Damn this is spooky

Thats terrible and all, but why do people need a GoFundMe when shyt like this happens? Why didn't they have a good insrance policy that covered everything they owned.

Wrong thread

After a few dd's days of listening and letting it sink in it's an ok album

The production is amazing and I get it he's going to chill vibe route but that's not working for me this time

I want this nikka TO SPIT

I'm talking Ronnie Drake, Shot You Down, Webbie Flow....

Beats like Darkseid, RIP Young, Headshots deserved better

Yeah we need Civia Isiah back because I dont understand what the fukk this nikka is talking about. But fukk it we vibing

3.5/5

From The Garden with Uzi is a banger and probably the on3 song where Zay clearly outshines the feature artist. If they kept the OG instrumental it probably be my favorite track.

you got a link to the OG? cant imagine it being harder then whats on the album

speaking of, great great album....shyt is an absolute vibe

Zay really spittin if you listen

I'm like on my 11th playthrough lol

Some of these stray bars are really heat

Agreed. My only issue is the presentation.

Last two tracks were a huge change of pace for my and I appreciate it and I'm happy a lot of dudes say they enjoy the album thoroughly. I can't fake it however, personally. Don't shoot is an EXTREMELY relatable song. Hes just the wrong guy to convey it and have it punch through.

None of this is enough to ruin the album for me, but I do agree that this album has a ceiling on the enjoyment factor for me.

Why do you think he's the wrong guy for Don't Shoot if its extremely relatable?

IG?

 

[John Mexico]

Why do you think he's the wrong guy?

Hes in a different place than Free Lunch Isaiah, because when I think of his delivery as an up and Comer I always refer to this track. Personally for him, maybe that's a good thing for since we all know he had his demons.

It's just my opinion. What he's saying isn't piercing through. There is some dumbing down going on but I don't think the dumbing down is the issue.

All Herb, idk what that was.

Nobody cares what non blacks think of hip hop. Zay has been relatable since pieces of a kid.

 

[Rozay Oro]

@John Mexico non blacks always have goofy takes when they don’t come respectfully nor do research. Even Eminem who’s a damn hip hop nerd. Respect the culture.

And everything is cool until some stan posters gotta come in and throw in some irrelevant bullshyt that ain't got nothing to do with discussing the music.

When I have no issues with the content throughout the entire album and no issues with how he executed on the content his last two releases for different reasons.

It's not even that serious like I said I'm glad folks are saying uts one of their favorite albums of the year

It’s true. I’m not even a stan. You can hate the album but to say x shouldn’t do that song because y is so disrespectful. Critique an aspect of the song but not the artist’s vision.
