I've researched the book and the author and material are degenerate trash.
It's for whites because they believe in embracing their uncivilized side after being brought to light by christ.
Ok there's that but absouls main theme regarding thelema is free will that's it really.

At this point I feel pretty confident saying this will be in my top 5 rap list for 2016. It's not perfect, in large part because Soul is not a perfect MC. There are some lol worthy bars here or there. But my general view about "#bars" is that the only rappers who didn't waste bars post 80s were Nas 94-96, Prodigy 95-96, Liquid Swords GZA and that's about it. So my metric is what % of your bars are wack. Wayne for instance always had a high percentage to me. Cole has a large percent. On this album I'm not gonna say Soul has a large amount because TBH I can think of way more bars and verses that are good, insightful, sad, evocative, etc on this album.
Production wise the album is virtually flawless. Might be the best produced album of the year. The mixing is crazy good. It just sounds amazing. This is the album you play for a non-believer. This feels like a 2011/2012 TDE album in terms of making the perfect shyt to blow up off and tour off. Think about how many bangers HnC and Sec80/GKMC had, and how both Q and Kdot went off the races after that. Soul had CC which was popular and he toured well off it, but it was prob too heady to really blow up off. THIS is the album that Soul can take off with. I don't mean selling a ton of records or radio hits, I'm talking about an album that helps drives your tour success.

Whenever someone is talking about free will they're typically talking about some form of degeneracy

This is my largest issue with Ab.
He got so many lame punch lines and similes. It takes me out of the song. Punch lines and similes should be used rarely in my opinion, and when you do it has to be perfect.
To many rapers think they need to use them cus its a "rappers thing". But it just comes of lame when they all use the same kind of punches.
What the fukk does a line like:
"I'm low-key like a locksmith, working on both knees"
Bring to a song? Im supposed to be impressed?
There need to be some kind of intervention for some of these rappers.

the interviews he has done so far for dwtw aren't that good. maybe he's just out of it. but the end of "lonely soul" he's having a conversation about what "do what thou wilt" means. he doesn't think it means "do whatever you want to do"

I disagree. He explained it well in the Breakfast Club interview and also on Sway. Likewise he's been very clear about the intention of the album's femininity focus. He keeps pointing to Mac Miller's The Divine Feminine as an influence. He's been too transparent IMO, I think fans should be left to find out what shyt means.

the album is perfect from track 4 onwards. The second track is the only one I didn't like along with wifey or wifi. Track 2 could have been a bonus track
