Wow, props to Westside. By far his best numbers

 

[mozichrome]

only songs i didnt like was Chloe and the song with Denzel Curry

i liked the trap songs and felt was nice switchup from the usual from Gunn
of course when he did do the usual those songs were very good
might cut off some feature verses and only keep his for songs

in summary i dont have the same dislike as many others have stated in the thread

This album is garbage


He could have went about trying to expand his sound a bit better

This sounds like a MESS

One of the worst first listens I’ve had all year. I was couldn’t get past the Ty Dola Sign track, had to throw in the towel. FLYGOD DID INTRO is trash. The JID tracks comes on and it’s fire. Kostas is a great follow up track then the album nose dives into mediocrity. What’s a second half highlight on this?

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

The rozay and jeezy tracks bang tho

This album doesn’t damage his legacy at all, he has a bunch of good music out there and he said he’s not done making new stuff so I’m expecting better stuff from him by next year with the group album and the collab projects. Imagine If this album had songs like this, I think everyone would’ve been happy with it.

 

[I Really Mean It]

awful album. none of his a1s listened to this and told him it was hot garbage?

The highs are really high. He picks amazing backdrops when he’s sticking to what made Griselda what is is.

The trap tracks…..it feels like art imitating life, being that he lives in ATL now. It’s not him, and it doesn’t work well with his rhyme style.

If he wanted to try his hand at curating a trap album, he could have signed a few local acts to deals, overseen their projects and and made the leap that way.

I don’t think he’s retired. Maybe taking a break for a bit…..do some other stuff, recharge the batteries, and come back to music later.

I haven't read any of this thread except the last page.

I just came to say this is one of the worst albums I've heard in a long time.
