I highly recommend Mick Jenkins - The Waters and Pieces of a Man

To me I strongly feel like wats wrong, park, and Bday are all one stream of consciousness that Isaiah has while getting drunk. In wats wrong he’s sober and feeling manic and anxious and is describing what’s wrong with him. Then in his second verse, he starts mumbling to signify he’s started drinking. Park then comes on and he’s super energetic and very confident which exemplifies that liquid confidence a lot of people get when drinking and on drugs. Lastly Bday comes on and he’s totally wasted. Can barely pronounce words, saying the liquor is talking to him, and briefly reminiscing about a girl who had left him. Bar none one of, if not, my favorite album

Silkk Da Shocka one of my favorite songs of all time. Great review again.

TLDR: THIS IS AN ALBUM THAT WILL MAKE SENSE IN A CRISIS AND WILL BE YOUR CRUTCH TO REJUVENATION The first time I listened to this album I hated half of it. A lot of it felt disjointed and scattered. I felt like Isaiah was just releasing an album of songs he had for a deadline from his label. A couple weeks later, I had an accident, lost two people who were really close to me and started dealing with substance abuse. Sitting in my car with an eviction notice on my lap and a couple empty beer cans under my drivers seat, I got to the meaning of this album. Its a journal from a man who was battling with substance abuse, along with a numerous amounts of problems and responsibilities. From hearing the record at a down point in my life, I heard a man who is being cooked alive by the pressure and complexity of modern life and being driven by his yearning to want to transport back to simpler times (Hence the title being "The Sun's Tirade" and the cover art being his childhood dream car) Isaiah is an honest man when it comes to his life and prepares his lyrics as a stream of thought; his songs will evolve to mean many different things to you throughout this album. Unlike Cilvia demo, where he attempts to position himself not as the next up and coming rapper with more talent to offer, he comes off as a friend or cousin of your childhood, who only wants to offer purity and honesty to his listeners. While Cilvia was meant to be a hook that attracted fans, the Sun's Tirade is a project that was meant for you to live with, "songs to get you home, my nigga" As a black man born and raised in Canada, I can't necessarily say I've gone through the same issues as Isaiah, but I can say that this album helped me get through my own and I'm thankful for that. As well, I am thankful for you reading this comment, through the countless others that bid for your attention ❤️.

YGTUT - Preacher’s Son is a must listen, very Isaiah Rashad-ish.

your honesty makes you the best music reviewer on youtube

Brenda was a song that changed my life. One of those songs i'd give anything to hear for the first time again. Loved the reaction and the honesty. I actually preferred the suns tirade over cilvia demo. The hardest thing for an artist to do is subconsciously make people think. I listened to this album for a long time as a vibe album but there is so much to dig into and extract throughout the whole body of work and it feels like you're rewarded for listening harder each time. Whether intentional or not the fact that there are so many points where it is very ambiguous gives me this feeling of numbness which is what i always come back to with this album, it's just so much easier to numb the pain because then i don't have to face those internal and external barriers. But the times where he dips in out of consciousness writing wise is beautiful. An incredible contrast between wanting to change and be better and just fucking giving up and completely succumb to an environment of drug and alcohol abuse. Though I cannot relate directly to that, it made me feel so close to that and on a second level i think everyone at some point in there life deals with wanting to go one way but being pulled into another. Love this album, love this reaction, love Isaiah. This album gets better with time.

This album is perfect for a dusk/evening drive. It's like recharging your spirit after a long week.

This album is such a grower after a few listens it’s incredible

Dope. Jon we need a reaction to Swimming by Mac Miller, I know you’d like it

i am SO glad you reacted to this!!! the first time i heard this album myself i was sold immediately, such a masterpiece

Told you I'd be here as soon as the notification pops you are my favorite reaction channel

am I the only person who watches reaction videos of albums to listen to the album again and watch someone feel the way I felt the first hearing it

Among other things, I always loved the Find a Topic tie in with the Dave Free outro. Jon this is my favourite album of all time. I wasn't even sure what I thought about it during my first entire listen, but took a year for me to fully understand, and cherish it as much as I do. I would love to see what you think of this album in a couple of months after giving it some time while reading, creating, resting, etc.. A fantastic album to really get lost into, I find it's emotional impact comes from its imagery and instrumentation rather than Cilvia's more direct telling of events. Thank you for this video!!

Been waiting on this one for so long, excited to see your reaction to this!

Thank you for this, been waiting forever for you to hear this album.

great review jon. this project is for sure more abstract and subdued than cilvia, and in some ways more mature imo. definitely a grower. looking forward to earl season whenever it happens!

