Beginning of Episode (0:49).
After a stellar 2019 and 2020 that saw Your Old Droog drop his magnum opus, Dump YOD: Krutoy Edition, Droog’s music has been on the decline since then.
Thankfully, Space Bar corrects just about every issue I’ve had with Droog’s recent output, through better production, rapping, and guest features.
Space Bar’s beats, although not as captivating as Dump YOD or what was on Jewelry for sure, are much more up my alley.
Droog also tweaked his approach lyrically, showing improvement in this respect as well on Space Bar.
There’s a fun braggadocios looseness that is more present here, that Droog has always thrived in, allowing him to up the bar quality in comparison with his last couple of projects.
He’s less personal on this album, and instead is more aggressive, airing out some grievances that he has with the rap game, and wack collaborators as well. Above all, YOD gives us punchlines on punchlines on punchlines.
Space Bar doesn’t try to do too much, and is better off for it.
