STACKO: RANKED

MoStack released his debut studio album "Stacko" on June 7th 2019. The album made it to the top three in the UK Album Charts. We've taken a look at the legendary album to put them in order of our least favourite to our top five favourites from this incredible album. Let us know in the comments below which you would put first.

13. Shine Girl ft. Stormzy

This song is heavily disliked by SCOOP and it's all because we don't rate Stormzy when he comes in on a singing vibe, we understand he can do both very well but this isn't the song for it. Although he does his rap thing on the track too, we cannot rate it anywhere else in the track list and think the song would have been better for us if it had a singer that only did singing on it. However, we love the message the track is putting across as we cannot dislike a bit of female loving.

12. Yes Yes

Yes Yes is an underrated track from Stacko but we don't think it belongs in this body of work and should have been a single between albums rather than the first track on the album. We really like the verses Mo lays down in between the hook but when it comes to the hook we can't say that we like it, for that reason it remains twelfth place for us.

11. Girl Diary

We don't hate this track, it's in eleventh place because all of the other tracks in the album deserve to be above 'Girl Diary'. The track itself is interesting as you hear Stacko talk through all of his past flames. As the album was released, all of the girls he had mentioned in the track had revealed that they were worried that they would be getting exposed as he had revealed names with the bars he laid in the track. We love the beat selection for this track as it's higher than a lot of the other tracks. We strongly believe that Stacko is very versatile when making music.

10. Shannon

His track dedicating his love for someone that he didn't get the chance to be with, stated in the intro of the track. Stating that he always had his eye on her even when he's interacting with someone he doesn't like. We love the vibe and Stackos flow on this track, there's a very easy and relaxed feel to his voice as he does it so effortlessly across the whole track. We love that he also reflects on his career slightly in the track as he talks about coming a long way from a "likkle Samsung", talking about all of his money and girls he's had, while his mind is continuing to go back to 'Shannon'

9. What I Wanna

This track has been out since the beginning of 2018 so to see it on the track list for this album was quite strange in our opinion. We hoped for tracks we hadn't heard before but we aren't mad with this track and is better than a handful of the tracks. We love the energy this track gives off and the nostalgia it brings to us and for that reason, we have to make it our ninth place on the list.

8. Take Em Down

When Mo was writing this track, he knew it was going to go off in the clubs, and we just have to respect him because this man did not lie while making that statement. If anyone else had made the track it wouldn't be the same and just fits Mo perfectly. We love the repetitive use of the word 'boom' and is a perfect summer track to drive around to with the windows down. We love the line "We don't like anybody that lies, but we do lie to the feds all the time" as he's saying that he can lie but if anyone does lie to him, he instantly dislikes them. We love and respect what Mo is saying here.

7. Respect & Love

We believe this track is quite repetitive with three chorus' and an outro with the same "oo-oo-oo-oo" sound. We're not haters on it but we cannot see it being above a seven in our rankings. The first verse of the track is all about not wanting to mess with his gang in lines "They don't ever want it with the crew when we roll ganged out" followed by "Tooled up, pulled up, and all they heard was bang-bang, pow-pow". We think this track is saying that his enemies just want respect and love but Mo isn't willing to give that to them, telling us he's going to ride out on everyone with his gang.

6. Rock With You

Rock With You shows that Mo is still on smoke but doesn't particularly something he wants to do as in the pre-chorus he raps "If I pops the boot, I'ma pop a yute, now keep it movin' like I lots to do". While talking about potentially riding out he's once again showing his commitment to a woman, giving her everything he possibly can. Also states that he does't think of himself very highly as he refers himself to a beast with his lady being the beauty. Again, this is another perfect summer track to listen to in any situation, being placed sixth, before we get in to our top five.

5. Stinking Rich ft. Dave & J Hus

An incredible link up of rappers executed perfectly. The first track that features the three together and they understood the assignment perfectly. Dave comes in for one verse and Hus says around for two, with Mo on the first verse and chorus. Arguably Hus had the best verse but Mo shut it down as always. This collaboration cannot be missed when talking about best rap trios, making this track our number five on our rankings.

4. I Want You

This track is a different style to what we usually hear from Stacko and we are obsessed with it. The club classic type beat in the background isn't something you would normally hear in the UK rap scene but it works. Again showing his love towards a special someone, this time with no names attached. Rapping about never hurting this girl and his only intentions are to take care of her and make her comfortable, something we can only salute the rapper for.

3. I'm The One ft. Fredo

Another elite feature on the album. A Stacko and Fredo collab was something that we didn't know we needed it until it blessed our ears. The whole track is a huge ego boost for both rappers as they rap in the introduction "I'm the one they hate, I'm the one that wanna beef", "I'm the one they pay, I'm the one they wanna see". Later on in the track they also say "Yo, I talk with the money, you talk with your mouth, you talk with your jewelry, I talk with my house". This song is a perfect boost if you need a pick me up.

2. Wild

We love this track as a display of grinding for money, when we listen to this track it makes us want to work harder. Lines like "Came for the P's, then I'm gone, I'm leavin' (Bye)", and "Expensive steaks, I'ma need a toothpick" show that he's hungry for the money and is all that he can think about. We also love the switch up between verses as in the first it's about money and in the second it's about his gang and friends, talking about how wild they are, showing that they're people that shouldn't be messed with.

1. Make Me Fall In Love & You Can Keep Me Forever

This track is easily MoStack's best track to date, it's so perfectly different from anything else he's released inside and outside of this album. The beat in the background is top tier and the track is such an easy listen in any situation with a little bit of a nod of your head as you listen. We can confidently say that this track puts Stacko in the conversation for most versatile rapper in the UK.
