Been waiting for this! Might be recency bias talkin, but this at LEAST top 3 HWH right now.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Ion think that’s a crazy statement! Right now, off only a couple listens, I think 8 side B is the best, then 5, then 6, then I like this one after that. So it’s right outside the top 3 for me

[@facelessronin9644]

For me, it goes Side B, 7 then Side A but maaaan after I sit with this for a few weeks I feel like 10 to gonna be up there for me. I don't want to let the recency bias cloud my judgement.

[@andyby]

For some reason I disliked this album a lot on first listen, but it really grew on me. Some great cuts on there! Conductor for real kills it on the production. He is cementing himself as a legendary producer. I happened to use the God Is Love sample a week or two before this album dropped so I can tell you it's just one sample, but the way he flipped it is pretty crazy.

[@BSideRapReviews]

This album kinda highlighted how important a good opener is for the album. Idk if this is reason you disliked it at first, but I feel like Flygod Jr digs a huge hole for the album and can kinda affect how you listen to the rest of the album. I was watching some of my fav reaction channels and you can feel the energy change on it lmao. Even myself, I was way less tolerant of BS than I normally woulda been lol! But year man the highlights are dope - thats why I rock with the album. Conductor is having a crazy year. Between this and Rome Streetz projects - he has some of my fav beats of the year. Ha I thought so - them old gospel songs always have that sound. You got a link to your joint? I'm tryna hear it!

[@lukan9293]

I used the sample for shoot-outs in Soho too that's wild 😭 Conductor a machine..

[@andyby]

@@BSideRapReviews I swear I already wrote a detailed response that seems to have disappeared lol. Anyways, the thing that put me off HWH10 is probably due to my confusion about what to expect. WSG has been teasing the Michelle Records project with all those beautiful soul loops, a whole lot of Sadhu instrumentals apparently. Then it was said that Michelle was dropping halloween. Then it was suddenly HWH10. And then it seems to not have any of the teased Michelle stuff. I get the impression that HWH10 wasn't really planned at all, and that he realized the timing for it was good and decided to just grab a bunch of stuff from the stash and put it on there. It has some great tracks for sure, but it does seem to not really have a vision or any bigger concept. My flip of the God Is Love sample is stashed lmao, especially after hearing Conductor's version... I post stuff on my IG tho: beatsbyshwish. As for the God Is Love sample, you might enjoy listening to the original: I Know You Need Love by The Valentine Brothers

[@kentekuzan]

Stove and Conductor are album MVPs Rome would be too if he'd been on more songs

[@BSideRapReviews]

That’s facts! Conductor different man. When i first heard him I thought he was a one trick pony cus his beats like Euro Step, Frank Murphy, Michael Irving etc sound similar cus they got that distortion over the sample. Turns out, the dude prob the most versatile out of that camp. Stove is long overdue for a project. Is he an official Griselda member right now?

[@andyby]

@@BSideRapReviews The weird sound you know Conductor from comes from the SP-sampler he uses. The wobble effect and the grainy effect that he tends to use both come from this sampler. Stove is an official Griselda member now. Hopefully the next Griselda project is Stove! Seems like he really works well with West, so a Stove album with West as executive producer would probably be fire!

[@BSideRapReviews]

@@andyby Preciate the knowledge bro!! I love the sound - I can’t place anyone else using it to the degree he does it and i love that he has versatility outside of that. Gotcha that’s what I was thinking! I’m ready for this debut from him. I love Roc Marci (moreso as a rapper than producer admittedly) and I hate that the politics apparently caused a strain in their relationship but I think stove is going to sound even better on Gunn curated beats that Roc beats.

