Album is :ld: 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 agree with the overall sentiment of this post. the album was all over this place. Both the ALC and Lib placements were just so-so, nothing earth shattering like Lambo was claiming leading up to it. Fav track is "Space Goofy" :yeshrug:

Album was weird for receive at first and I didn’t know quite what to make of it. I’m not sure why. It’s grown on me since and continues to make a better impression, got some real heat on here.

Zipper bagz :ahh:

Did Meek react or respond to what Gibbs said on Rabbit Vision about not needing a minister to squash his problems with Wack?

barely post in here now and currently skimming through this album and have the same exact thoughts as you, dark hearted until the end was the highlight of the album for me.

he also should’ve put black Illuminati on here.
