Ab-Soul - These Days (Official Discussion Thread)

[ManBearPig]

Didn't really feel this album. I knew it wasn't gonna reach Control system but this shyt kinda weak brehs.

Sounds like a mixtape, random shyt thrown together and Soulo didn't really standout as a rapper on this.

Some minor intellectual shyt and on the next track a bootleg DJ Mustard beat

Kendrick's next one gonna save TDE (again)

This shyt is half as good as Follow me home lol

I looked at the size of this last track and was like

shyt is an EP b

I feel like Ab-Soul just cheated me out

Like I got to listen to this nikka album AND this nikka EP

XXL review was glowing as they had time to sit with the album, Complex shytted on it but only had a day to listen to it (who the fukk reviews an album after a day?).

I listened to this last night, it didn't hit me immediately like Control System and it definitely sounds like an album I'll have to listen to a few more times to really get the feel for. Seemed to drag a little in the middle but there's a lot of tracks I fukked with. Ordered the signed physical last night.

This tracklist got me all fukked up. Bronson? Lupe? JMSN?A track produced by cole? When is this dropping again?

 

[Ohene]

figures that the one bonafide skippable i found was produced by J Cole. Ill give it another chance though

The last track isn't a 23 min ep. Its a 4 and a half min song and a recording of an 18 min battle between Ab and Daylyt

Ab soul is trash

 

[AlmightySu]

It's obviously a step back from Control system but I didn't dislike it. He was clearly trying to make a more mainstream friendly album. As an album it was great, just feels like a bunch of random Ab-Soul songs thown together. He did say he handed in 2 albums to Top so we'll see. Maybe this is just to get us ready for the next. I hope thats the case anyways

Control System seemed way better might need to give this a second iTunes listen later.
