[dora_da_destroyer]

got this going now...boggieman got me ready to do a soul train line alone in my living room... type of sorcery is this? dude has erected the souls of p-funk all in my house right now. this shyt is so fly


will continue to update as i make my way thru the album...

edit: zombies got that bootsy collins going on...man, i'm in love with this album already

edit 2: was feeling redbone from last week, but this honestly might be the standout track on this album. don't know how anyone could deny feeling good when this shyt drops

edit 3: how dare he make this abomination of a song for my state guess i'll take solace in the fact that him & lloyd made one of the GOAT songs for my city (telegraph ave)

terrified is

edit 4: baby boy is aight, the sound is a bit more blues funk so i don't think it sits well in the album, but as a standalone track it's cool

Sweden seems to be an untapped resource of production talent...

Only listened once so far. Production

My only issue is Donald's voice is more pop than funk. He lacks that grit so he sounds like he's forcing it.

Gonna give it the clean up the crib test tomorrow.
