[@jeffreydwang]

I was coming into this album 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 feeling very excited about Anthony Fantano giving a beautiful, long 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 of DiCaprio 2. However, this was not the case on this video as he failed to deliver what his audience expected of him. His tone was a bit quiet, unenthusiastic and bland. His overall passion to express his opinion was not present in most of the video. The way Mr. Melon delivers his flow is consistently boring. Where he should have put emphasis on words he did not and worst of all, he didn't give it a 10. C'mon Melon, you know you want to give it a 10. Overall I'm feeling a light 3 to decent 4 on this 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰. Tran- -sition have you given this 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 a listen? Did you love it did you hate it? What would you rate it? You're the best, you're the best. What should I review next? Hit the like if you like. Please subscribe and please don't cry. Hit the bell as well. Good Evening, Melon, forever.

I find it weird how the weakest part of the album is the features in my opinion. Ferg had a nice hook but the only feature that was really good was J. Cole. Which is surprising to me because I’m not a huge fan of Cole. Either the features were just lacking or it shows just how good JID is, that I find the features to be the worst part Either way this is one of the best albums of the year for me What? Was I supposed to make a meme? Edit: I probably should’ve made this clearer. I didn’t think any of the features were bad. At worst I think they’re average.

It’s dope cuz he hella changes the vibe then that drop hits heavy af with jids flow and cadence

[@CircumcisedUnicorn]

The way JID flows over the bass after Ferg makes me wanna throw my laptop out of the window

I suddenly like this album more than I did before.

[@mondlidladla6563]

" But can you play it backwards " XD lol

[@MisterKOak]

I definitely like this album more than The Never Story! Production, features, flow... all on-point. I'm excited to see where J.I.D goes from here! The only negative I would give it are the DJ Drama co-signs. Felt random, and unnecessary. My score would be an 8.5, or 9/10! Thanks for reviewing it, Mr. Fantano!

[@unclemorton6430]

The lack of yellow flannel frightened me

[@KetchupOverdose]

Yep..... 8 is right

I agree. I really enjoy this album

[@dysperdotted]

jid does it again. FAV. TRACKS - SLICK TALK, OFF DEEZ, 151 RUM, OFF DA ZOINKYZ, WORKIN’ OUT. LEAST FAV. TRACK - HOTBOX. JID - DICAPRIO 2 / 2018 / DREAMVILLE / TRAP RAP, HARDCORE HIP HOP, THE TYPE OF SHIT 70 YEAR OLDS WOULD SAY IS BRINGING BACK HIP HOP. 8/10.

[@Mikey_mau5]

I first heard of jid last summer with his "never" song and I fell in love. His flow is so good. His aggressive lines yet never over doing it are so perfect. He's definitely one of the best lyrical rappers right now. Absolutely love this album.

[@remysteal1]

Never heard JID before just heard this thing 3 days ago and was instantly impressed. This kid’s got some heat. GREAT FUCKIN ALBUM

*How do you think Tiiied is the worst track? It's one of the best produced songs on the album and Ella Mai NAILED it*

[@sean169100]

Its a lot of people's worst track as well.

[@elliotyu9951]

It’s bogged down by pop

[@DeeMulaah]

Because the track isn't put together well at all. And honestly, if you know who JID,6lack, and Ella Mai are then you would expect some amazing shit from them on a track together.

[@jajassa1]

If you look at Tiied on youtube people actually think six lack saved that song, its hilarious

[@user-ho7ly1ok7b]

After a couple listens, this album has quickly cracked my top 3 albums of the year, lyrically and production wise.

[@lsi3585]

This album is the greatest project I have ever heard in my life.

[@LordLucario99]

check out daft punks “get lucky”. sound of the summer

[@troyduplooy5365]

I'd give it a strong 7 Like it is excellent lyrically and JID shows talent, but I feel as though it wasn't very unique. It focused more on rapping well and less on being artistic (not a huge amount, but still quite a bit). And also coming out of this project, I didn't really feel like I knew what JID is about and who he is as a person. Sure, it is an album that is kinda meant for being played as a banger, but even in E-40's most recent album (which I listened to on the same day as JID's, and was happy to see that it really is a return to form for him), which is basically meant to be played as a fun, banger album as well, gave me a nice look at E-40 as a character. Basically, my main issue is this album doesn't really grab me onto the persona of JID like The Chronic put me onto Dr Dre, Doggystyle put me onto Snoop Dogg, and the first Eminem album which I listened to, The Eminem Show, put me onto Eminem.The album is an absolute banger, but it slightly lacks the charisma that other albums (such as the ones that I have mentioned above) that are excellent and groundbreaking have. Due to this, I wouldn't give the album a light 8, but a strong 7 due to that extra push of charisma it lacks.

[@keelowiththesteelo233]

Troy du PLOOY I think that’s what The Never Story was for. For you figure who JID is, so you can capture him as a person and see what it took for him to get where he is now. Like in general he tells his whole life story kind of in that one song and btw I think The Never Story is much better than DiCaprio 2

[@troyduplooy5365]
