Westside Gunn - And Then You Pray For Me (Discussion Thread

[Heavy_Handz]

This album is horrible. You must be a full fledged degenerate to bump this bullshyt

 

[Won Won]

The fukk is this

 

[Unbothered]

Okay so I finally played the album this morning, didn't finish it but made it to track 13, LIL BOON GUNN.

Now a lot of you say you're not feeling the trap beats but IDK maybe it's an age thing (me being in my 20s) because I like most of the songs so far...

My favorites so far from the 13 songs (12 if you exclude the intro) that I've made it through...

Mama PrimeTime
Kostas
Suicide in Selfridges
KITCHEN LIGHTS
FLYGOD 2x
House of Glory
JD Wrist
Disgusting
Chloe

1989, DunnHill, and LIL BOON GUNN are the worst songs on the album IMO so far, although DunnHill has its moments.

I think this might be better than Pray for Paris because I think these songs, especially the great ones, are much more memorable.

I don't think WSG's rapping is bad at all and he sounds okay on the trap songs even tho it's not his style. From what I gather so far, this album may alienate the older fans who love that homage style of boom-bap sound that Gunn, Griselda (Conway and Benny), Roc Marci, 38 Spesh, etc made popular again.

Seems like Gunn is looking to attract a younger fanbase with this record.

Giggs killed his verse BTW

Salute to WSG for showing love to the mandem

 

[We Ready]

This wasn’t too bad. Honestly I didn’t like any of the songs where he escapes his niche production style. Westside Gunn over trap beats? Nope! I’m here for ludicrous drug raps mixed with fashion critique and stupid gun sounds over dreadful soul loops. With that said

Babylon Bis

Flygod 2x

Kitchen Lights

Mamas Primetime: yea yea, ten shots all to ya body yea yea, stepping over jays in the lobby yea yea, everyone jaws look like Bobby’s yeaaa yeaaaa

Dope cuts for sure

How do you say all that and not include Jalen Rose on your dope cuts?


Song is ridiculous

 

[CourtesyFlush]

Damn I must be weird. Cause once again I don't agree with the coli majority. I like this album alot, more than many of his drumless songs

 

[Figaro]

Mamas PrimeTime
Suicide Selfridges
Kitchen Lights
FlyGod X2
House Of Glory
JD Wrist
Chole
Babylon Bis
Revenge of Flips Leg
And then you Pray for Me
Jalen Rose (Even though i skip West verse because his cadence sounds like it should be on a trap beat )

The rest he can keep that.

 

[NerdNash]

I like this album a lot and I was real iffy about it on first listen

 

[CarltonJunior]

Tay keith on this doesn't sound right at all

 

[CarltonJunior]

There's way too much going on..

This shyt doesn't have a cohesive sound whatsoever

Spoken word intro, 2nd track is boom bap, has some tap dancing interlude, then a tay keith trap beat with griselda members like thats some shyt people wanna hear from them...then DJ Drama appears out of nowhere like this is a gangsta grill even though he had no presence previously, and stove god rambling on the beat

He must not have given a fukk this time, this is not crafted carefully

 

[CarltonJunior]

JD Wrist is actually dope with the old trap producer tags and throwback sound

 

[NerdNash]

Boom Trap

 

[Brandsdale]

Kitchen liiiiiiiights

 

[Brandsdale]

halfway through this and theres a lot of throwaways

Chloe, Kitchen Lights and House of Glory are piff tho
