Free Music Notes for Don't Quit Your Day Job
Free Music Review: He finally got a deal!
Hit: 4 Stars
Like most people, the first place I ever heard of Consequence was when he had a few guest spots on a Tribe Called Quest's (overrated) 1996 album Beats, Rhymes and Life. He spit some very good bars there, and over the years he made plenty of appearances on mostly mixtapes and underground rap albums, but he had yet to get signed to a label. Thankfully, Kanye West picked him up and issued his official debut album.
Now, Don't Quit Your Day Job seems like a more suitable title for MIMS or Rich Boy's respective albums, but whatever the case, if you already like Conse, then this album won't change your mind. The science he drops proves for really innovative subject matter, especially the John Legend-assisted "Feel This Way", a unique story about a bad relationship. Family-oriented tracks also impress, like "Don't Forget Em", "Who Knew My Luck Would Change" and "Uncle Rahiem".
Also stellar are posse cuts, like "Grammy Family" (with Kanye and DJ Khaled) and "Disperse" (featuring some underground rappers). In fact, the only song that I can do without COMPLETELY is "Night Night", because being extremely violent toward a foe just ain't Consequence -- but actually, "Pretty Little Sexy Mama" is pretty okay. There are also a couple of otherwise great songs that contain extremely out-of-date adlibs, like "Ayyyyy-yo, aight!" ("Uptown") and "B better have my money" ("Callin' Me" -- although Conse doesn't use those exact words).
But the rest of the album is excellent enough for you to not even care. If Consequence's day job is rapping, then not only shouldn't he quit, he should also moonlight under the same profession because this album is as G.O.O.D. as the label he's on.
