10 Second Album Reviews

Artist: Odd Future
Album: The Odd Future Tape Vol 2
Review: Bullshit. I actually paid $15 bucks for this. Morbid curiosity I suppose. If I look at it financially, the investment in one good (not great) Frank Ocean track plus 2 other Ocean appearances and one other track that's ehhhh..... not a wise one. This record isn't worth the time it takes to download.

Artist: The Mars Volta
Album: Noctourniquet
Review: This is basically crap. I got bored midway through the first track. When making this record, I imagine the conversation went like this:
Cedric- "Hey Omar. We haven't put a record in awhile right?"
Omar- "I don't know man. I'm busy with other shit."
Cedric- "Alright. Well I'll take some dudes in the studio, lay down 13 tracks and when you aren't busy, you can come and record the guitars."
Omar- "Yeah whatever."
1 month later
Cedric- "Oh man. You're a genius Omar."
Omar- "I never even listened to the tracks you laid down."
Cedric- "That makes it even more amazing."
Omar- "Fuck you Cedric."
Cedric- "I love you Omar."

Artist: Robert Glasper
Album: Black Radio
Review: This record is incredible. Perfect mix of jazz, hip hop, soul, and r&b. Some great guests on here too: Badu, Mos Def, Bilal, and Musiq Soulchild to name a few. Get this record. But dont just GET it.... BUY it.
