    This EP has a mixed variety of songs and I believe they all pretty good with the exception of Panini, it's just too short and not very lyrically impressive. My favorite track is C7osure which is just such an earworm and I love the way its structured. All in all this is a pretty solid EP from this artist.

    All the songs are really different in their sound which makes the album so easy to listen to.

    This album has its lows and highs, but overall I liked it a lot. Most of the songs are very catchy and I can see myself coming back to it later. Some of the songs I’m not to fond of. I don’t like the album as a whole, but the strengths of the album really stand out.
    Fav Tracks:
    Panini, Rodeo, C7osure, Bring You Down
    Meh:
    F9mily, Bring U Down
    Least Fav Tracks:
    Old Town Road, Old Town Road Remix

    Un EP muy artístico, con la presencia de la nueva reina del rap, Cardiosa B, Rodeo la mejor canción, así eSZA, aunque le arda a todo el mundo del humor pop. :*

    Did he... do the rare? Did he make something new?

    Something that seems so obvious as to be dumb, like just using someone's song, is just evidence that it's a great idea. So great that you coulda done it yourself, but you didn't.

    This whole album sounds kinda dumb. That's why it's so great. Cause I still love it.

    People underrate him so much, this EP is something we have never seen before. Lil Nas X has done the impossible, and delivered an EP with a successful blend of two thriving music genres, he definitely deserves much more credit than he's getting for this.

    Lil Nas X's debut EP actually strikes hard in creating a bridge in the gap between rap and country music. The songs are fun, funny, and satisfying in Nas' case, in the sense that he made a strong effort and still has room to grow. 9/10 = A

    I absolutely loved the project and there is much more potential and growth that we have yet to even see yet. I think that Lil Nas X did a fantastic job at proving people that he is able to make music that is better than Old Town Road, because many people have doubted him. My favorite tracks on this EP are "Panini", "Kick It", and "Rodeo" with Cardi B. I can't wait to hear more from him.I absolutely loved the project and there is much more potential and growth that we have yet to even see yet.

    Every song is good and interesting, it feels refreshing and true to himself. He did not force more country-rap down our throats for another hit which I respect, this may not be the most thought out album but he was pressured to release his music as many assumed he would become a "one hit wonder". Overall, his style of music I like, and I have added many of his songs to my playlist. ManyEvery song is good and interesting, it feels refreshing and true to himself.

    This is hard to understand, it's not hip-hop, it's not rock, it's not pop, it's not country, what's this? This is the most eclectic thing I've heard from an artist who is currently at the height of his popularity. I do not know if it's good or bad, it's just interesting, something unexpected. It has a very good production, its songs do not sound like demos or songs without finishing as itThis is hard to understand, it's not hip-hop, it's not rock, it's not pop, it's not country, what's this?

    I mean yeah, it certainly has its flaws, it's so unique in its genre-bending manner. Its a fusion of rock, country, rap, and many other genre elements that provide for a very entertaining experience. Not just that, but Lil Nas X's delivery is not something you will find in modern music normally. Also, besides that, most of the songs on the EP are bangers anyway

    I admire how versatile he can be. The 7 may be a little bit of a bias seeing how ive heard my brother play old town road almost 100 times plus the radio. This artist has potential. Also with all the memes that get made out of him. He may be the next Lil Dicky.

    For an [EP] album until it does well, because his songs are lively and very sensible, Lil Nas X is to be congratulated, but needs to improve a little more in raps

    Um álbum bastante Divertido e muito diverso. Lil nas x sai do estilo OTR em algumas músicas e em outra segue o tradicional rap

    Good solid pop/ rap-tracks. With 3 HIt-Singles: Old Town Road, Pannini, Rodeo.
    I think its underrated. Cheers..

    These are two-minute tracks that largely veer all over the place – cohesion, concept, and artistry go out the window here.

    In terms of catchy beats and somewhat meaningful lyrics, each song has one or the other, and Lil Nas X just needs a little more time to get them to match up.

    There are enough hooks in this bouquet of confusing-if-passable genre-hopping tracks to keep him on the path to future hits, but nothing comes remotely close to the lightning in a bottle of "Old Town Road"'s accidental perfection.
