The first half of the album is alright, but seems kinda slow to me
The 2nd half though? Its like you shift into Nitro :whew:

Major kickback from Crash Talk, he really did deliver.

What’s the time signature on that beat to “smile”? Is that regular 4/4 with some kind of weird syncopation or is that 3/4?

It's actually 6/8
edit: @Sauce Dab

Usually when I finish spinning the album "smile" gets multiple plays. Great closer.

This might be Qs biggest strength - Unique and diverse flows/deliveries but this time the beats are arguably more unique and varied


But even going back to Break the Bank (A pretty standard beat) You give that beat to most rappers and they're not approaching it like that.

Oh okay we on the same page then because you can write it out as the same thing. 3/4 or 6/8

If he was chasing a bag then he wouldnt have made this type of album. You don’t make experimental stuff if you trying to make money

A$ap rocky would disagree. there is a market for it. and its untapped TBH. that hipster bread n fan based is serious.

But Rocky always has radio singles on top of that to sell it too. Last album had a single with a Moby sample lol. Q said fukk that and just did what he wanted to do. There is no bag chasing here. Whatever success he has over the next 1-2 years will be tour based, not album sales based.
