Albums Pop Smoke - Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon (Discussion Thread)

[Ahadi]

Why is the production so lazy on this? They straight up stole 5-6 hit songs from the 2000s and remixed it

The rest of the beats all sound the same on some NYC drill/trap sound from last year

They couldn’t get some diverse producers to contribute a fresh sound to some of the tracks

Not to mention he sounds like Travis Scott on a few songs

Yeah I would of liked to hear him over Justice League, more UK drill & feature with a UK artist.

40 YEARS!!!!!

Snitching is the one . This was the first time Quavo and Future was on the same song in a minute, right?

nikkas on my block played that and For The Night like a million times these last two days... RIP Pop, man

Pop Smoke sounds like Lloyd Banks using 50 Cent’s style

all in all, I like 75% of the album. He was working on some versatile shyt. I can see why ppl would’ve been upset about the lack of drill songs but hey, he recorded these tracks himself

Tyga is a good fit for the track he’s on and if 50 wasn’t petty, I think Meek Mill’s flow would’ve been dope on that Got it on me track. The beat sounds like something he’d use

Keep 2 4’s like I’m Kobe

 

[Metal Face]

meh album overall
too much melodic/pop sounding songs

Meet the Woo 1 is still his best project and has harder tracks

 

[Cheech&Chong]

Was pop the next puff music wise?

Many men
So special
Candy shop
My whole life has changed


Dude flipped songs we came up on and killed them. This album makes his loss worse man. The potential....

Future floated

 

[Sauce Dab]

Quavo and Future was rapping they ass off on “snitching”
That song was probably one of the unfinished ones which is why they verses was so long
Pop Smoke was definitely going that pop music route, ain’t mad at it

Steven Victor gonna eat good this year

The late Pop Smoke is on pace for a runaway #1 on this week's HITS Top 50 with his highly anticipated debut full-length, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, via Steven Victor's UMG imprint Victor Victor and Republic. Streaming over the holiday weekend kicked the set into overdrive.

Pop's posthumous LP is slated to debut in the 200-225k range, with audio streams approaching 225 million. This is what specialists in data analysis describe as "hella big." His previous release, breakthrough mixtape Meet the Woo 2, opened at #7 with 36k in February.

Pop Smoke (Victor Victor/Republic) 200-225k total activity, 35-45k albums

Thought the album was kinda boring, solid 3 mics though. A lot more inconsistent than the previous work

 

[BK The Great]

This should’ve been on this album

 

[krackdagawd]

Every time i see Quavious the gawd on a pop smoke feature

 

[Escobar305]

Sucks my boy ain’t get to see these numbers while alive

Album is not as good as the first two classics but it works more than it doesn’t
