Still listening to it. Best out of the 3 that dropped with PND 3 coming in last.

Slower than the mixtapes but still dope.

 

[Shameonyou]

guns and roses is his next big hit

listened to this last night... at the gym lmao. came in and saw some posters saying it wasn't gym music and I learned that the hard way.

but i was feelin it for the most part. nothing too mind blowing or surprising . very "of the times" and typical of the 2016 sound.

but im lookin for that 2018 sound right now though

and I know tory is capable of it. he just didn't do it here

production is extremely top notch though thats for sure tory's always worked w producers who have been lowkey miles ahead of the generic, popular producers of today.

he saw how much people went apeshyt over that beat switch drake's NWTS opener (tuscan leather) and incorporated that into the first track here... the beat switch here is

I can't tell if this album is a track-for-track replica of what every other hot rapper/singer's sound is right now... or if every other rapper/singer sounds like this because Tory worked on their projects?

I never really got into Tory or heard much of his music so u wasn't really anticipating this, but I gave it a listen this morning and I actually like a lot of this album, production is nice and fits him, his singing ain't bad at all (tho nothing amazing) and he's really gliding on some of tracks too when he's rapping.

I get what people are talking about tho when they say he's lacking some of his own style, not a bad thing to be versatile but he really sounds like other people on a few tracks, other than that this album is pretty solid.

His sound was much more unique when he came into the game. Case in point.





But it came a point where he realized that he had to give in a bit and commercialize his sound more. Dude is ridiculously talented and has written and produced for a lot of rappers, including Travis Scott who you mentioned.

The Tory sound you guys are hearing is dumbed down and commercialized compared to how thorough and advanced his craft really is. This sound that you're hearing on this album isn't really who he is as an artist, but it's what everyone wants to hear.

Oh yeah he sounds completely different on these
