Album Review: P.O.S. - We Don't Even Live Here

Album Rating: B

The most notable difference in 2012’s P.O.S. is he isn’t taking himself as seriously, and this is big news considering 2009’s Never Better. The album existed as a call to arms against pop culture, but in a tightly scripted manner. Each moment was precisely constructed, and every minute detail captured carefully. Never Better is an anthem of its own, but it’s an entirely different beast than the punk-rapper’s latest release, We Don’t Even Live Here. Instead of intricately planned beats, we’ve got more straight-forward punches that are as effective, albeit in a different way than before.

Artist of the Day: P.O.S.

When contemplating where hip-hop's been, where it'll be someday and - most importantly, where it is right now - I can't help but posit that P.O.S. is a driving force for today's innovation. When I think of insightful verses, I think of him - when I think of natural flow, he also comes to mind. There's little that P.O.S. doesn't do right, and this only makes me respect him more.
