Album Review: Scaring the Hoes by JPEGMAFIA
Excellent, Based on 4 Critics
Based on rating 4.5/5
Middle-aged men yell at Cloud JPEGMAFIA doesn't want to pay $8 a month for Twitter. If you have never tweeted -- twoot? twat? -- this won't be life-altering news for you. If you are a verified Twatter, you still might wonder why Peggy chooses to instigate his dream collaboration with Danny Brown by hurling a big ol' Fuck You at such a Top-10-Most-Hated-Plutocrats-of-the-Decade candidate as Elon Musk.
Based on rating 3.8/5
On the album's title track, JPEGMAFIA spends his opening verse summing up the ethos of Scaring the Hoes. Incredibly aggressive in both production and content, his debut collaboration with fellow Hip Hop eccentric Danny Brown is a tribute to creative synergy and going against the mainstream. The result is a boisterous mashup of ideas and subgenres that is satisfying when it lands and unintelligible when it doesn't.
Opinion: Absolutly essential

Opinion: Fantastic
Let's get this out the way first: 'Scaring The Hoes' is sensationally good. It's a record that defies convention, while grabbing you from first note to last. Truly lawless, it's the sound of two top tier MCs going toe-to-toe over breakneck beats, skewing rap conventions to breaking point in the process. It's ruthlessly entertaining, frequently funny, and more than matches the substantial hype.
