[FreshFromATL]

This shyt is so swaggy, damn near drunk a whole bottle of wine and ate like 4 blowpops to this

 

[AJtheOne]

Abel skated on Sidewalks

I ran out of tears when I was 18
So nobody made me but the main streets
'Cause too many people think they made me
Well if they really made me then replace me
Homeless to Forbes List, these nikkas bring no stress
I feel like Moses, I feel like I'm chosen
And if you ain't my nikka then your girl single to me
I don't give a damn if a nikka said he knew me

Grew up with no father so nobody ever "son" me
My flow too sick, Kevin Costner couldn't touch me
I know you wish that nobody ever love me
I feel useless when I'm never making money
Well, this the life we always fantasized
Rich folk problem through a Queens Street nikka's eyes
Every time you see me pulling up in Aventadors
Just know we been grinding on them sidewalks

Another reason why going into this album was such a big implosion of aural excellence...


Technically, i've never been a big fan of Weeknd's projects!


Outside of a few collabos and Tell Your Friends Aboot It... I have never been interested in his sound.


That's why hearing Starboy In full totally blew my aura away. I'm really feeling the production, the flow (it's so cohesive - for my tastes and perception).


But just consider, his strong penmanship/song writing regime coupled with the A-list production he was doused with (and extremely heavy basslines/fluid and robust percussions)... you can't come with a better formula/ingredients for a stellar mainstream R&B album.



Outside of the Lana Del Ray innerlude... I haven't felt this strongly about an R&B album in a long time (don't get it twisted, i'm also deeply fond of the Bruno record... so you know these two juggernauts are getting constant rotation like David Robinson and Tim Duncan in 98-99).


What else can I say... i'm gonna go so far as to get StarBoy printed on my custom license plate.

It's a lie, a lie...
I catch you every time...
