Ransom - No Rest For The Wicked INITIAL REACTION

[@Soufpaww]

That State Farm jake line was so hard. When I heard it, I felt Ian have to listen to the rest of it😂

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bro what!!! That line was disgusting! 🤮 Creative af and the wordplay was FLAWLESS

[@xInsaneJuggernautx]

Ransom projects never fail! He’s so consistent from verse to verse and is just incredibly witty. This album is going to get a lot of play from me for sure. That silver spoon line might be the bar of the album for me but so many crazy lines!

[@BSideRapReviews]

Ion think I’ve heard a bad verse from him since Directors cut - he just rapping on a hole nother level. Bro I’m torn! I might have to give bar of the album to that phill shell line cus how it fit into the whole boxing scheme. That or that star farm line 🔥 too many to chose from!

[@THEJAESTER718]

He said, "I know niggas that worship HOV and recite Ether!!!" 😳🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BSideRapReviews]

Wayyyyy too many bars haha! How you feeling bout his new joint that just dropped?

[@THEJAESTER718]

@@BSideRapReviews Bars overloaded like Bourbon St during Mardi Gras!!! Chaos Is My Ladder is just another example of how this man is HIM!!!!

[@qisyn7]

the way he went from braille, to the rapper blind fury missing the scale, to losing his way in the library. might be my favorite scheme of alll off this just for the introspection.

[@sneak837]

Compromised is a Masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥

[@BSideRapReviews]

Sick af!! 🔥

[@miked698]

Bruh

[@fernandoflores-yi3mm]

Album is a grower. That second half run insane! Craven next up!!🔥

[@BSideRapReviews]

Big ole facts! I felt like the rapping was consistent start to finish, but production on back half was wayyyy better than first half! I been bumping Captions and Imperial Glaciers on repeat

[@Doctor_Beats]

Nicholas Craven beats are on another level. His three ‘Craven N’ tapes are all super dope. J Arrr has a scheme in the early part of his verse with the character that Samuel L Jackson plays in those three M Night Shamalyan movies (Unbreakable, Split, Glass) that’s sick: ‘Sold your soul for an easy break, that’s Elijah Price. Line of sight through these [dudes] that missed the Glass reference”

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bro believe it or not I never been a huge Craven fan. Always thought he was a fire producer but I don’t get super hype when I see his name like I do when I see Big Ghost or DJ Muggs or someone. What I like about him though is his beats always creative - never cookie cutter. Lol bro i NEVER catch movie bars! In my defense I haven’t seen those (never been an huge movie person) but even the movies I have scene I never catch the reference! So salute for that breakdown cus I never woulda got it 😂 that’s a tough bar!

[@Doctor_Beats]

@@BSideRapReviews Craven is on that list with Muggs for me. Real Bad Man is another cat making really dope beats for the MCs we rock with too. How you feel about that couple track Triz Nathan project? I haven’t found files yet but it looks like there two songs that aren’t on his streaming site for it.

[@super6070]

don’t see many people reacting to this FIRE album

[@dagoodbruhz7609]

I get chills when I hear imperial glaciers whewwww

[@BSideRapReviews]

That’s the song I go back to the most!! I think the rapping was crazy from start to finish but bro that beat is something different 🔥🔥🔥

[@vonversace]

Just started listening to dudes music, glad I did.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Doooope! Yeah he’s one of the best right now. What was this the first project you heard from him? I haven’t been listening crazy long / first time I heard him was 2020 with that directors cut series

[@acgthamc]

The boxing scheme on The Hawk is amazing. I counted at LEAST like 25 boxing double meaning on dat shit🔥🔥

[@BSideRapReviews]

Dawg that scheme is INSAAAAAANE!!!

[@adnanojd]

The project tuff 🇯🇲🔥💯, from the samples on production to lyricism and storytelling everything you want From an emcee. 4.5minimum mics no skips, this ain’t for the airwaves, still makin waves.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Tuff af! Bro only thing - man I wasn’t really feeling this production outside of Imperial Glaciers and all the Nicholas Craven produced tracks. I thought the lyrics was nearly a 10 outta 10 but I thought the production was round a 5/10.

