Let Me Update My Status/SCARING THE HOES review:

I would like to shoutout my broad music taste palette, because I was never raised with a particular sound in my household, mostly the sounds of traumatic arguments that altered my brain chemistry with the background noise of early 2000’s R&B and Hip-Hop. I wanna assume this combination of sounds extended my musical journey beyond what is considered Pop. I love a good racket which brings me to SCARING THE HOES…

At first listen, this album might seem nonsensical, leaving you wondering, "What's all this noise?" However, after three or four listens, certain iconic samples start to resonate, and you begin to think, "What geniuses!" The track "Where ya get ya coke from?" evokes the feel of a silent movie about flamenco dancers at the eruption of Pompeii, accompanied by a pantomime-type orchestra—at least, that's how it sounds to me. The dissonance in 80% of the tracks on this album perfectly mirrors my playlists and state of mind.

The juxtaposition of the early 2000s hit "Milkshake" by Kelis (likely the only remix she approves of) with the Jersey sound sensation on "Fentanyl Tester" is what I believe will get the girls moving on TikTok. In "Shut Yo Bitch Ass Up / Muddy & Run the Jewels," I hear an early hip-hop style of DJing combined with the hardest bars from both rappers, resulting in an inexplicably masterful track.The album feels so advanced in Afro-futurism yet possibly unintentionally. Lean Beef Patty combines sped up mixing of “I need a girl PT2’ with what sounds like garage drum patterns mashing up the place.

A solid 8 in my book. JPEG continues to evolve sonically, while 42-year-old Danny Brown seems to be living out his badass midlife crisis both purposefully and publicly, which is kind of iconic. Tracks like "HOE (Heaven on Earth)" and "Orange Juice Jones" are tunes I could play at the apartment without my old man even realising it's rap music.

Let me update my status is an album that seems to compile and highlight raps prominent eras of my generations youth. Listening to Tisakorean and hearing Atlantic influences is compelling considering the rapper hails from Houston Texas. However him and I have a thing in common in enjoying music from rappers of different states.

Almost each one of his song titles seem to reference Soulja boy’s entire come up era, specifically Crank It Up” & “Stunna Shades” are songs with clear Soulja Boy influence on his music. The undeniable S.O.D. Money gang type ad-libs, repetitive jingles, dance moves and a XXXL sense of style. It’s only a moment until the greatest rapper of all time tells you he did it first. “uHhH HuH” & “Middle fingers up” appears to draw inspiration from the New Boyz jerking era. The New Boyz short lived era of jerking music was prominent for its infectious dance beats, vibrant and catchy hooks, and the distinctive jerking dance style that accompanied the music. Tisa perfectly captures the lasting impact these playful and youthful energy of their hit singles "You're a Jerk" and "Tie Me Down" had on the dance scene, which resonates strongly with the now older generation .

In "Stop Texting" and "mOtOrCyClE.mP3," Tisakorean channels the repetitive chorus style reminiscent of Playboi Carti, while "OnCe UpOn a SiLlY" incorporates the distinctive grunts associated with Gucci Mane's sound. This clever adaptation of elements from these two influential artists creates a wave of nostalgia that will undoubtedly resonate with the Tumblr generation, evoking memories of a unique musical era.