NxWorries- Yes Lawd! Pleaseeeeeee!! This album is stupidly slept on and it’s amazing!!

this album is a grower for sure, I remember the first time I listened to it I legit thought it was trash until a couple months later when I decided to give it another try, now its easily one of my most played projects ever

Brenda is literally my favorite song everrr

Props to you for being so real. Such a dope channel

Thank you so much for doing this !!! been waiting on it lol this album means a lot to a lot of us I’m sure

Jon : Isaiah is meant to be dropping in the next few days or weeks 11 months later : 😐

Check out his song "Smile", it's amazing

Care for me -Saba or clipping - there existed an addiction to blood

MICK JENKINS - THE WATERS

You Really need to react to 90059 and Redemption From Jay Rock we know you will love them!!

love your channel man, much love from Portugal!! 🍷

you gotta hear the old "find a topic (homies begged)", the original sample didn't get cleared.

Black Thought - Stream of Thoughts Vol.1 and Vol.2 please. They are both short albums. 🔥

I think this album hits way harder for the people who have heard his whole discography including his scrapped project turned fan-made "pieces of a kid." In pieces of a kid you hear from him how he copes unhealthily through his alcohol and drug addiction. Cilvia you hear more of his background and what lead to him feeling like dipping into his addictions and questioning everything around him. And in this you hear a near broken man contemplating whats even keeping him going, and figuring that out while healing himself. His addictions almost had him dropped from TDE which is what those cuts are layered throughout the album. As a stand-alone project it doesn't hit as hard as if you use context clues from hearing his earlier music. His music is just a whole road of him figuring himself out and learning to deal with his issues in a much more healthy manner than getting fucked up to forget it.

The album is an “apply to yourself, where you’re at,” album. I don’t feel it’s placing you in his world but relating to relatable melancholy.

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS JON

Dude, I'm sorry I'm late! Holiday weekend here in the US has been hectic. Also, I'm so glad you reacted to *Heavenly Father,* I KNEW you were going to understand it and appreciate it!

im so happy rn that you reacted to this!

Thank you for reacting Isaiah man! Great work

Actual intellectual conversations about music is why this channel is so good , hate all these listen to the song and shout twice in a 3 minute video reaction channels

We really need a Mick Jenkins season starting with Trees and Truth.

BRUUUUHH. !! Been waiting for this !! Lol I’m about to clock in for work bro and I’m mad af lol

There always something to unpack everytime I listen to this LP. One of my favorite albums of ‘today’🤙🏾💯

Albums you should react to : Earl Sweatshirt - Doris Earl Sweatshirt - I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth 6LACK - Free 6LACK Bryson Tiller - Trapsoul thanks.

Yoooo So hyped for you to react to the house is burning!!

Where’s the dude with the time stamps 😭

The waters by mick Jenkins is a must

Wats Wrong is definitely my favourite just because Kendrick verse is absolute flames, keep it up JD!

Thank you for being honest Jon. Appreciate you being real and not tryna play it off as if it’s not a new day

mavi let the sun talk ☀️ you’ll need genius pulled up for sure lol

He's featured on a song with childish major called "happy birthday" that ones sick too

Unfortunate that you didn’t have quite the connection with TSTas you did with Cilvia Demo. I think CD is the better album but not by much, but I will say I think TST grows on you a bit more. As you said, it’s a lot more all over the place but I think there’s a lot of beauty in that when you dig a bit deeper into the lyrics and meaning. And he’s also very aware of his lack of singular focus here, thus naming the final song “Find a Topic”. I think that’s a way of showing he knows he’s better when he’s clean/not dealing with substance abuse, but this album depicts the hard road to getting there. Regardless, I’d love to hear your thoughts on: Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs (1yr anniversary of it was yesterday!) Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Piñata Noname - Telefone

Love how it rained on your last reaction to the Cilvia's Demo too

You love Jay Rock so much you should react to 90059! It’s time! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Great video John! If you still want to hear more Rashad, you can always listen to Pieces of a kid on KZfaq. It's pre Cilvia Demo

5 years after this album dropped, still gets better with every listen, we miss you Isaiah ps: YGTUT - Preacher’s Son really is a must listen

You should react to Jay Rock's 90059 album. Also cant wait till you go through The Game's discography

Wat's Wrong is one of my favorite songs of all time, no cap.

Great reaction!! Not every album needs to be compared with its past work though, just my thoughts haha. You should react to Mick Jenkins The Water[s].

