Ab-Soul - These Days (Official Discussion Thread)

[dubsmith_nz]

It dont matter, this is the product he wants to add to his catalog and it its average and a step back from his last joint. I see he was trying to do something different and thats cool but it overall was just ok. Cilvia Demo>>>>>>>

I wasn't talking about the quality, more so responding to your mention of TDE marketing and why this was rolled out so low key.

I agree that Cilvia Demo is better after a couple spins but I'm gonna reserve final judgement until I've given this a couple of weeks to sink in.

I'm fukking with this joint heavy though

 

[502Nels]

Not what I was expecting but the only songs I don't fukk with are Twact and Sapiosexual

You can tell when an album is trash because the thread numbers are so low.

This album listenable

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

I like Kendrick's interlude. Mainly for Terrace on the beat. I keep thinking to myself... yo, this nikka is just yelling

 

[Ziggiy]

No it isn't. shyt is trash.

I'm mad nikkas is passing it as some really dope shyt. shyt isn't good and you nikkas know it.

That's your opinion nikka and your welcome to it



But this shyt is dopeness.

I'm surprised so many people don't like this honestly...A lot of y'all are saying that he took a step down lyrically, but I don't hear that at all. The subject matter is just less rebellious. Lyrics are still nice. Beats I can see people not rocking with it though.

I really like the album honestly.

Ab himself said he wanted These Days to be less physiological and more "down to earth".

“That’s what I wanted to do. Rolling off of #controlsystem, I didn’t want to seem too philosophical so we don’t want to confuse anybody. [I wanted] to bring it back down-to-Earth.”

I think he is just experimenting with different sounds and content ahead of his "major release" next year.



Either way, this shyt slaps

 

[okocharuud]

Tree of Life Them drums

Besides that i can't listen to thjis album..This is coming from a Soul fan..

 

[MaNu Minu]

wack
I only listen to kendrick interlude...

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

i don't buy that parody excuse... people are not familiar with you enough to try something like that

then you have some people that saw what you're capable of and you drop twact, which they think is the worst song

TDE tried to do something, and they failed... still a good album though

 

[Lord Mecca]

you nikkas really feelin this?

shyt is wack man... more skippables than anything. I've listened to it twice in a row now hoping I missed something.

All this waiting for the weakest product out of the camp to date (which doesn't surprise me at all, but I figured you nikkas knew something I didn't).

Weak

 

[AlmightySu]

After a few more listens it grew me, I actually like some songs alot. Still a step back from Control System, but its seems like in 2014 every album is either a classic or its trash to people. You don't HAVE TO like it tho, to each his own

 

[notorious8562]

Not what I was expecting but the only songs I don't fukk with are Twact and Sapiosexual

Agreed. Some of the other tracks are average, but those two are awful.

WROH, Tree of Life, These Days, Ride Slow

 

[Stealth]
