    With an inspired guest list and excellent production, The Beautiful & Damned is a satisfying artistic accomplishment that cautions as much as it seduces.

    Established formulas of pandering singles and assembly line choruses aside, The Beautiful & Damned possesses enough serious assertiveness and classic Bay area slick talk to get burn well into 2018.

    There are no insights to be found here about prestige, depression, or dependency. The whole thing is unbelievably dour and boring.

    His take on rap’s current go-to themes of drug dependency, joyless sex and the double-edged sword of success feels stale and smug.

    There’s no interruption, no welcome silence between discs one and discs two. No, just 20 songs, a brutal slog of stacks and condoms and stacks and condoms and occasionally a disembodied ass without any other parts of a woman sighted.

    I have been so hyped for this album for a long time, and I have to say I have been very satisfied. If you like deep rap, then this one's for you.

    G Eazy is one of the worst rappers of all time. Period. If he didn't have decent production backing him up, he would have no career
