Phizzals Generation Y & Techno Love

I haven't done a review of an album in a while, so I felt that I would do someone on the come up, a Baltimore rapper, Phizzals. I decided to review his album Generation Y & Techno Love



Now with me knowing Phizzals I feel that I have to be honest. This album is nice. With this review I'm going to start with the good and then my criticism. 

When I first heard Phizzals rap in college, I knew he was different, because he wasn't doing what a typical rapper would do. Phizzals would be the only person that I knew that would jump on a Lady Gaga beat and sound good. Fast forward to my last year, I remember when Phizzals decided the title for the album, I looked at him and said "how you gonna fit songs for this album title" Now that this album is out here's the review.
GOOD SIDE
The Tracks That I Like
  1. Hot Shit
  2. Swagga That She Like
  3. House Party
  4. No Bags (Feat. Results)
  5. Where Tha Birds At
  6. Big Boy Swag
  7. Don't Go
  8. Where I Be At
With these tracks Phizzals is so confident. I feel Big Boy Swag really describes Phizzals as a whole. As a result, that is something I can really admire because he's saying "I am a big guy but you gonna love me", which is very respectful. With me loving to dance, these songs will really get you moving on the dance floor. I feel that these tracks are where Phizzals reallly shined on.


CRITICISM

The album title in my opinion doesn't fit the album. I remember when Phizzals came up with the title he was inspired by the Beyonce's "I Am...Sasha Fierce" album. He explained to me that half the album will be about him and the other would be able love. I know he tried too but in my opinion the album didn't match the title. In addition, the song Love Recession could have been left off the album it doesn't match any of the others songs, that song fell short. After about a minute of the song, I couldn't listen to it anymore. Now, Tell You Bout It I actually like the chorus, but other than that, that's the only thing I like about that song.

In conclusion, this album by Phizzals is nice. I am very proud of him because he has definitely grown as a rap artist. Of course, the album has some bumps in the roads but it doesn't take away that he definitely has skills on the mic. RESPECT
                                                                  
                                                                       8/10

  1. NICE! You know I always let you know how to improve your writings and I was gonna tell you should always end with good will, but I see why you did it the way you did. NICE! I love you'll!!!! And my favorite three songs (Swagga That She Like, Where The Birds At, and Don't Go) are on ya top. That's why I love you. I know music... I don't know any other guy that has a "sense of variety" when it comes to music.

    I love to watch Phizzals perform. He be so into his music. Did you come to Capitol's last talent show? Because he performed Swagga That She Like and it has a nice little dance also :))
