- Jan 16, 2026What we get is a 2026 version of Rocky who raps as sharply as ever while flaunting the curatorial abilities that helped make him a star in the first place.
- Jan 28, 2026Ultimately, this is a more mature Rocky: suited, settled and self-assured. The bachelor’s grown up – and somehow, that hasn’t dulled his shine at all.
- Feb 3, 2026The weird detours and stylistic wanderlust result in an album that somehow makes a lot of sense as a larger statement, with all the dissimilar sounds contributing to a listening experience that demands attention and doesn’t let go once it takes hold.
- Jan 20, 2026It’s slick and overstuffed. .... Still, it sounds like he’s having fun, and he eventually persuades the listener to join in as well.
- Jan 20, 2026Don’t Be Dumb is not a blockbuster, and it’s all the better for it.
- Jan 16, 2026Don’t Be Dumb isn’t quite the cultural leap Rocky was hoping to make, but it is a step in the right direction.
- Jan 26, 2026“Don’t Be Dumb” certainly doesn’t feel like something that has been multi-drafted, painstakingly thought out or perfected with time. Instead, it plays like a subpar effort from an artist we have all seen deliver notably stronger work in the past.
