It could be about 5-7 tracks shorter, Seventeen is the highlight along with Godfather 4 for, I didn't like the opener with Premo at first but it's growing on me after a few more listens

I will give it a few more spins, but what's with this dude really wanting to be a 90's rapper in 2019?

I'm sure that's what he is inspired by. It's a breath of fresh air in my opinion. It's a very good mix of old school and new school sound.

It’s not a bad idea for Dave East to make music caters to women but he’s just not good at it so he should just stop it. Lol. It does NOT work for him especially the lovey dovey shyt. If he could make some dope relatable shyt about women I think that would be where he would strike a match. It don’t even have to be lovey dovey. For instance. Somethin like “Deuces” by Tyga and Chris Brown is not a song catering to ladies but it caters to them at the same time because it’s relatable.

Give it a 7.5 outta 10, penthouse was unnecessary, remove e40 verse, baby track, track with lil baby not needed... but I've listened to it like 4 times and still sounds good :yeshrug:

this is the first time i've seen a dave thread (about music instead of gossip) do numbers. i guess being in movies/shows really works wonders for a music career :wow:

Think I judged too quickly

The intro is growing on me :wow:

A couple chick songs too many but I understand the direction of the album. It's a commercial debut. The deep and hard shyt is for the mixtapes
