I thought it was a short film, didn't know it was only in theaters

the movie has no release date. it was shown in previews so it's a theatrical, that's all we know.

I’ll say this, if you’re a fan of his already.

More than likely you will like it

If you like artist that push the envelope and try to expand the art, you may like it.

But if you someone that likes the same ol shyt that sticks to the norm and the conventions that always stay the same. You probably will only like a few songs but overall won’t like it as a whole.

I’ve never been a fan of his earlier shyt. My favorite is “awaken…”. I like this almost as much. I normally digest music during my commute. I had fun listening to this one the way home

This definitely feels like a “Soundtrack” type album…. Which I liked a lot. I was just having a discussion on here recently how no one really amps soundtracks to movies like that no more.

Some of the dopest albums in the 90s was sound tracks. Menace 2 Society was one of my favs. I Got The Hook Up, Crooklyn, Rush Hour, etc

These young niccas don’t know about that era

He really dropped a soundtrack for a movie that doesn't even have a release date?

It felt a lot like the Janelle Monaé/Wondaland opera style of storytelling (ArchAndroid/Electric Lady), building off of pieces other songs and genre’s and pouring in the theatrics.

My girl and our kid are going to love riding around to this and “Why Lawd”.

Album is cool but got no flow. I get it, it's a movie soundtrack and he's exploring different genres, but it was a tough listen. Maybe it will grow on me, gonna give it another spin.

I feel about him like I do about bad bunny. I don't really like their music ,but they both had an undeniable album that will be their opus. But the style they got big with isn't really my vibe

 

[Killah Ray]

Steps Beach..... I'll eventually get to the other tracks, but I keep going back to that one....

 

[Paper Boi]

this is new?

 

[Apollo Creed]

Kinda mid

 

[Killah Ray]

this is new?

Supposed to be the last album....but then again AltaVista was supposed to be the last one at one point too....so who knows?

 

[Paper Boi]

Kinda mid

yeah idk how i feel about these fixed up albums that already been out... they're nicer than the originals

but i would like something new

but i also would be fine if he never dropped new music because i was not feeling the two remastered ones over the two albums he dropped before those.

breh already has a classic album to me, i think he is better at TV than he is at music, maybe stick with one thing.

 

[Lootpack]

I’m gonna be honest with you.

In this era I’ve seen more coli breh and cats in real life dress more flagrant than him.

He just wearing a Hawaiian shirt and short shorts.

We got niccas out here wearing tight leather pants, dresses and mini skirts

Homie stays rapping about short shorts, lol. Wouldn’t really be a Gambino album without some corny bars. At least he owns it.

 

[Paper Boi]

i like a lot of it, even the tracks that are less traditional more experimental hip hop. but this shyt annoys me especially with artists that wanna be all over the place like him. i like experimenting, but if you are doing 20 tracks and 15 of them are not cohesive then separate them. drop different projects.

he just drops whatever thats on his mind and it just has no cohesiveness in the last two projects. i thought there was a lot of cohesiveness in the ones preceding that.

i hope whatever he drops next has some cohesion because he is a talented artist, even when he is experimenting.


it just doesn't make for a good album.
