For a debut album Lil Nas X delivers the goods, but I couldn’t help but feel slightly underwhelmed due to the huge hype surrounding this album. Most of this album just brings a certain fresh energy that only Lil Nas can bring he injects uniqueness and something different into the rap genre with his flow and lyrical content. He tackled a lot of things on the album, including the pressure of being the first mainstream gay rappers and people telling him he won’t make it also tackling issues with his colour and how that also can affect his success in the industry, but it also offers a hopeful message of staying true to yourself and working hard to achieve what you want in life.
For me, the album falters about halfway through. The same energy that was so infectious for the album unfortunately doesn’t stay consistent, and there were slightly too many songs that were blandly written, boring and didn’t feel part of the same album, luckily the energy and high standard was bought back by the end, but the album lacked consistency.
My favourite songs ranked:
1. Industry baby ft Jack Harlow
2. Scoop ft Doja Cat
3. Dead right now
4. Montero call me by your name
5. Dollar Sign Slime ft Megan Thee Stallion
6. That’s what I want
7. Don’t want it
8. Am I dreaming ft Miley Cyrus
9. Sun goes down
10. One of me ft Elton John
11.Lost in the citadel
12.The art of realization
13.Tales of Dominica
14.Life after Salem
15.Void
Overall, Lil Nas X offers a refreshing new energy and injects uniqueness into the rap industry. And for a debut album he tackled some surprisingly deep issues. However, the album for me lacks consistency and doesn’t fully live up to the huge amount of hype surrounding it.
Overall score 7.5/10
