[FRESH ALBUM] Joey Bada$$ - ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$

Album's not really what I was expecting. I feel like the album has too much overall pop appeal. I'm not being one of those people who preach about missing "the old joey" as I understand artists are always striving to differ their sound to maintain relevance.

The intro track is done great. I really like Ring The Alarm, all of the features went in on that, that song is probably the highlight of the album. J cole fits very well as a feature on Legendary, the beat suits him well. Those are probably the highlight tracks of the album. No track stood out to me as being really shit except for devastated, before the album track listing came out I was really hoping that devastated wouldn't be on the album and was disappointed when I found out it was. I feel like devastated really doesn't fit the sound of the album.

Overall, not what I was expecting but still enjoying it nonetheless. I would say that it doesn't stand up to 1999 or b4da$$. This is just my first listen through so of course my opinion will probably change as I listen to it a bit more.