[@manjotsethi3131]

Boldy James was missing from this album in my opinion! He could’ve brought the tracks that were my least favorite become my most favorite! But, maybe I’m biased as fuck cuz I think Boldy is a top tier rapper he just needs to only develop a few more flows and he perfect as a MC! Also Mac Don’t Stop and Super Kick Party had phenomenal production. Red Death was a complete missed opportunity to just include all the grimy Griselda boys on one track. Boldy Ransom Mach and 38 Spesh. Include them alongside Benny, Conway, Rome, Stove, and West…. Mannnnnn that shit would’ve been INSANE cuz that beat went crazy smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@BSideRapReviews]

Lol I’m 1000% sure that he coulda replaced at least one of those stove god features with Boldy haha! I’m with you. I didn’t always feel that way about Boldy but he’s been improving dramatically in the last few years. Yeah you right bout red death. But to be real with you - and this is just speculation - I think the guys in Griselda don’t all rock with each other. They never talk down on each other but they say things - esp Conway - that makes me think they not all on the same page. So I say all that to say, I would love a full project or at least a song that displays all of Griselda’s talent but I ain’t holding my breath for it.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Haha ay the only person who trippin is Gunn and Flygod Jr for making tha trash lmaoo. I maybe shoulda elaborated more but I'm not even hating the fact that he used a rap beat - its just the fact that the beat itself is awful. I rock with several trap rappers like Carti, Travis scott, Nudy (well...he fell off but you get the point). This beat here just had the generic hi hat and snare that come stock on garage band, plus the worse piano chord that sound like something I used to make on FL studios back in high school lmaoooo.

See I can def see that though! Science class was song I was most conflicted about cus it’s parts that I absolutely love and parts that kinda meh.

Then the drum pattern literally the most generic pattern you can create and the drums themselves sound like the drums that come stock on any beat making software 😂 I got a newborn and my wife be playing him these rap songs for kids that teach them they ABCs and what not….I swear the beats on there go harder than this 😭😭😭

That’s tough - he got so many I like for different reasons but off top of my head I’m thinking it’s between Michael Irving, gorilla monsoons, 1st verse of Bautista, and Eurostep

[@alonargus]

This one was very underwhelming for me. With seeing the track-list and this being allegedly the finale to a dope series, perhaps I came in with expectations too high. I’ve given it 3 listens so far but it just sounds mediocre to me. Some of the features definitely delivered but I feel there’s just as many let downs (if not more).

Up and down album FOR SURE! I honestly didn’t go into this with too high expectations because when he delayed Michelle and dropped this instead i honestly thought it’s another one of those projects he did in a couple days.

It ain’t even cus it’s a simple trap beat either - I love trap beats- this was just the most basic, cookie cutter trap best imaginable and the drums ain’t even sound good lmaoo. WSG on a proper trap beat night go hard though. Flygod jr need to be making 5 beats a day for 3 summers like Kanye before he on another Gunn album 😂😂😂

[@BandsMaysTVCEO]

💯 on that Benny flow! He’s like my 2nd favorite rapper next to Ransom and I did not like this Benny verse

[@BSideRapReviews]

Oh yah that’s a dope 1,2 punch right there. Those 2 of my favs as well. I will say, in Benny’s defense, the flow switch ups normally go over well. 5 to 50 is one of my fav Benny songs and I love that flow on brickmile to Montana as well

[@BandsMaysTVCEO]

@@BSideRapReviews yeah I like that flow most of the time. I guess for that song and verse in Red Death you just gotta be in that zone. Sometimes when I listened to it I was into it more other times I was like what are you doing. 10 was a solid project. But I like 8 and 9 waaaaaaay better

[@Matthew-xl5bc]

This album is heat but FlyGod Jr was just straight trash. Remove a couple of the missteps on the album and this could of been the best Griselda album this year.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Yeah Gunn was playing in our face with that flygod jr mess lol - then to have it start the album…smh! Big fact! As the executive producer - Gunn gotta get better at trimming the fat cus i also said the same thing bout the Rome Streetz album that he executive produced (except I think that one still might be best Griselda release despite that)

[@Matthew-xl5bc]

@@BSideRapReviews Yea for sure. I still think TT4 is best Griselda album from this year. The production was fire and Benny was rapping out of his mind. Plus the features were fire too with J Cole in my opinion having the best feature verse of the year. Griselda have been amazing this year as they have like 5 projects in my top 15 for this year.