Listen to welcome to the game and this album is more of a sound I found each and every song being my favorite at some point

6 minutes into the video and yet again your thoughts coincide with mine. This album definitely grew on me A LOT. Unlike Cilvia Demo which just hit me immediately. I think I’ve listened to the suns tirade more times than Cilvia demo though.

bro im legit seeing so many mick jenkins the waters recommendations you gottttta react LMAO

One of my favorite albums of this decade, along with Cilvia Demo

My favorite album of all time as of the passed few years

Hey John if you’re going back and listening to the Suns Tirade I suggest that if you want a little more context about the subject matter, to listen to the interview Isaiah did with Juan Epstein and Peter Rosenberg which kinda gives a timeline of where he was writing the album and how things came full circle. Keep up the awesome work/hustle. Much love.

You should react to: Summertime 06- Vince Staples Care For Me- Saba Good A.M- Mac Miller You're Dead- Flying Lotus 22 a Million- Bon Iver

The Sun's Tirade is a very raw, very rare Hip Hop album of the 10s Era, it's a Timeless record for me. Fucking love every second & every minute of it. Definitely a classic, 💯!!! The Sun's Tirade, Piñata, Blank Face LP, Good Kid M.A.A.D City, 2014 FHD, IDLSIDGO, & NWTS are the classics for this Era for me.

I for sure like Cilvia Demo more than suns tirade, but I take suns tirade for what it is. It’s grown on me a lot more as time has gone on, and I really enjoy it, but cilvia for sure just hits so hard You for sure gotta give YG TUT’s Preacher’s Son. It’s really damn good One of the most underrated projects of this decade

Such an amazing album. Favorite album of all time tbh. Listen to Sza - CTRL next. Album is amazing front to back

I had the same reaction to this album after being a die hard Isaiah fan. This album will grow on you a lot. Brenda, find a topic, rose gold, 4 da squad, silk da shocks, what’s wrong. I’m missing a few but great album.

I’m a recent Zan Fan and I seriously can’t wait for The House is Burning. Cilvia Demo is one of if not the most underrated rap albums of the 2010’s.

Jon Denton, I officially love you forever.

I haven't heard this yet, but from what I've seen of Isaiah so far this should be fire❗

Isaiah is creating a environment in his music and lyrics and not telling you what he thinks for the most part but makes you decide how you feel about the environment he creates some people would listen to this and be happy and at peace but some people would listen to this and be very sad because they relate to the environment he creates. It’s similar to how frank ocean writes in blond

Care for me- Saba

liked for "mad rain" lol but on the real though i really like your videos its just like sitting down to listen to music and talk with a friend.

React to Saba - Bucket List Project

Glad you liked it. React to Mick Jenkins Water[s] and Pieces of a man

Jon please react to The Waters by Mick Jenkins

The Water[s] next!

"Find A Topic (homies begged)" sounds so much better on the physical CD... cannot stand the version on the other platforms

Ina few listens this albums gonna smack you w how good it is

Capital STEEZ- Amerikkkan Korruption, if you can't do the whole project please listen to Evol Love, Chicago, or free the robots

react to mick jenkins the waters mixtape! incredible the way he keeps the ocean water theme throughout with deep murky bass line that sound like they came from the bottom of the seas to the literal ocean samples.

You should review the new Mavi record, Let The Sun Talk. I've been listening to it a lot recently and I think you'd like it!

Mick Jenkins - The Waters and Saba - Care For Me are MUST REACTS! You'll love them both!

Try Saba Care for me. You’ve heard a track on rock reacts but the entire album is amazing

Also agree with your thoughts on Jay Rock, you should listen to 90059. Gumbo is sooooo good

4r the Squaw is one of my all time favorite songs.

One of my absolute favorite albums, Rashad is too underrrated

You should make a list video abt albums you liked more after listening again

Check out Mick Jenkins when you get a chance

Isaiah did a interview when this came out and he explained and talked about where he was and what happened while making it

Ka is the most underrated rapper period, check out Honor Killed The Samurai

TRAP SOUL by Bryson Tiller please!!!!

Welcome Home ft. Nipsey Hussle - The Game pls!!!

SZA- Ctrl. Think you would really love that tape. Also would love a run thru of all the A$AP Rocky albums, fucking FIRE

This album was my introduction to Isaiah 🔥

You gotta react to Pieces of a Kid next

Absolutely love this album

Nice reaction!! You should do Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown

I hate using this phrase but you have to let this album grow on you. I wasn't able to fully appreciate this album until maybe a year later. I wouldn't say it is outright better than Cilvia Demo but I am able to appreciate it on a different level (the adventurous production and singing namely). I now absolutely love the album and have it in my top 10 Albums ever. Favourite tracks are For Da Squad, Wats Wrong, Park, AA (favourite song), by George outro and Find A Topic.
