The biggest crowd response was to a Drake or Meek record. If these nikkas don't collab again they are fukking STUPID.

Survival ain't the one for an intro bruh...bush that shyt. You can clearly tell he re-wrote it about 1min in to try to address the chopper suits and deadbeat stuff. Start it with 8/10 and it's lively and pulls you in. Survival is good for 1 listen and it's skip status afterwards.


1. 8 out of 10
2. Emotionless
3. Can't take a joke
4. Mob ties
5. That's How You Feel
6. In my feelings
7. Nice For What
8. Sandra's Rose
9. Elevate
10. God's Plan
11. Nonstop
12. Talk Up ft. Jay-Z
13. Blue Tint
14. After Dark ft. Static Major and Ty $
15. Jaded
16. Finesse

You trim about 25 min off of the album run time and it isn't a chore to listen to. Listen to it in that sequence and tell me if i'm wrong.

I still don't like the album thought. I fukks with Blue Tint because the homie Supah Mario made the beat and he's from my hometown and actually made the Ice Melt beat on More Life too]

I think the album is unfocused, bloated and is sequenced wrong. You can clearly hear the last minute changes they made and on several songs he's just rapping to say he raps and lacks energy. On the singing songs he wasted some beats with Jaded and Finesse. Even with After Dark i feel he was the low point of the song as his verse was not a fit for the beat or song.

Songs I can rock: Blue Tint, Elevate, After Dark, Talk Up, 8 out of 10, and Can't Take a Joke
Songs I can tolerate: In My Feelings, Emotionless, Sandra's Rose, Mob Ties
Songs that are sometimes skip status: Gods Plan, Jaded, Finesse
Songs that are not getting any play from me at all: The rest

All of this means you like the album. It’s 2018. If you fukk with a lot of the songs it’s a good album. No one is listening to albums all the way through more than a couple times anymore

If you don’t like a song you don’t have to ever hear it

I tried to keep it unbiased so I gave it an honest few listens and my post was strictly in response to the tracklist @wingstop posted.

I gave this album a listen back to back while doing yard work earlier this week. I didn't care for it on the first run though but didn't dislike it enough to hit him with the :trash: so I let it run back. On that 2nd listen I started to really see where they scrambled to tweak this album last minute and it affected it. :manny: As a DJ the first thing I noticed was it didn't flow well for me so I tweaked it and took the songs off that I just didn't care for. The track list I gave is not the one I have for myself but only a suggestion for those you like the album like that. As a listened I noticed he had some very very bad bars on this album and I thought the they messed up some songs in the process. That "That's how you feel" track was just filler and like a lot of the songs...had no reason of being on there. My actually list of songs I listen to are:
1. 8 out of 10
2. Mob Ties
3. Can't take a Joke
4. Blue Tint
5. Elevate
6. After Dark
7. Talk Up


7 songs out of 23 is not someone that likes the album.



I feel like he messed the vibe of Emotionless up and the sample wasn't mixed right and sounded too loud at times. I can see the lure of In My Feelings but it's more of a novelty song to to wave ride the bounce love he got from Nice For What.


Just not impressed by this album...and it's ok... like you said...I don't have to listen to it and I probably won't.

I can kinda agree about trimming the length of album

But the summertime is a perfect time for a long album. The days are longer and people usually are doing activities where they have time.

Long albums are great for road trips in rental cars, commercial flights, sitting at the beach ,being at a pool party or or standing in front of a grill for hours.
