Agreed on most of these. - The skits are unnecessary and boring. - Hot Shower should've been a goofy mid-album-campaign b-side with a goofy video. - Get a Bag is just plain boring even though I kind of like the beat itself. - Found a Good One is similar - honestly, take Chance's verses (if we can call them that) and the "I ain't single no more" refrain off, just leave the beat and the sung "found a good one" hook, and I'd be down.
I would also remove: Slide Around Handsome Roo Big Fish - the better of the trappish tracks (imo) but still feels really out of place and overall pretty boring
I'm mixed on these tracks: - Let's go on the run: I hate the chorus but I actually like the track overall, his half sung verses are kind of fun, and the quiet spoken verse over the drums on the outro is cool to me. - The Big Day - This has been in my head since I first listened to the album and I've really come around no it except for the screaming section at the end. - Town on a Hill - I think this is one of the better executed moments of the album - it's got a sense of that fragility that feels authentic. - 5 Year Plan - I really want to like it, I get it, but it feels like a really good example of the rapping rut he's in - it is surprisingly predictable in cadence, in feel, etc.
Honestly, the ideal out of this would look something like (without adjusting for sequencing): All Day Long Do You Remember Eternal We Go High I Got You The Big Day Ballin Flossin (honestly, one of my fav tracks on the record aside from the chorus) 5 Year Plan (maybe - I could take it or leave it) Sun Come Down Town on a Hill Zanies and Fools
