Starting point is 00:00:00 After listening to the first four tracks of Pistols and Pearls by Kodak Black, I am convinced that this man only put out this album to promote unknown artists. The only artist I see as a feature that I know, and I'm not saying I know every artist, but I do know the big ones, is Money Bag Yo. Not Money Bagel, ESTG, which might as well be the same person. But, you know, don't come at me. Hey, I'm just stating the facts. so anyways
Starting point is 00:00:28 card i black is back again i don't know what he's going to do with this album it seems like he doesn't even uh seem to be put on any effort into the promo as he literally dropped us out of nowhere i believe i don't think there was any single for this album and also um the features that he has for a track number two and three got to be one got to be a candidate for one of the worst features of 2023 so anyways putting that to the side because i've only heard four tracks and i'm not going to be judging the entire album based off that the rest of it can be straightfire from five down but i do like number one of course codec by himself and i definitely like number four i like the melody that he used for number four and i feel like that if kodak always keeps evolving
Starting point is 00:01:16 and changing his sound and melodies he may get a couple more calls for kendrick to help him out with his album which i always talk about cosines and the importance and the power of a cosine in hip-hop makes people look at you completely different because no matter how you want slice it people are sheep and at the end of the day they see one of the coolest most prominent artists that we've ever had in the hip hop industry cosigned somebody like kodak even though he's already a legend more people are going to start giving him credit what credit is due so anyways with this album i can't really give a definitive review because of course i haven't listened to it and i don't like giving reviews as soon as i listen to an album but we can't follow the facts of the album.
Starting point is 00:01:59 So this is 21 track project. It includes guest appearances from ESTG and a bunch of other artists that you probably don't even know who they are. No disrespect. We just keep in it eight more than 92 with you. So, Yack is back,
Starting point is 00:02:13 which is just, you know, the nickname of Kodak just in case you was, you know, kind of confused. But anyways, yeah, the rapper confirmed or social media, confirmed a release on social media last week, which lets you know that there was no type of plan
Starting point is 00:02:31 for a rollout for this album, which is unfortunate as if it's 21 tracks, you would think you would get some type of rollout. But once you saw the features on this album, you realize that this was kind of just for the artist up under his wing and not for Kodak himself. And that's unfortunate because it's not unfortunate. I take that back.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I'm wrong with that one because I haven't listened to the entire album, but for what I listened to, I like the first one in the fourth one, and not a four. That's a 50% bad in average. And so hopefully the rest of the album can provide more bangers. As I felt like the fourth track with the Spanish artists, I thought that was just straightfire. I could see that one actually blowing up. But Kodak, of course, came out to congratulate his fans and just to thank them for supporting him. And he said, quote, thanks to everyone that's been on his journey with me.
Starting point is 00:03:24 loving and thugging i couldn't find peace without all the violets that's wild that's wild to say but anyways he said at atlantic records it's been well nothing but gratitude in the utmost respect you know this is an interesting move if this is the last album that he has under atlantic records and then he goes to whatever he wants to go which a lot of people are guessing is going to be i think it's called empire where all the new artists are signing under the universal music anyways um if everybody's acting like when you're on your last album the label doesn't promote it then why not just surprise drop it and put a bunch of artists who don't really get to shine like that on major artists or major label artists so hopefully that makes sense i'm
Starting point is 00:04:15 thinking i'm thinking this is just a throwaway as that when he said Atlanta records is being well I think that's a telltale sign that everything may have not been going the best. And he just decided to put out this project with some, I don't want to be disrespectful, but basically no names and promote his homies. So anyways, click my only tree in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about Codec Black and his latest album titled Pistols and Pearls? What a name.
Starting point is 00:04:45 That is insane. And will you be giving it? Alyssa.
