    The beats are great but 6six9nine's flow gets old really quick, and it doesn't help when he sings drenched in autotune in Spanish on some the tracks. Some tracks can be considered bangers. Stoopid is a great opener. Fefe is so bad so it's almost good. Kanga with Kanye is enjoyable. But that's mostly about it. It's not complete trash but it's not a good album either.

    Possibly the most overhated album I've seen. Reviews like Pitchfork's clown the artist and not the art, and while this album is still quite mediocre, it's got some great highlights, such as 'STOOPID' 'MAMA' and 'KANGA', as well as the Tory Lanez featuring 'TATI'. The low points are incredibly low, but the high points are some of the funniest and most outrageous of his career so far.

    This album is carried by the guest appearances and beats. The contributions from A Boogie, Kanye West, and Nicki Minaj overshadow 6ix9ine completely, and the production make the songs into the hits they turn out to be.

    Favourite tracks: TIC TOC, KIKA, MAMA, WAKA, FEEFA
    Worst tracks: BEBE, MALA, TATI, WONDO, DUMMY

    Dummy Boy has a handful of highlights, but 6ix9ine barely shows up for many of the tracks, leaving them to be made or broken by the features.

    LEAST FAV TRACK: BEBE

    A lot of bangers on this album. One of my favorite guilty pleasure listens and 6ix9ine enlists the perfect features on this one, especially Gunna on "FEEFA" and Kanye and Nicki Minaj on "MAMA."

    Dummy Boy would be better if it was worse. 6ix9ine doesn’t show any sign of knowing how to write a complete song, let alone curate a whole album. But he’s also too unimaginative to write anything so jaw-droppingly awful that it needs to be heard to be believed.

    Dummy Boy is unlikely to disappoint 6ix9ine fans, but for everyone else, there's little to back up the hype and controversy associated with the self-professed "King of New York."

    DUMMY BOY is an insufferable 13-track farrago of anything from rock riffs to calypso drums, all pinned by 6ix9ine’s obsessive use of the “n” word, along with every other negative trope found in the gangsta rap of the early Noughties. ... Avoid.