[@adnanojd]

@@BSideRapReviews fair enuff

[@a7onzo_]

Bro that Redemption beat is definitely not annoying, shit 🔥 to me!

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bro I can get behind it lol! It wasn’t the worse beat on the album but bro that sample is too jarring to loop it repeatedly like that. After the verse was over they finally would play a little bit more of the sample which felt less jarring and less repetitive but by that point I’m sick of the whole sample 😂 Hopefully I explained that right. What was your fav beat on the whole project?

[@Kenpachi4207]

Appreciate it bro. Still my favorite of the year so far is sy ari dakid album the shadow in the shade. If you haven’t listened to it do yourself a favor .

[@BSideRapReviews]

Salute bro! Man I listened to it casually - i def gotta give it a real listen esp since you got it as your fav of the year. I will say that joint with Mickey Factz been one of my fav songs of the year though

[@zncuentertainment712]

Have you ever heard any Ferris Blusa tracks? If not, check out "People Under The Stairs" and "Axel Foley"....both songs are fire.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Nah never heard of him but he sound pretty dope - esp that People under the stairs joint. I like his delivery and he don’t waste bars. That Aaron Rodgers line People Under the stairs is crazy. How his full tapes sound?

[@zncuentertainment712]

@@BSideRapReviews The only full album I've heard is "Saw Your Worst and I Stayed" and it's pretty dope, other than that just some of the singles off other albums. I had never heard of dude until recently. Thanks for checking out those songs though!

[@djandtown]

ransom easily top 5 dead or alive fuck who ever says other wise, theres a lot of good lyricist but what separate Ransom from them is his consistency

[@BSideRapReviews]

Dang so fuck me too?? Haha I'm playing. Its hard to say best all time unless you don't factor in time period. If we're saying just bar for bar without factoring in time period (ie: Rakim was by far the best of his era but rap has progressed to the point where modern lyricism is much better than golden age lyricism) then I rock with that. If you do factor in where rap was at the time, he's gonna have trouble when it comes to ranking him above guys like Rakim, 3K, Black Thought etc. But if we're talking bar for bar best at the moment I think he has to be top 5....I'm thinking probably Ransom, Mach Hommy, Roc Marciano, Lupe, and Billy Woods in no particular order.

[@VWKTV]

have you heard the new jae skeese/big ghost joint?

[@BSideRapReviews]

Yeah I thought it was really solid. This the first Skeese project and he def talented af. I like his cadence and delivery and his rhyme schemes are generally crisp. Production was dope too. The beats were brighter/not as dark as typical Ghost beats but ion think that’s a bad thing. Thing I did want Skeese to improve is I think a lot of his punchlines were kinda basic at times.

[@EWeis33]

that acapella line from you lmao

[@BSideRapReviews]

Lmaooo he got right with the production on that album V Don album though 😂

[@shawnhawes7545]

Nicki was talking about Ransom filthy in the beginning

[@cokerapconnoisseur]

i love that redemption beat i gotta disagree with you

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bro for real? I actually seen a lot of people say they rocked with that beat so I respect it. For me though, it’s still crazy annoying haha

[@alonargus]

Ran is top 3 right now, IMO so I was hoping to see you react to this one. As always, another dope reaction in the books! Your ability to catch bars so quickly is impressive and entertaining to watch. But yo, I’d like to hit you about something if you could kindly direct me to a contact. Whether it be IG, email or whatever. Much love!

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bro I appreciate it!! I used to be really into battle rap cus they always have the nastiest punchlines and Ransom be giving me that battle rap feel. He’s been one of most fun to react to cus i love hearing them crazy punches for the first time. My IG is @ salute2style. If you hit me on that I’ll def see it. My email is bsiderapreviews at gmail but I’m horrible on checking that. If you shoot me a email me there just lmk so I make sure I check it. Much love brodie!

[@BSideRapReviews]

@@alonargus my guy!! Got it - you’re a real one! What did you think of the project? I gave it a quick listen (was on vacation) but gotta sit with it to digest the lyrics. My fav review site hip hop golden age has it as their best ep at the moment so far

[@alonargus]

@@BSideRapReviews I think you might be referring to another message? I sent you a message on IG, no rush, just check when you can. Hope the vaca was dope!
