Dave Blunts – “I’ll Believe It When I See It” review

This is the 4th studio LP from Davenport, Iowa by way of Salt Lake City, Utah rapper, singer/songwriter & internet personality Dave Blunts. Dropping a total of 16 EPs & a few full-length albums since 2018 or so, I’ve even mentioned a couple guest appearances he made for Babytron & D. Savage on Tronicles & We Love D. Savage a couple years earlier respectively. His previous full-length You Can’t Say That last spring got some rightful backlash for the transphobia & dissing artists who have stronger discographies than him, not expecting anything different out of I’ll Believe It When I See It.

“Shuey’s Mirror” interpolates the Justin Timberlake hit “Mirrors” to talk about his friend Ethan Shutak’s bitch performing oral on him whereas “Burning Spoons” tells the story of Jordan’s baby momma being a meth addict. “Vbucks” hits us with a corny KanKan diss although it’s not as disgusting as it was on You Can’t Say That until “1 More Day” finds himself crying about wanting to be with his ex-girlfriend Solar again for 24 hours.

We unfortunately have Dave Blunts getting transphobic again on “Cupcake” dissing KanKan again & throwing at jab at one of my top 10 producers of all-time Ye formerly known as Kanye West prior to the single “World Champ” throwing out a homophobic slur during the hook. “Rollie” talks about people thinking he was gay for writing “Cousins” for Ye when I’ve literally never heard anyone say that while “Scale” expresses his love for codeine & sleeping with a semi-automatic by his side.

“Unnecessary” after a redundant remix of “Back on Oxygen” jabs at KanKan & Dax, with the latter being the only one that’s deserved because his music’s not any better than Dave’s at all. The penultimate track “Ciara Come Home” nears the end of I’ll Believe It When I See It bitching & moaning for a woman he’s known for 6 years to take him back while “Drown” finally sends off the album wasting a plugg beat on some horrifically performed vocals talking about his life being exciting.

Now before anyone asks me why I subjected myself to I’ll Believe It When I See It when Dave Blunts has been throwing shots at Ye or even 50 Cent of all people for the past year? I don’t know. What I can say that he’s retaining his usual gimmick of lyrics using dark humor, introducing characters, dissing more prominent artists even if there’s always 1 who’s justified & his hatred for transgender people when they literally haven’t done anything to him.

Score: 1/5

Dave Blunts – “You Can’t Say That” review

Dave Blunts is a 23 year old rapper, singer/songwriter & internet personality from Davenport, Iowa by way of Salt Lake City, Utah who’s put out a total of 16 EPs & a couple full-lengths since 2018 or so. I’ve even mentioned his guest appearances on the latest Babytron & D. Savage albums Tronicles & We Love D. Savage respectively in the past several months. However with his popularity increasing, Dave’s 3rd studio LP felt like it could be his biggest one of his career.

“Solar’s Departure” starts by referencing the disgraced former IWGPジュニアヘビー級チャンピオン, 2-time WWE world champion, 4-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 5-time WWE United States Champion, 7-time WWE tag team champion & 3-time WCW World Television Champion Chris Benoit over a cheerily drumless instrumental whereas “Air Mattress” goes for a plugg direction talking about his diamonds changing with the climate.

His health concerns get brought up on the trap, lowend & regalia crossover “1st Day Out the Hospital” except the line where he disses KanKan comes off as INCREDIBLY transphobic leading into the colorful trap cut “Game Changer” talks about taking what he wants. “1 Year Max” serves as a response to WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg’s comments regarding Dave’s weight & “Knee Surgery Tomorrow” makes a comparison regarding this bitch’s head game.

“Issabella’s Untimely Deportation” cuts off the titular woman after learning she really be fuckin’ his mans over some synthesizers & 808s just before “Tired of Being a Simp” gets on the regalia tip talking about him getting too attached to women he hardly knows. “Solar’s Unsuccessful Attempt to Return” keeps the regalia vibes telling his ex he really wants her back prior to “White Chicks dissing KanKan again & 9 Vicious, except the 9 Vicious jab is justified.

Meanwhile on “10 Bands on Solar”, we have Dave maintaining a regalia flare talking about everyone being on his dick now that he’s becoming popular while “Diddy Games” likens PlaqueBoyMax to disgraced Bad Boy Entertainment founder Puff Daddy a.k.a. P. Diddy or Diddy. “Sex Crimes” continues to hurl transphobia towards KanKan’s way & includes a line regarding Antonio Brown raping Britney Taylor, but then “Moving Slow” talks about his affinity for lean.

“Industry Planet” reflects on taking shit for granted during the days he was broke over a cloudy trap beat while “Balcony” blends pop rap & regalia talking about being a man & putting his feelings to the side. “Thinking of You” finds him trying to get Solar back swapping out the pop rap elements in favor of rage while “Bummy” talks about the codeine making him feel lovely.

The song “Back in the DMV” produced by thr6x expresses the pain inside of him because of Issabella not fucking with him & the closer “Issabella” ends the LP by talking about giving her a shot since Solar’s not coming back. Lastly even though I’m very well aware of the fact that it was left off the final cut, the jerk instrumental on “Bitches” featuring Ye formerly known as Kanye West was actually refreshing to hear Kanye on even if his verse feels like a ripoff of Lil Yachty catching strays from former WWE Champion, 4-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 3-time WWE United States Champion & 15-time WWE tag team champion Kofi Kingston a few months ago.

Known for his dark humorous lyrics as well as introducing characters in his songs, You Can’t Say That as an album is only a downgrade from the mixed reception of both Well Dude Here’s My Thing & If I Could I Would although it’s very much decent. There’s nothing wrong with the production drawing from regalia, pop rap, trap, rage, lowend, jerk, comedy rap, emo rap & pluggnb since I tend to review countless artists in those styles. My problems more so lie with the context of some of Dave’s lyrics like the transphobic KanKan disses & mentioning Antonio Brown’s rape case.

Score: 1.5/5
