Rome Streetz - Kiss the Ring INITIAL REACTION

CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bruh going crazy right now!!

[@mdot80]

He doesn't miss

[@alonargus]

Another great reaction, you do not miss bro! Highlights: - Finally an Armani verse you like 🤣 - Calling for an execution for the sound engineer 🤣

[@BSideRapReviews]

My guy!! Preciate that! Lmao I’m crying 2 firsts for the channel 😂😂

[@facelessronin9644]

Fam, it's great seeing someone do a review when you can tell they truly love the art of rhyme. I'm here for it 100% and loving the technical breakdowns of multisylibalism and speaking to individual aspects of the production as well. As for the album, Griselda is having a he'll of a run this year. I would probably give this one a strong 8/10. Conductor really shined on this one and Rome is dope asf.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Preciate that brodie!!! Bro right now they have 6 albums in my top 20 (they won't all make it to til the end of the year) if you include the Boldy James and Mach Hommy projects from earlier this year as well. Conductor is becoming one of my fav producers. He manages to be unique in a lane where I think its difficult to take a ton of risks because of how minimal the sound is. I like Sadhugold for this same reason. Year 8/10 is how I'm feeling - if you do half points - I'm feeling about a 8.5.

[@chidodivisible24]

Ugly Balenciaga's beat is fucking crazy, no matter how many times i play that track, you'll see me with a "yugh" face (even in public lmao). Props for the review, glad that there are people covering this album, it really be griselda year

[@BSideRapReviews]

That beat is insane! It would be my fav beat of the album but bro the second beat on reversible is WIIIIIIIILD! Conductor been going crazy this year

[@frenklynp]

I gota video idea. Give us a breakdown of the technicalities u listen for in music (bar, syllables, rhyme schemes, internals, modulations, ect) and kinda explain those for the people who dont listen to music that deeply.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Yo this is a GREAT idea! The wheels already started spinning as I’m reading this. Ima at art working on this soon as I get through this batch of reactions - Preciate the suggestion bro! ✊🏾

20:42 😆 Didn't even notice this until you pointed it out. Put my headphones on and a tear came to my eye

[@BSideRapReviews]

Lmaooo ay I listened to it with my airpods on and it wasn’t nearly as bad. Mix still sounds bad but just regular bad…it was unlistenable when I had the real headphones on 😂😂😂

[@thorocomments]

I LOVE Cry Champagne, especially in the headphones. Smoke something before listening.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Yoo I listened to it again with my AirPods instead of the head phones i reacted with (they’re inexpensive version of studio head phones) it didn’t sound nearly as bad. Still didnt think the mix was good but it didn’t mess up the song like I initially thought it did 😂

[@festivetimes6684]

Unmatchable commentary with authentic honesty in the mix makes for a great vid man. Fire album reaction, slick catches for bars and schemes. Beats be going crazy too🔥 Good Day Sir!

[@BSideRapReviews]

Salute!! Preciate it 🙏🏾 this one was super fun to react to - been waiting on this joint since they announced him to Griselda and it didn’t disappoint!

[@victormontalvo416]

one of the best albums of the year love it.

[@BSideRapReviews]

For sure! This one is in my top 10 so far! It’ll def be on my year end list

[@5HeadTaste]

Too much 🔥 from this weekend. This probably my favorite from the batch. Dope review 🙏

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bruh the amount of dope music was ridiculous! The consensus is that the best have been between this and the Boldy James joint!”

[@llamapie24]

Can’t wait for the Boldy & Craven + woods & Messiah Muzik reactions to complete the insane run of classics that dropped last Friday

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bro who you telling! I thought the weekend where Roc Marci, JID, and Mach Hommy dropped was one of the best single weekends of music I witnessed but this right there with it! Ima try to get the Billy Woods joint up tonight. KZbin been been taking forever to run their checks and process their videos so might be tomorrow - but ima try to get both up by tomorrow.

Freddie Gibbs dropping a mid album and getting overshadowed by three other projects on the same day was not on my 2022 bingo card...

[@toussaintloverture7275]

Great review, Great album..appreciate you sharing your knowledge on beats and rhymes!

[@BSideRapReviews]

Ay I appreciate the support!! Salute bro!

[@MisterGlaf]

I like Rome Streetz, but I do think his flow lack variety (one dimensional?). You can pretty much take any of his verses and put it on another beat, you wouldn’t notice. Could be a choice but for me it takes a lot away from his appeal although I think he’s super good :)

[@BSideRapReviews]

Nah bro i think this is all facts. I think you better articulated something I was feeling when I was saying he only has one gear. His rapping is extremely impressive but after a certain amount of time you get used to it. I don’t think it’s a huge issue on shorter projects, but on a 50 minute project it gets monotonous. Thankfully, at least in my opinion I think the features kinda helped make up for the lack in variety of flows. It would be nice to see him get into different flows like he did on Serving.

[@JustinGaines-vy5me]

@@BSideRapReviewsno worries fam on Noise Kandy 5 he is approaching shit much different in a dope ass way he did a unreleased song at a show I attended in Washington DC I have footage but out of respect am keeping it in the chamber it’s a different gear for certain he’s tapping into

[@yodaphobic96]

It’s a weird thing because you can’t take away how impressive the rapping is but I think what you said is what keeps him from possibly being the best rapper right now. I just think guys like Ransom, Mach, or woods have more memorable content.

[@NoelAdam777]

Bruhhh u decided to hear Cry Champagne with only the left ear ahhh 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead Hands down one of my fav reactors man. Keep it up 👍🏽

[@kentekuzan]

yeah honestly a nonsensical mixing decision

That hidden track in REVERSABLE at your 27:05 or 1:28 into the track itself

[@BSideRapReviews]

Brooooo I been listening to that song a RIDICULOUS amount!! Idk if you use Spotify but i know for a fact it’ll be the first song on my “on repeat” playlist. It’s early still, but that’s one of my favs songs of the year 🔥🔥🔥

[@xInsaneJuggernautx]

When I heard the Armani Caesar verse, you were the first person I thought about! Che Noir definitely gave her a pep talk before stepping in the booth 😂😂. Great to hear new music from Rome for sure, him and Westside were a great combination as far as technical rapping and creative production. Will definitely say the album was a bit long for me and I would’ve preferred it to be 12-14 tracks. But overall (still needing to listen to billy woods new album), this is the second best album I’ve personally heard from the weekend next to the Boldy and Craven.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Lmaoo bro what!! Coached her up like nick Saban! Ay from now on - I need more than that though - I want Che writing for cease 😂 Yeah I’m right there with you. I think if they trimmed this down to the best 12 tracks this is up there with some of the best Griselda tapes all time! Bro I heard great stuff bout that Boldy tape. I’m listening/reacting to it today - I’m too hype for it

@@BSideRapReviews wanted to ask what’s your fav track off that Kenny mason album

[@BSideRapReviews]

@@CoryTheDestroyer gotta say that album was a bit of a let down to me and wasn’t as good as Angelic Hoodrat or Angelic Hoodrat Supercut but Nosedive is a BANGER!! I think that was one of the few songs that fully showed off his creativity when it comes to mixing that trap sound with the rock sound. I listened to Halloween and Dip a lot cus I was bumping it since he dropped the Pup Pack EP. No idea why Get an Idea didn’t make it to the full project though - that woulda been one of the best songs on it imo What bout you - what’s yours?

I noticed after the fact, it ain’t nearly as noticeable if I’m listening with AirPods or something.

It ain’t unbearable but it ain’t good imo.
