I think I gotta scale back a bit of my praise about the mixing:patrice:


I think the bass is a bit too thick/prominent on a bunch of tracks and it gives an overproduced vibe and hides the instrumentation

Minor gripe. Not a huge deal

It's been stated alright is the same sample as Ross' Presidential record. To me it also sounds a bit like a slowed down version of Wale's No Days Off. One question though, why skateboard p sound like swizz beats.:why:

Let me talk my Stu Scott, ‘scuse me on my 2Pac
Keep your head up, when did you stop? Love and die
Color of your skin, color of your eyes
That’s the real blues, baby, like you met Jay’s baby
You blew me away, you think more beauty in blue green and grey
All my Solomon up north, 12 years a slave
12 years of age, thinkin’ my shade too dark
I love myself, I no longer need Cupid
And forcin’ my dark side like a young George Lucas
Light don’t mean you smart, bein’ dark don’t make you stupid


holy shyt at the wordplay and at the same time saying some profound things. Who is this rapsody kid on complexion?

Listened once.

It sounds nice. It's cool....

But it literally has NO bangers..

Like what would be the stand out undeniable joints on this?!

I'll wait.

When I get signed, homie I'mma act a fool
Hit the dance floor, strobe lights in the room
Snatch your little secretary bytch for the homies
Blue eyed devil with a fat ass monkey

I agree it has no bangers but I guess it's obvious he wasn't going for that. There's like nothing you could really pick for a single..he couldve easily made bangers so you can see it was done on purpose.
