The thing I don't get... is that if they're thinkin about sellin records, why wouldn't they just release those Lighters type of songs, because those would be something Joell/Joe/Crook are more capable of doing than (modern) Em & Royce, who already proved w/ Lighters that they can make a hit w/ that type of sound. Now they're doing something which isn't that close to their comfort zone & shyt sounds like an Encore leftover.
I was EXPECTING, damn near lookin forward to those "poppy" Lighters type of songs & now there's this, the Busta Rhymes song & Throw It Away (which sounds amazing compared to this, lol) I don't care about... haven't heard the Busta song but
@ putting that
ass badabada rapper on any album...
I was expecting 3 or 4 those type of tracks, considering My Life wasn't exactly similar to that Lighters/Airplanes/Love The Way You Lie/Spacebound sound...
I finally listened to snippets & I gotta tell that I was low-key surprised that the 2 songs w/ Skylar Grey prod. by Alex Da Kid didn't have the typical sound for their songs either... Both were sounding kinda less poppy than expected
oh well, the album is still gonna be 20 songs minus intro, skit, this & Throw It Away.... so it still could be good
People were definitely overreacting in that snippet thread, not in this though.
