Albums Dave East - Paranoia: A True Story (Discussion Thread)

[ISO]

i only see weirdos on the coli do the Dave East vs Don Q shyt....nobody cares. females be trashing Don Q sayin that he ruins A Boogie's tracks if we keepin it a stack. they look at him like Remyboy Monty

That was at first breh when he came out of nowhere on the High Bridge tape


"I just ran into a blonde jawn" one of the most quoted IG captions by these thots in NY dying their hair.

I actually had that Dave and Don argument with my bros many a times for the culture they need a collab tape.

Vado definitely better

I'd say try me is bigger than anything Boogie has done and Ima fan of Boogie

Drowning went Plat and Try Me went Gold, Drowning had a higher Billboard peak, Drowning got 84M views without a video in a couple months to Dej's 62M views with a video since December 2014.

Dead ass? Try Me seemed like a much bigger song shyt was everywhere, don't really remember hear Drowing like that. props to Boogie and Kodak then

You do realize it takes a ridiculous amount of streams to get one sale right?

im prolly off or wrong with my numbers but i thought someone said that like 500k spotify streams ends up to be about 5k?

thats why i be looking at artists like when they post plaques about going gold with streams and shyt

It takes 1500 streams for ONE album sale, it takes 150 streams for ONE singles sale.

Off first listen this is very underwhelming

A step back from his last 3 projects

The title of the EP and the content don't mesh.

6/10 at best

 

[Redwing80]

I was disappointed the tracks he was previewing aren't on here but I can't complain.

I been listening to East since Black Rose and each project he's dropped since No Regrets shows growth

His song writing and lyrical ability since then has improved.

Hate Me Now my favourite project from him and this may be the 2nd

A Boogie and Don Q get compared the most and general consensus is that Don Q and Dave need to do a tape together.

Sidenote, I finally get the A Boogie hype.

He got my attention with that joint he got with Kodak,

but I heard this the other day and it finally clicked for me.

Can't front.

Him and Fab bodied this..

Had dime bags on me walking past La Guardia house
They killed my cousin the fukk we talking about?
Forever beef

You nikkas really listening to this shyt ?

 

[ISO]

Comparing this to his previous works is pointless. This is a long EP, 7-8 songs and a few skits and interlude.

Paranoia Intro | forgettable intro, this track is just average at best, I can tell Def Jam put him with Jeezy

The Hated Skit | Hilarious Skit, "fukk the Dave East nikka bro, I'm not gonna front I don't know if that nikka even from Harlem, nikkas don't got love for him, nikka be in Queens how the fukk did he even meet Nas?"

The Hated | one of the best storytelling joints I've heard from East, definitely above average joint, "Anthony hood called him Ant Live, kept a pistol on his so he bought a bigger pant size" , I'm cool with Nas not being on this

Phone Jumping | joint is hard, beat is hard East and Wiz did they thing

Jazzy Interlude | random but Jazzy is , sets up the R&B vibe of Perfect well

Perfect | I thought it was generic when I heard it, it's not a bad song though, but this is for the females I'll skip this most of the time, the video for this coming soon lets see how it does

Found A Way | great song, like I said this is a late night vibes song when you slumped after a long night

Maneuver | great song been wanting to hear him and French, song is super NY, East talking about nikkas robbing PathMark and stealing from Jimmy Jazz , if I was East I'd shoot a video for this I feel like it could get good regional play

Pop's Crazy | hilarious skit, East pops remind me of my uncle

My Dirty Little Secret | this shyt was aight, this for the girls too, the hook works but he needs to dumb down the lyrics a bit for the women, he shot a video for this but I don't think I'll revisit it

Kairi Speaks Skit | Skip, nice to see East is a good father but I'm not trying to hear that

Wanna Be Me | Dope track

Have You Ever | one of if not the best Dave East songs ever, beautiful beat, great hook, great lyrics, great outro

 

[loyola llothta]

This is why an artist with decent street props and real hip hop buzz shouldnt sign with Def Jam The bag isn't worth the deception.

Dej jam suck

 

[Newzz]

Boogie doesn't have a hit/bigger song than "Try Me"

Yes he does












And this Dave East project is mad boring, but it's because of him. Same flow, same vocals, same topics every single song


He's gonna have to drop another project, because this is a dud. His last joint was much better
