A-1 - After School Special

A small review for this. Short and sweet, just like the album.

A-1 is a rapper who made this short album about a concept. It takes place in the '90s, where his mother wakes him up for school, he pretends to be sick, gets to stay home, and watch TV.

Seriously, that's the concept.

A-1, after school special, pokemon, the price is right, golden girls, charizard, power rangers, goosebumpsDuring the course of the album, he raps over theme songs to shows such as The Price is Right, to Pokemon, to even Golden Girls. But when he does, he twists the song's lyrics to have to do with his song, like when he raps over the Family Matters theme song, and he talks about getting arrested for drugs, but his family bails him out, showing him that family does matter.

But his flow is great, and so are his lyrics. He's hilarious and clever, and overall, this album is great for nostalgia. I just wish there more tracks and it was just a little better produced. I'd love to see this guy do an album like this again, or just another album in general. He's great and I'm surprised that he doesn't have many fans.

7/10
