So I also love that album and have always held it in high regard.
But it def could've benefited from a little trimming. "Sweet" was a weak ass attempt at being hard when the dude was damn near 40 - not to mention Comm was never all that hard to begin with. As a longtime stan I wish he'd gone about that whole situation in a very different way lol.
And "Blue Sky" was a meh attempt at imitating Kanye's "stadium" sound at the time which I thought came off as pretty contrived and unnatural for him.
There's another track or two that I think could've been dropped that I can't come up with right now but other than that, I thought it was a really dope record. "Ghetto Dreams" is some tremendous throwback ish, "Gold" is some vintage Comm lyricism, the opener is in line with some of his best, "Cloth" is a great tribute to his daughter, etc. There's a lot of high highs on that joint.
But like 3-4 songs could've been cut to make it near flawless IMO.
