Ratings Game Music
Overall, THE GOAT is a fantastic album. I don’t love the cover artwork attached to it, but I do love the passion and rivetting vibes that nearly every song you hear on it has. Polo clearly wants to be great, and I’ve learned to never underestimate people that give off that aurora.

Polo’s The GOAT is one of the strongest entries in a canon that probably shouldn’t exist. Polo is way too adept at communicating what trauma looks like in underserved areas, and The GOAT reflects that bittersweet gift.

With his second album, Polo G reminds us that a light shines brightly within all of us despite the challenges and upbringings as he carries his own for all of those he's lost along his journey: that is why he is the GOAT.

HipHop DX
THE GOAT backs his self-proclamation by leaning into vulnerability and pain, revealing more about his past hardships in the streets and how those demons affect his life now. The songs here demonstrate his versatility by tackling new subject matters (relationships, love), expanding his reach with more big-name producers and features.

this is Polo G, so THE GOAT still has its own kind of uncanny power.

I really enjoyed this album and I am looking forward to this dude’s next project. Is this a classic. I’m gonna have to say yes, but it’s no Illmatic. But as far as that, I really liked this album and looking forward to more.
