    French uses his debut to extend his deft command over white-knukled bangers. [24 May 2013, p.83]

    Every word hits hard. The quicker beat turns his lethargy into something of a strategy, and he sounds like no one but himself.

    When these mantras connect, they’re indelible. When they don’t, it’s like being smacked in the face repeatedly with an iced-out chain.

    Excuse My French comes off as extremely formulaic.

    On Excuse My French, he's outshone and undervalued.

    The Moroccan born New Yorker’s long-delayed debut finally arrives, and much of it lands with blunt force without quite demonstrating a fully formed vision.

    Montana's selection of trap beats falls flat. It's the kind of sweatshop beat-making mainstream producers have learned to accept as they cash their cheques.

    I found his debut to be very poor on his part but the features he had on the album and the production is what made it pop in my eyes. HisI found his debut to be very poor on his part but the features he had on the album and the production is what made it pop in my eyes. His lyricism is very weak and repetitive and not entertaining in the slightest. The songs I applaud is Once in a While, What Happens Tonight, Gifted, Ballin Out, and Drink Freely all because of the features and production. The singles Pop That and Freaks are only popular because of the features. He should just stick to mixtapes because obviously he downloads more than this album will ever sell. I gave it a legit shot but didn't work I even listened to it twice. Sorry just not a good album but the features are great. Expand

I expected his album to be very personal. Unfortunately, the first track is the only one that showcases the French Montana I know. Hopefully next time out he'll have the balls to make his own album instead of this feature-fest of a compilation of singles. Expand

    I didn't expect much from Excuse My French but I did get a taste of what French Montana can whip up. Overall it wasn't enough though. ThereI didn't expect much from Excuse My French but I did get a taste of what French Montana can whip up. Overall it wasn't enough though. There were some club beats that will be banging till the next year but the album clearly had one direction and that was to make people bop their heads. Instead, it failed making me shake my head. The production was ordinary lacking creativity. This will be a perfect time for French Montana to redeem himself and show that he's worthy of being one of the best hiphop artists of all time. Expand

    This album is just pure Grade A trash. Only songs worth listening to are my guilty pleasure from this album, "F*** What Happens Tonight" andThis album is just pure Grade A trash. Only songs worth listening to are my guilty pleasure from this album, "F*** What Happens Tonight" and then "Gifted" because of The Weeknd's amazing verse and hook. Other than those two, nothing else is worth your time and you would be better off finding a different way to waste an hour of your life. Expand
