QuESt – “How Thoughtful” (Mixtape Review)
How thoughtful of him to take a picture of himself looking thoughtful for his mixtape...
More importantly than ANYTHING, I finally got the spelling right (Q-u-E-S-t). That’s an accomplishment for me… Ok, let me stop joking. On to the review.
The last time I covered QuESt, I said something to the effect of “I would pay for music like this…” I think It always surprises me to see an artist develop and grow like he has from his last project to this one. “Broken Headphones” was a great project, but “How Thoughtful” is by far my favorite project I’ve heard from homie.
The Good:
“I like the fact that QuESt has punchlines, but CHOSE to stay on topic and go all in on whatever he was talking about at the time. You can tell he has lines on the outro song (“See What I See”) when he goes into something like a mini-rant during the second verse…” (K1ng Eljay, via “Broken Headphones” review).
That’s what I said last time. This time, it’s a different story. This whole mixtape is basically QuESt flexing his lyrical muscle and showing how easy it is for him switch and flip flows. The punchlines, metaphors, similies, and just CLEVER lines are all throughout this project, and you might not even get all of them at first. I was still catching some of the slickness on my fifth and sixth play-through.
“#HowThoughtfulFacts The mixtape is nothing more than a showcase of my skills.” (QuESt, via Twitter)
