criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Summertime '06 with four out of a possible five points. From the editor's point of view, Philipp Kopka, the “ laconic nature ” of Vince Staples' mixtape Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1 on the album “ makes room for larger [sic!] Arrangements, more important statements and more urgency. " Summertime '06 does not degenerate into a classic street rap album ", but loses itself " in the factual description of the scenery ", which shows a " similar mindset " to that of Kendrick Lamar . The " sober realism " of the texts is " underlaid with a brittle, fragile production that comes along as a coherent organism despite the very different influences of its makers ". No ID, DJ Dahi and Clams Casino build a “ seething, dark mixture ” of “ psychedelic samples, groaning, distorted electric guitar basslines and playful percussions. "

Leaderboard

In the list of the best “Hip Hop Albums of the Year” 2015 by Laut.de, Summertime '06 was placed 13th. Vince Staples is boring " like a Tyler, The Creator with his mock grandeur ", which does not change the fact that Summertime '06 is " a great album ". With “ lyrics full of self-reflection, personal stories and political awareness, sampled future hooks and outstanding beat picking ”, the album is a “ real board. "
