Albums Brent Faiyaz - WASTELAND (Discussion Thread)

[Mr Hate Coffee]

maybe i just wasn't in the mood, but did any of y'all brehs feel like the songwriting wasn't as strong as his past projects? I thought the production was kinda lackin too...i know one of the two producers from Sonder didn't contribute so idk if that's why...

Bro i feel the same way. I need to run it back a few more times tho.

I randomly listened to this and it was just ok to me, brent is not a good singer and he wasted all of the features, the drake/ neptunes record was cool but i heard that last year

The waste of that Drake feature makes me want to shed a tear when I think about it. Brent and Drake are probably my two favorite artists of the past few years. Hearing them come together for a feature had me like Then when it came out I was like

The record is too low energy. Was that the best the Neptunes could do? Drake killed his verse tho.

After sittin with it since it dropped and runnin it back a few times, this one just ain’t for me

It’s a handful of tracks I rock wit but this is the first Brent project with skipables for me…the production is all downtempo so shyt starts to blend together…this is his weakest writing by far and like some other brehs said the features are all forgettable with the exception of Drake…

[ItWasWritten]

No breh

Maybe you'll like his first album better, songs are more mature... I like the bol

 

[100Percent]

shyt definitely grew on me. Probably the most drastic flip for me on a record because I was not feelin this at all the first time around.

Think I rushed through it first play thru cause there were so many tracks that are either skits or singles from 2 fukkin years ago ( ) once I played it all the way through I fukked with it. You gotta be patient with it but I definitely think its a good album

 

[1thouwow]

Joe budden killed this shyt

 

[Guvnor]

Y'all got to let this grow on you. It's a fire album.

First disappointment of '22. Shame, this year been solid on the rap side of things.

Where? Westside gunn let me down, Drake's album let me down, Kendrick album was great but too heavy content wise for me to play on a regular basis, and I could go on and on. What were some good rap albums this year.

 

[Lord Beasley]

his album is middling

duke sounds infinitely better on this feature

Demonz (feat. Brent Faiyaz):

Wasn’t a fan of fukk the World as I thought it was too toxic to the point of sounding like a parody but this is great. Can’t listen to Price of Fame, Gravity, Rolling Stone & Dead Man Walking without hitting the replay button

As of now it’s the R&B album of the year for me
