i feel this way about the moneybag yo joint

Same. Cause upon first listen when it was posted, I won't diggin' that particular track but for some reason, it sounds better on da album.

Spaceships On the Blade

Gone be tough to beat

I added those and the ice cream joint too and they fit well. Only thing is they don’t have the skits like the rest of the album tracks do at the end of em but it’s cohesive enough and works

Yeah that would keep me from putting those songs in as well unless they were strictly treated as bonuses at the end. Album is too cohesive to break sequence in my opinion.

a lot of shyt broke my heart, but it fixed my vision

Album is to me.

It's not as if any of the songs are wack per se. But the album is just kinda all over the place. I guess a more positive person would say it has something for everyone....but to me it sounds disjointed as hell.

One of the skits said the album took 3 years to make, and it shows. It sounds like he took a gang of songs from a bunch of random studio sessions and threw them together. Not saying he needs one producer à la Madlib or Alc, I been a fan since "STR8 KILLA". But there should be a cohesive direction.

My favorite song is "Dark Hearted". Pusha T had the best verse on the album though.

I love that aspect personally. Reminds me of a more focused Purple HAze,

Out of all criticisms, how is lack of cohesiveness one for this album

The skits and song transitions were the standout things for me I was impressed by

You can add skits and/or blend songs so it sounds like a whole project, but it doesn't change the fact that "CIA" and "Too Much" sound like they should be on two different albums. Never mind the Alc and DJ Paul songs.

He's done that before ("Extradite" on "Shadow Of A Doubt", etc.) but never to the extent of this project.

Not saying Gibbs is in the right, but women love throwing out the word "narcissistic" anytime a man does something they don't agree with.

That's like the go-to word for women these days.

Gang signs was better than that moneybagg single

 

[kdslittlebro]

My Alc stannery won’t let me say that first half of Blackest in the Room was lacking, Fred was in the pocket like Geno on the Jets
