he lays down that "fly goon" sh*t...The way he hits...His delivery...The whole 9 yards. The quality of his catalogue...The way he crafts his songs....This dude is next level.. He had a line in that LA Leakers freestyle from the other day...."Pointers on my b*tch neck, pink spade how she quench thirst....." In hip hop history find me two lines that describe a "bad ass chic" like that. He just hits different. The way he lays it down is unmatched. Benny is dope..I rock with the Butcher.....bit he cant touch Conway. He might sell more...have more commercial appeal, whatever the case may be....but he cant touch Conway....Machine is on a COMPLETELY different level of mc.

[@seanyoung9014]

Likewise I've been listening to this hip hop thing since pretty close to the beginning and Con is one of the most complete emcees I've ever heard and proof that you don't have to go all over the top with the bars to be consistently highly impressive. He makes me think of what it would be like if Big lived to keep doing it.

[@Mamba4.8]

Extreme hyperbole. There's at least 40 rappers ever that been better

[@nickdamas2164]

​@Mamba4.8 Music is subjective...... I was listening to a recent interview Papoose did with Conway. Papoose basicly said "You're the dude whose music we play the most in here". There's a reason Rae Kwon got on stage and passed the baton. There's a reason why all these legendary 90's mc's give Conway (specifically Conway) his flowers. Either you get what they feel and why it resonates or you dont.

I have never or will EVER be in The Streets poppin' guns or doing dumb shit and therefore I can't relate in ANY way but Conway The Machine is somebody who I can tolerate this kind of content from as well as Griselda in general because not only of their delivery but the wordplay and bars they use and the AMAZING beat selection they use and they are genuine. Like I typically do NOT like talk about drugs or hoes or money and all that but these guys are the exceptions because of those keypoints I mentioned like I NEVER thought I'd enjoy THIS kind of content from anybody cuz again I can't relate to that but damn is it enjoyable as fuck. This album is fucking incredible and I love how vulnerable he was on this and what a great debut to put out on the label of one of the GOATs. Plain and simple. 🙏🏼🔥💯

Lets argue.. The reason I didn't prefer this album is because From King to a God is better, it had a little tooo much introspection for me but I get that's the theme, and most importantly, I think most of the music was 2 years old.. How do I know? I saw an interview of his where he said 2 of the songs from the Griselda album were from this album (whenever that was I'm just estimating it was 2 years ago). City on the map and Bang were supposedly from this album. That suggests the album is at least as old as the Griselda album. You can also tell by some of the adlibs he used back then being on this album. You can just tell the music is old. He's better than he was then, now and that's my gripe with it.
