Lil Kim Album 9 Review Full Sad Boy
Picture: Getty Lil Kim’s transformation over the years. “Out on my own, I’m floating in an oceanless sea.”Lil Kim was discovered by Biggie Smalls. “Finally grown, ain’t nothing like I hoped it would be,” he sing-raps dejectedly. The moody “Tales Of Dominica,” which boasts some of Take a Daytrip’s nimblest production, finds the Grammy winner in full Sad Boy mode. Instead of gloating or bragging, common themes in hip-hop, Nas expresses genuine hurt at the people who did him wrong.
“Need a boy who can cuddle with me all night,” he begins, before declaring that he’s ready for love on the chorus. Heartache and hooks rule supreme on “That’s What I Want,” a toe-tapper with massive radio appeal. “I’m spendin’ all them dark months of time trapped in the lonely, loner life.”For an artist that has conquered the rap world, Nas proves to be surprisingly adept at pop. “It’s too many ups and downs on the ride,” Nas laments. “Don’t wanna lie, I don’t want a life.” The hitmaker reveals that money and fame haven’t taken the edge off those dark thoughts on “Void.” Falling somewhere between Coldplay and Frank Ocean, this ranks as one of the record’s most experimental and achingly honest tracks. “These gay thoughts would always haunt me, I prayed God would take it from me,” he declares over deceptively upbeat, pop-leaning beats.
And given that Nas broke big with the “Old Town Road” remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, there’s a pleasing symmetry to him closing “Montero” with Miley Cyrus’ featured appearance on “Am I Dreaming.” Their voices combine admirably on the folk-leaning ditty, but this feels like more of a diary entry than a potential single.With its genre-stretching approach and refreshingly honest exploration of love and loneliness, Nas reminds us that he’s a musical force to be reckoned with. Previewed on his Instagram page way back in 2019, the melodic banger hasn’t lost any of its crossover appeal as it’s picked up its instrumental Elton assist. Significantly tamer is “One Of Me,” which boasts a cameo from Elton John — albeit as a pianist. Co-produced by Kanye West and featuring Jack Harlow, “Industry Baby” holds its own, as does the Doja Cat-assisted “Scoop.” With its immediate chorus and litany of hooks, this is a safe bet for a future single.“Dollar Sign Slime,” a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, isn’t quite as catchy, but the explicit, sex-positive lyrics make it a prime candidate for one of the breakout star’s all-conquering viral videos.
