people always have a problem with his music. even when he is spitting people say he's corny and they can't take him seriously. if he's not for you then go listen to some old shyt he used as inspiration that he has apparently failed to replicate. :yeshrug:

BAY AREAAAAAAA!!!!
I hate this shyt he's doing with his voice :francis:

Especially on California. That song had so much potential but that shyt he's doing fukks it up.

ETA: 4/11 on the first listen. Baby Boy the best track. I hate his voice on California but the beat saves it. Sort of. Those two and tracks 1 & 2 are the only ones I see myself re-listening to as of right now. I feel like he tried to do waaay too much on this one. Idk if he's on his funkadelic/hippy groove, or he just tried really hard to do something much different from "Because The Internet". Feels forced on the first listen. Like he just kept adding stuff because he didn't feel there was enough going on for it to stand out. The guitar wailing on track 10 was too unbearable to sit through fully.

Ft. Stewart, Ga
The Kauai half of STNMTN/Kauai is the best project he's ever done. To me, CG has always been at his best when he's singing. Imagine if Letter Home was longer :wow:


Kuai is dope but I always felt he perfected the blend of singing/rapping on Because The Internet. That's his best project so far

Album is great period. The only song that is not good is California.

I know people always say that Kanye West newer music you can visualize ... nah :thumbsdown:

This is music you can visualize, this is well put together. From the funk riffs and dark undertones. Bringing back the sounds of our parents generation...

My favorite song is Terrified
:whoo:
