Only one so far is a legit banger to me. I’ll be honest, I’m kinda skeptical about this album now, but I’m always willing to listen to Q’s full work before judging.

I've liked 2 singles so far but only listened to everything once. Gonna wait till it drops for the whole experience


I've played the tracks but not enough to spoil them, Plus they're not complete and I listen to a lot of music, shyt will be fresh


Am I just finding out now that Q is short as fukk?

Yeah I dunno the production is very lacking on the tracks I’ve heard so far TDE in-house production has been lackluster these past couple of years.

It sounds like a sonic shift, perhaps in more OF/Tyler territory or even some of the stuff Vince has been doing. But still sounds dope. I feel like Crash Talk kinda showed the limitations of trap at this point for Q, banger wise. The better stuff on that album were the weirder tracks like Dangerous, and so far this album sounds like that to me

I liked that the album kept me on my toes, Some might feel different and that's fine too. I've seen comments on this and that shoud've been longer but only felt that way about "Lost Times". Overall enjoyed the 1st spin but hardly digested it properly yet.


On a semi-related note it would be dope if the coli had an "Ignore armchair A&R babble" function.

It's gonna flop most likely.

Dropping an album, and not even having a radio/street single after being non-existent for this long is still insane.

Seemed like the "let radio decide what they want to play" death nail decision from a label. Maybe we're wrong and the fanbase comes out no matter what but this sure looks like it's gonna be a 30-40k first week thing that falls off the charts afterwards. They effectively killed his career for no reason...

Dope album, definitely need to digest it more though. I feel like this is what Crash Talk should have been. Thank God 4 Me is certified, immediately.

One thing I don't get though is the features from Childish Major, AZ Chike, Devon Malik (twice!!). How you go from collabing with E-40, Raekwon, Kurupt, Jadakiss, Suga Free, Vince Staples to these bums is just beyond me
