.....I was a fan until this album. Nigga doesn't do what made him popular in the first place....milk his talent. Beats are OK. They're just not showing his progression as an artist. He made a huge mistake by not singing at all. He went from being a moderate singer to a subpar rapper. He basically takes Kanye and Drake's punchline formula and makes romance rap songs. He also talks like he hold the world record in haters acquired. Nigga slow down, the only person holding you back, is you. Listen to this joint for cultural reference but its not gonna win any awards, unless they cant find anybody else to nominate.

I was scared as hell when he said he wasn't singing. I understand why but man that's where your strength is. At least we have the first two. I'm gonna give this a listen though, just to see where he is on the production side.

Production is definitely right on here. Sure he raps like Kanye's little brother but it doesn't exactly ruin the songs. I'm only up to Swizz Francs but it's not terrible. I wouldn't cop but I wouldn't toss it out the window either.
15. "I agree, it ain't bad" In response to Reply # 14
But sorta disappointing because dude is clearly capable of great music, and this ain't it.

25. "RE: what are the 5 best songs?" In response to Reply # 22
to me? 6 track EP. in this order:
best 2 joints: -ups & downs -5 minute freshen up
then ,these 4 in any order: -Lovers & mountains (shit reminds of DiLLa on the mic, just bareLy, but a LittLe. r.i.p.) -dress u to undress you -maybachs and diamonds -ready or not
if this was just a 5 or 6 song EP reLease, we'd probabLy be taLking about the project in a different Light.
he's a fLossy rhymer with some of that brag rap swag... but he's rhyming about fLossy shit that he's reaLLy doing. and it's on some pLayboy shit, so i'm not mad at the songs that i'm feeLing. i think he's a taLented ass dude on the beats, rhymes, and singing and i know this aint the best shit he can come up with. i'LL be checking for him in the future.

In 2012 on album you should stick to you strengths man. He's isn't wack, but he's so much better a singer/songwritwer than an emcee, save the rapping for the mixtapes imo.
