Veteran Hip Hop scholar and iconic member of the group The Roots has high praises for Action Bronson’s new album.
On Friday (April 29), rap luminary Questlove hopped on Twitter to reveal that the Queens lyricist and Fuck That’s Delicious creator caught him off guard with his new 10-track release, while also explaining his belief that the project is a standout out within Bronson’s discography.
“Wow. Was NOT expecting to be THIS mind blown over this new Bronson jawn. This [Crocodile emoji] jawn might be his most solid offering as an LP,” Questlove wrote.
It appears Questlove isn’t the only rap music head to approve of Action Bronson’s lyrical effort on the nautical follow-up to his 2020 Only For Dolphins album. Andre Barber, the founder of Hip Hop media platform Fake Shore Drive, also tweeted his excitement in regards to Cocodrillo Turbo, remarking about how cinematic the lyricism is throughout the album.
“New Action Bronson album on repeat, it’s so good. he really made a whole crocodile movie in audio form,” Barber wrote.
Questlove, who recently won an Oscar in the Best Music Film category for his Summer of Soul documentary, has been fairly outspoken, as of late, regarding his criticism of artists, their music, and the way they utilize their influence. Last year, the Grammy award-winning musician didn’t hold back on his thoughts about DaBaby’s infamous homophobic rant during Rolling Loud music festival and went as far as labeling the “Rockstar” rapper’s remarks as “fucked up and wrong.”
Earlier this month, he also refuted the claim GQ made with their May issue, which proclaims Future, who also just released his album I Never Liked You, is currently the best rapper alive.

Fine. If Questlove says it’s dope. I’ll give it a playthrough.
The flyest album it is. Best since Well Done easily. This beast theme Action Bronson spread all over this record – I love it.
You can be annoying af at times ranting, but moments like this I find myself on the same page with you.
Sorry if I am ranting sometimes but it is what it is I will try to stay more positive 🙂
Naw…he missed wit this 1. Will give it a 2nd spend though…
STICK TO YOUR GUNS AS THE ALBUM ISNT THAT DEEP. ITS A FUN LIGHT HEARTED ALBUM WITH DOPE PRODUCTION. FEEL LIKE MOST WILL EITHER HATE OR LOVE IT.
The album is high quality I don’t love every song but there’s at least 3-4 out of the 10 that I like a lot. That’s almost half
On a second listen I’m up to 7-8 I enjoy a lot
Who cares about Action Bronson? Ghostface ended that fool anyway.
Ended him so hard he’s put out a half a dozen more albums people fucked with and got a TV Show while you sit in your boxers hating on comment sections.
You’re saying that like he’s going platinum every release and got millions of viewers for his show. And why’d you visualize me in my boxers? Weirdo.
Posts two versions of the same comment and calls the other dude a weirdo lol.
Touché. But my first comment didn’t show at first so I did it again later only to have the first one posted right after. It happens. *shrug*
You saying that like every release is going platinum and his TV show has hundreds of millions of viewers or some shit. Nobody cares about this discount Ghostface.
@goof yo, let them trolls alone. You and I know Action been putting in work and his delivery is still on point. And I’m a Ghost fan. Thing is, people stuck on that ghost argument forget Ghost switched up his own delivery since More Fish. If fans were really Ghost fans, they wouldn’t be offended at all. Ghost leveled up, and so is Bron Bron…
Bronson delivered one of 2022’s best records
He’s proven himself time and time again
Dude one of the best lyricists out! 9/10 easy!
Would like to see a AB x Cookin Soul album
Hez nice. Albumz trash tho
This album is the hugest letdown of the year for me…this shit is garbage
You must have dildos shoved in your ears then.
