vince staples dark times album review
Vince Staples – Dark Times
Released: 23 May 2024
Great (and I mean GREAT) production Vince Staples “Dark Times” album. I have some qualms about Vince‘s hypocritical messaging in some of the songs, but I can’t take away from his rapping ability. Watch video below for my full reaction:
★★★1/2: Very good; a few bland songs or minor flaws throughout.

★★★1/2: Very good; a few bland songs or minor flaws throughout.
★★★: Good; fans of the artist will find value here.
★★1/2: Average; does little to establish the artist or maintain quality.
★★: Unexceptional; a few highlights but otherwise bland.
★1/2: Weak; unrecommended for anyone but major fans of the style and/or artist.
★: Seriously flawed; very poor work but relatively listenable.
1/2: Terrible; a true embarrassment and akin to audio masochism.
