On TIME, Your Old Droog shows he can paint lyrical pictures very well. However, the picture paints here is sometimes kind of dull in my humble opinion.
What Droog is talking about on TIME is a far cry from the much deeper exploration that occurred related to his relationship with his Jewish and Ukrainian identity on Jewelry and Dump YOD.
On those albums we saw YOD get personal... something he does do here as well, but in a way more captivating way that struck me on an emotional level.
But I'd also say that the bars on this album are not on the same level of Tha YOD Fahim, Jewelry, and especially Dump YOD, which was one of the best albums of 2020, with one of the craziest rapping performances I've heard in a long time.
All of these gripes are not even addressing the elephant in the room with this album... at least in the room where I personally am listening to this album.
This elephant for me is the production.
Rarely do these beats leave an impression on me, which is a shame because Droog usually selects great beats to rap over.
The listless nature of many of these beats, compounded with the less than always interesting lyrical content from Droog... makes TIME an album that sees Droog come back to Earth, after an impressive hot streak spanning all the way back to 2019.
