That doesn't fit the Dave East hater agenda :mjlol:

From nikkas running with him selling 3K to people now claiming the album has now converted to a mixtape to people saying Dave get $5000 a show and tours hole in the wall clubs :mjlol:

I would say it wouldve been perfect at 12 songs. its 20 including the bonus tracks. I dont count the bonus. so lets say 18. out of those 18 about 12 of them (including the intro) are dope to me. the problem with the album wasnt the lack of dope songs but the abundance of wack/needless ones.

It’s obvious Def Jam forced him to make certain tracks for a “hit”. Problem is in 2019, no label should be telling an artist to do that anymore. It ruined the entire flow of the album (especially the second half) which had some obvious generic club tracks. That and all the songs sound like throwaways verses and songs from the featured artist. Unacceptable in this era. Understandable 15 years ago.

:russ: They did. They just all flopped.
(Max B, Gunna and Jacques single). The album rollout for this is screams early 2000s. nikka even got a video girl (Rosa) to star in the video to help it go viral.

I agree, Def Jam had to have some say so even if it was after album submission. I think they or his team thought more was better when some of these shouldve been tossed on a mixtape. If Def Jam had no say so then East should have no excuses or complaints if people are critical of the album. like I said, its so much music coming out weekly now and I stream everything so I dont have time to be jumping from album to album just to hear a few select tracks....I put an album on that I like and just let it ride. I have streamed this album very little and hardly any in the past few days because I simply cannot do that with this album. If it omitted my 6 worse songs on there I would stream this joint 2 times a week minimum.
