    Harverd Dropout is by no means perfect: The album has a lot of throwaways and Pump’s development as a lyricist seems stunted by his youthful success--for all of his bragging and achievements, he really should sound as if he’s having more fun. But then again, maybe he’s concentrating on keeping the melodies simple and catchy and his words in league with his image.

    Other than polished vocals and drastically better mixing, Lil Pump sounds the exact same as he did when he dropped Lil Pump; zooted on Xans, lean, and without a care in the world. The rapping is simple, the concepts are easy to grasp as he pretty much gets straight to the point on all 16 tracks (said point being the drugs and money he bathes in excessively).

    On the basis of Pump’s youth and energy, it’s a mostly enjoyable listen, but those are traits not at all unique to him, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about how much longevity he has. After all, he’s not getting any younger.

    Tongue-in-cheek humour is Pump’s biggest selling point, but many of the album’s 16 songs (most of which have a running time of just over two minutes) feel like little more than regurgitated punchlines or uninspired variations on themes already set up and adequately executed on the rapper’s early tracks.

    Pump’s only motivation is to stunt on his old high school teachers. That theme is heavy-handed on the album, as Pump bashes us with a running joke about how he used to go to Harvard before dropping out.

    I'd suggest downloading the two good songs and forgetting the rest of this album ever happened.

    The Florida rapper’s limited strengths and many weaknesses become highly detectable on Harverd Dropout. Under Pump’s control, the album piles up songs without structure, lines without meaning, and hooks without melody; it’s utterly tasteless.

    Lil Pump at least has some talent in him. He has a rhythmic flow and catchy lyrics. The only problem is how he's inconsistent. Compare some ofLil Pump at least has some talent in him. He has a rhythmic flow and catchy lyrics. The only problem is how he's inconsistent. Compare some of his early songs to the ones now. Lil Pump might not be a favored person in general, but it's gonna be sad if he were to die, possibly as sad as X's death. Expand

I got some of his songs he released back in 2017 when he was just coming on the scene on Soundcloud like Gucci Gang, D Rose, and Molly. His songs are usually kinda repetitive, agressive, with trap beats. This album doesn't really bring anything new to the table that's very impressive. Be Like Me featuring Lil Wayne is kinda catchy and Esskeetit is decent. For the most part, though, this album is forgettable. Expand

    One of the worst rappers of all time. Lil Pump is the type of guy who proves that he doesn't need talent to be famous.