[@BSideRapReviews]

@@Matthew-xl5bc it might switch but that’s what I got too. Rapping was incredible and literally no fluff on it. On my AOTY list, they’re not 1, 2, and 3, but I got TT4, the Kiss the ring, then GDMM, in order and high on the list. Then Boldy’s killing nothing only a few spots after it. They having a crazy year

[@adankpancake]

it was cool, i thought it was a bit disappointing

[@BSideRapReviews]

Can’t argue wit that! The highlights were high afc but it def underachieved in a lot of moments, esp given how star studded the producer list and feature list was.

1. A great beat to rap on was wasted for the Rashid (RZA produced the track) 2. Flygod Jr is very bad lyrically and the beat was very simplistic too. 😳 3. Super Kick Party is a good track and nothing more. 4. Shootouts In Soho was decent but not great. The beat was good and the verses were acceptable. Rocky's flow was very good 5. Peppas was very good. I wish Talib's verse was more structured and focused. 6. Nigo Louis was akward with all that Pootie talk and WSG verse was too slow for me. 7. BDP had some of my favourite verses on the entire project from all 3 8. Science Class was a very good pose cut with Ghostface and Rae shining! 9. God Is Love needed a WSG verse! 10. Switches On Everything was remarkable only for El-P verse 11. Mac Don't Stop is just pure chaos! Great rapping from WSG 12. Red Death was a sleeper. Half of the verses was bad. My least favourite track. Conclusion: Stove God Cooks features are bloated on Westside Gunn's projects when are a lot of them. 1 or 2 are fine. 10 is not even in top 3 HWH series for me. The last track is boring. I always skip the longest tracks on Westside's projects. He rapped like 4 bars on it. I hate when WSG curated a song without even rapping on it. This is lazy. Ostertag is probably one of my favourite Griselda songs ever and I hate that he isn't on the track. 10 had good features and mediocre to good rapping from WSG. The beats were good but the intro and outro drag too much. I need to hear better beats from Conductor cause he sounds too much like Alchemist. 7.5/10 (6/12 good songs).

[@BSideRapReviews]

Nahhh this review is TUFFFF 🔥🔥🔥 Personally I love superkick party but I mean you’re spot on bout everything. Gunn be using Stove like a designated hitter in basketball. It honestly feels like he just uses him as a replacement for his own verse. I’d be fine with it if the quality of his verses didn’t fall off. I will say though - there’s so many rappers in Griselda that idk why he doesn’t just spread the wealth like he did on HWH8 side b. And 7.5 seems pretty spot on to me.

[@george0377]

@@BSideRapReviews this is final installment from what I heard. I hoped for better WSG verses 😥

[@deadlyDM]

Such a shame to waste a RZA track on that AA Rashid nonsense. You're not that deep bro 😴

[@BSideRapReviews]

Lmao bro so many people disappointed with this track. My thing was I honestly didn’t have the highest expectations for this track. RZA one of my fav producers all time because I’m a Wu fan but he hasn’t evolved like say a DJ Muggs has. Honestly this was the best best I heard from this man in forever haha! I was honestly more upset about them wasting the Peace Flygod beat off his last joint 😂

[@spartanv4335]

bro red death has such great verses, but that chorus, if you even want to call it a chorus, is NOT it bruh

[@BSideRapReviews]

That chorus is rock vocals - I like experimental stuff and genre bending stuff so I honestly ain’t mind it…but it regardless it only took up a small fraction of the song that I think it’s much bigger issues like that Jay Worthy verse and the fact that the song longer than a Quentin Tarantino movie 😂

[@spartanv4335]

@@BSideRapReviews yeah fair, i just think it came out of the blue, and didn’t really have a place being there. also, i honestly disagree on your take about benny’s verse, i really enjoyed it. maybe it’s cause i don’t listen to a ton of his solo stuff, but it was hard

[@orianultimer]

Nah youre bugging by skipping the Eastside Flip verse Best verse on the album

[@BSideRapReviews]

Chill out 😭😭😭😭

[@DanMonio]

Is this like a 8 year old😂😂 bruh chill. Even though I agree the beat is trash😂

Ay bro, the bad part about that is that I wasn’t even tryna be funny - I was gon give him a pass if it was like a kid or something lmaoooo 😭😭😭😭
