[WickedGames]

Demonic title. When the Illuminati shyt was poppin Jay got called out for wearing a top with that on because its a quote from some satanic guy right

So this nikka is naming his shyt after pedophile/satanist Aleister Crowley?

idk brehs the TDE boys are dope but for some reason when it comes to retail albums (besides kendrick of course) they can nvr seem to pull me in like with their projects before they got as big as they are now. Rock album was cool but nothing major, Soul disappointed tf outta me with these days especially since control system was on repeat, and Q just makes noise rap imo nothing but adlibs and "hard" beats. Every now and then he'll say something in a track but mostly its just him yapping about whatever. I havent given rashaad a very good listen as of yet but i know ppl like him. SZA i fukk with but i dont even know if she ever got a album put out. Im still gonna give this a shot tho because i always do and always will for TDE. They really need a black hippy project asap tho

I feel like Mac being on this gives this context. I feel like the instrumental has some elements of the vibe he had in Faces and as a result his struggles with drugs. That feeling translates well into this track, and as a result it really shows how Ab-Soul is facing some of the things Mac faced when he was using. It's a shame the most beautiful and haunting songs are a result of drug use and being in a not-so-good place mentally. Also the phone call at the end, while very cute, strikes the point home. I'm finna bump the shyt out of this.

J. Cole announced his release last week. Should everybody just push their shyt back because of that?

Looking forward to it
