Albums Dave East - Survival (Discussion Thread)

[RJThaGreat]

This Penthouse joint was Nip's record me and @ItsMeButters was waiting YEARS for him to drop that shyt



Even got my nikka ad-libs on here

I don't think I can handle this... I used to play that Nipsey vid on repeat on IG when it first dropped praying it would release at some point... and now it's on the album..

Cool album.. still hasn’t topped Kairi Chanel imo

I’m always going to look at that as his true ‘debut album’

 

[JA_Carter]

The whole ‘ On My Way to School - Seventeen - Mama I Made It’ is one of the best storytelling sequences I’ve heard in a long time

Listening to it now while I get ready/on my commute.

Intro is ok.
Turned Penthouse after the first verse. The hook is awful.
Godfather 4 is the song that grabs you. Shouldn't happen at track three, but it is what it is.

That nip tribute is cringe

Just listened to it

I thought it was a nice tribute and I’m not even a dave east fan

what’s wrong with it?

 

[Rell Lauren]

Need a Sign through Mama, I Made It is where the project begins to hit it's stride. Seventeen doesn't move me, but it's the middle of a three song storytelling sequence.

Album is solid

The opener disappointed me
Then I realized Premo did not do the beat and it was Swizz mediocre ass.

 

[Rell Lauren]

This doesn't feel like a debut album. This feels like an album from someone who's been rapping for a while. Outside of the first two songs, I can't complain. I'm at Baby right now.

Gonna listen once I download...

I believe u when u say this. East a helluva storyteller. Damn, cant wait now

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

Dave is my favorite out of all the new nikkas

Can't wait

 

[Rell Lauren]

Like a roller coaster, it goes through its highs and lows. In that dip right now. "Alone", "Everyday" and "Devil Eyes" are ehhhhhhh. "Night Shift" did not need that Lil Baby feature at all.

Real talk his real debut album was tracks from Paranoia 1 and 2. Them shyts were way more personal

 

[BK The Great]

Album is alright, the storytelling tracks are good but i'm not sure how long this will stay in rotation. Feels more like a mixtape than a album. My favorite project from him is Kairi Chanel Paranoia 1, 2 & the Styles P collaboration album.

 

[Rell Lauren]

The song with Max B is terrible. East has got to stop singing and rap. That's what he's good at. A brutal five song stretch.
