I like the album. Solid effort. But the over the top dramatic shyt by these dudes in here is ridiculous. nikkas in here talking about crying over lyrics and the verses made them proud to be a Black man again :russ:

And I saw it coming too. I'm at the point in my Coli membership now where I literally KNOW which albums these cats gonna overhype. I said it yesterday before the album dropped nikkas was gonna overhype it. I wanna know how you feel about it after you listen, bro.

I think you have to reset your ears and realize that this is not a jay z album. It’s not even a collaborative. It’s jay Electronica album featuring jay z. I know what a jay Electronica project sounds like and I knew what to expect. I thought it was a solid effort overall.

Guru didn’t do a good job mixing this

Project is aight in a vacuum. In the context of a decade long hype job it's a huge disappointment.
Jayz outshined him something vicious, I think I officially want Jay to regularly release "woke albums". His verses on this and 4:44 complement him being a 50 yr old boss imo. Not hating but I wouldn't care if I didn't hear Elec for another decade :francis:
He had to come WAY harder than this given the hype :dame:

Nah

He is dope though. If Nas did something like get the gat he would have been trending with hate. All type of jokes about him picking beats.

This album is dope but it again sees hov following in the footsteps of the true G.O.A.T.

When Dream was singing on Nasir it was too much but here it's perfect. That nit picking. I'm watching the twilight of their careers... And who's in who's lane?
