It's ppl saying this isn't that good? :scusthov: shyt is flames straight up and down. I swear some ppl need to get their ears checked. We got this and Curren$y, dropping on the same day, and they should both be universally recognized as crack music.

This dude knows his music :wow:

krits music is just not as commercially viable as most mainstream artist :yeshrug: it is quality music no doubt but you can tell on the album he was trying to shift paradigms or at least was too focused on the outcome being a balance and lost some quality in the process. its still above average though

On second listen this is growing on me everything from 8 on is nice; it's very different though...

I just can't understand how someone could love KWH and R4 and say they're not feeling this.

Admittedly, this probably isn't quite as good but it's not THAT far off. If you loved K.R.I.T.'s sound then I don't get why you'd think this was a letdown. This isn't one of those situations where an artist drops banging mixtapes then completely switches their sound up for the major label album (I'm looking at YOU, Gucci).

This is that Dungeon Fam throwback, soulful smooth ass riding music that made us all K.R.I.T. fans in the first place. It might maybe lack something like Southern shyt or R4 Theme, but this is pretty much the album I expected (and wanted) from K.R.I.T.

I do think he will have to evolve his sound after this as his music will get quite stagnant if he keeps channeling early Outkast and UGK. But to me this album caps off his brilliant run of music and I'm exited to see where he takes his music in the future.

This lacking the :krs: moments of his earlier work. I can really say I wasn't BLOWN AWAY with any of these songs. This is the same guy who made Hometown Hero,Rotation,Temptation,Good Enough,Kings Blues,Dreamin,Time Machine etc...the music is in the same lane but it has no spark to it and just feels off for some reason. So we ended up with a diet version the shyt he did before this.

For every "dope" song on here, there is another song on his previous tapes that execute the same sound only 10x better.

Time Machine>Pull Up *whip song*
Country shyt>I Got This *hype club track*
Players Ballad>Porchlight *for the bytches*
Temptation>What U Mean *strip club song*
The Vent>Any of the slow introspective joints on here

He gave away to many classics, but it's probably more of the label not wantin to clear samples than anything.

I can understand how you feel that way.

I've said before that mixtapes have hurt the game as much as helped. Artists almost get burned out before they've dropped their debut.

Back in the day artists get their buzz up through singles and guest spots. Now you gotta drop 5-6 mixtapes before you got a proper album. In that time your sound can already become played out and the music lacks some hunger.

That's one thing about LFTU; it doesn't feel like a debut album. It's not the sound of an up and coming hungry artist going hard on their first album.

But the music is still dope to me. Praying Man, My Subs Pt 2 and Rich Dad.... are some of K.R.I.T.'s finest songs.

.

Thats cause he was hungry and unsigned on Krit Wuz Here, that was technically his debut album no matter how many nikkas wanna call it a mixtape.
