In an historic period where mumble rap is roundly criticized for its lack of substance and varied lyrical content and song subject area affair, Long Isle rapper Roc Marciano proves that rapping doesn't have to exist all about deep pregnant and enlightening topics.
The former Flipmode Squad rapper and producer spits with the nonchalance plumbing fixtures for a successful pimp grizzled past years in the game.
Roc Marci has been crafting songs almost the ruthless and eternal pursuit of money effectually soul samples for years now. "Rosebudd's Revenge 2: The Bitter Dose" (RR2) is no different, and the sequel to the stellar 2017 release shows Roc sharpening his tongue on the rocks of content he always has.
"Respected" opens the album with a skit declaration: "I want to be highly respected amidst everyone. Dudes from New York, Dudes outside of New York," setting up the listener for another criminal offence-filled journey to making greenbacks.
And as Roc comes in, 1 tin't assist only but feel a certain satisfaction, a satisfaction so deep that it makes the head nod as the realization of a perfect union is at hand. "Fox fur on my evening coat / I gave these heathens hope" is grimly delivered over the ominous piano, at once highlighting the unmistakable internal and slant rhymes Roc is known for.
"Tent Urban center" continues the project in a much more upbeat style every bit Roc impresses behind the boards likewise as he does behind the mic. His flow is impeccable, mixing in coughs in a somehow catchy manner that could be compared to Migos ad libs.
"Maverick Grove" has soul-drenched production from Animoss and features Cognition the Pirate, a frequent Roc collaborator, who contributes his first of two stellar performances on the album. "Food on the table, coke on the stove / With that underground lodge Bohemian Grove," is a stirring hook to say the least. Roc adds in his own flavor the stand out track: "Knew I was gully since the youngin' with the runny olfactory organ / Even though nosotros drove here in luxury it was a bumpy road."
"Corniche" features some other excellent guest contribution, this fourth dimension from boyfriend New Yorker Action Bronson, who delivers his rhymes with a similar ease as Marci, though without the inescapable feeling that you're listening to a full badass.
"Saks Fifth" features production from Roc himself and it is perhaps my favorite instrumental on the album. "Major League" features another killer verse from Knowledge the Pirate, who works his rhymes into drug dealing discussion play with Major League Baseball game teams.
Interesting (and hilarious) production can exist found on "Bed Spring King," where Marci lays his smooth confined over the crepitate of a mattress.
The first half of the anthology is well-nigh flawless, and while the second half doesn't deliver the same level of quality in each track, it changes the sound to feature more than introspective and melancholic soul loops.
The transition begins with "Happy Endings," a track with a depression, looped 'ooo' sample. "Yeah I said we was pimps, everything that I said I meant / I'm a human being and you a b—- so nosotros can't settle this like men" makes it clear that even over more mournful production, Roc doesn't play around.
"Kill You" and "67 Lobby," unfortunately, snap the listener out of the beautiful feel of the second half of the project. Each track contributes a jarring instrumental in comparing to the more melancholic production of the preceding and following tracks, which actually stinks because "Muse" is equally as somber and gratifying equally "Happy Endings."
The "Pimp Smack Skit" is a nice cutting of a soul sample and throwback soulful vocals in a short track that repeats, "Jesus is watching you."
"Power" ends the anthology in a fitting way. Roc flows confidently and purposefully while maintaining his irresistible wordplay and sound. "When the waters got choppy I was in the driver's seat / steer my family out of poverty / now my links entwined within my taco meat," showing how Roc did his dirty work to provide a time to come for himself and his family. The chilling addition of the classic passionate soul singing at the finish is a perfect catastrophe to an album nearly perfect in its execution.
Details and nuance aside, the most glowing compliment I can give Roc Marciano and "RR2" is that it simply sounds good. Over and over and over again.
The amazing and layered product never fails to make my head nod and Roc's effortless ability to make tricky rhymes and quotable one-liners is something that volition never grow stale.
