criticism

The editors of Backspin Hip Hop Magazine rated Kingvasion with an average of 4.9 out of 10 points. Anna S. praises the “ round sound frame ” which King Eazy gives “ a catchy sound ” with his massive voice . With the help of the “ recurring autotune clips ”, the rapper manages to break up “ the very gloomy atmosphere ”. In contrast, the editor Sara criticizes that Autotune could be implemented " much better ". Lyrically, too, it is “ not a groundbreaking masterpiece. “From the point of view of the editor Teresa, the choice of topics was“ very predictable ”. Both the rap style and the beats remind Yannick H. of the 187 street gang . While the “ trap sound ” is convincing, “ topics like marijuana consumption and sex with women [...] are not particularly new. "The editor David criticizes the lack of variety in view of the" proud running time "of" one and a half hours ". In spite of his ability to flow, according to Yannick W., Eazy “ doesn't necessarily stand out compared to the newcomers that Deutschrap currently has to offer. "
