Not enough of the real drill vibez I was hoping for

 

[Collateral]

Hearing all these I got the gun run up hooks and bars on this album just makes his death even more depressing. Feels like this young man willed his death into existence.

Man EXACTLY. Every time they play Dior on the radio and he says “said I’m never lackin always pistol packing with them automatics we gon send him to heaven” I’m like

I just can’t get into his music and his lyrics because of the way he died. It’s so sad.

Just listening to Pop Smoke for the firs time, he reminds and sounds like Trae.

Waste, no Woo features either.

This was not a Pop Smoke album. Puff Smoke maybe

It is. This is literally what he had planned and his last recordings.

This was not a Pop Smoke album. Puff Smoke maybe

It's very possible that this is the album he was working on before he died



Most of the features people are mad about were planned while pop was alive, and he was definitely showing signs of going in this direction before he passed.

 

[old boy]

The criticism is retarded

Some bytch was on Twitter talking about why Rah Swish and Smoove L and Bobby Shmurda aren’t on it

Apparently that’s what Pop would have wanted

It’s like they completely ignored Pop’s level up and ascension and the actual ambitions he had for his career

lol correct me if i'm wrong though but i thought he ain't fukk with smoove like that

Why is Dior a bonus track?

 

[FaTaL]

How much of this album was actually completed while he was alive?

To get streams for his family.

Diana with King Combs was done and Calboy was supposed to be on it as well.

Got It On Me, Something Special, What You Know Bout Love, Enjoy Yourself were already teased or leaked before the album.

He recorded all the Quavo songs for a collab tape with him.

So a good amount which is why it makes no sense why people are criticizing the features and direction of the album.

They really acting like 50 and Steven Victor sat down and took a bunch of acapellas, called some artists, and created mainstream sounding songs. Nah, Pop was trying to get into that mainstream star lane.

He was focused man. No junkies around, wasting studio time/money.

 

[BlueHeffner]

She wanna fukk wit the wooooo

90 percent of this was in works while pop was alive.

It seems like all they did was add a few verses to songs he had in the cut. I dont know if all this would have made it on the album, but most of it is shyt he was working on before passing. 50 ain't just go in there and pull some biggie duets/ loyal to the game shyt, this is real pop music breh.

And the sad part is that I have a strong feeling that this was probably everything he had in the vault.
