People been critiquing rap albums since the 80s. They were creating entire charts based on lyrics/metaphors/delivery/etc and rating shyt 1-10 lol. Let's be real. And even if we skip to the 90s or 00s the same arguments were going on, just in different ways. We get into beat selection or "all he raps about is bragging about stuff" or whatever else.
My issue with Ransom is that he sounds like an English major reading lyrics moreso than rapping. He has zero swag, his delivery is way too formal, and can't write a hook to save his life. And if I'm gonna listen to pure lyrical miracle shyt I want some curveballs thrown in there. Including beats that aren't just loops.
