I've been pulling for the kid from the beginning, but I think he finally made an album
FULL of heat. As much as like him, I felt his first two major label releases had their
share of filler... mainly due to the fact that both his production and melodic abilities
were still developing to a point where they could carry an entire album: He's definitely
there now. The beats are STRAIGHT FIRE, and his melodies are catching without the
"corniness" they used to have. He never really had any lyrical issues, imo.
This is a really nice album. I see why he'd release it in such a way that you have to
hear the whole thing. He has a complete album on his hands here.
12669378, I share the same exact sentiments ...

Other than that it's good
12669650, I said the same thing in that other post...
Posted by Fishgrease, Mon Dec-08-14 03:43 PM
his mixtapes would be fire to me as well--if he didn't do the hooks himself.
12669394, Late pass. Him & Kendrick are 1 & 1a IMO nm

Dallas Cavericks LETS GO!!
12669962, Why do you think that though?
Posted by lightworks, Tue Dec-09-14 12:36 AM
Because I didn't elaborate on my feelings?

Because I don't have a bunch of cosigns regarding my previous points on rap?

Sure all those things builds toward sounding "credible" but fuck all that, my opinion is my opinion and I don't need a internet resume to make or valid.

You either agree with my points or not. That's all there is to it.
12669964, Maybe cause u ain't listen to rap till ur college years

Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Dec-08-14 04:28 PM
12669758, True I'd give him 5 tough songs
Posted by Musa, Mon Dec-08-14 05:14 PM
not bad at all.
12669784, The first half of the album is pretty solid
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Mon Dec-08-14 06:01 PM
Then the second half happens. He won't get my money.
12669866, yeah there aint a lot of good songs but they're all listenable
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Mon Dec-08-14 08:39 PM
which for him is an improvement.
12669770, yeah it's a good album
Posted by atruhead, Mon Dec-08-14 05:37 PM
it was rushed out without promotion because it's almost someone else's season (you know who Im talking about, me saying his name on here makes lames uneasy)

but yeah, it's a grown up album full of emotion and he can rap despite repeating the same ideas over and over. people play his music ready to hate it though
12669785, he make music for niggas on cricket wireless. i cant fuck with it.

12669926, still that in that weird grey area for me
Posted by dafriquan, Mon Dec-08-14 10:24 PM
his albums have decent beats and serviceable rapping and lyrics.
but very little of it sticks. and the self-sung hooks start to get tedious.

and some of his sincere tracks make me feel more awkward than empathy.
like the song were he raps about losing his virginity after watching porn.

ps two or three songs had a clear drake influence. that's a first for him i think.
12669957, Love Yourz is dope
Posted by lightworks, Tue Dec-09-14 12:33 AM
I'll give yall 4.
