The issue isn't the trap beats, the issue is WSG sounds stiff as fukk rapping over them.

Fred.
This. He has no idea how to approach that shyt. You can tell he has these tracks specifically to challenge/clown dust rap fans but...what's the point if you can't do it right. Also what does it say if that's the only modern sound he can pick. It's wild that it's nearly 2024 and these guys still haven't figured out they'd probably sound good over Rick Ross-type shyt. Not trap Ross but like...the more cinematic shyt with hard snares.

I hated this album at first, but just revisited for the first time since it dropped, and it does have a multiple bangers.

Gunn do be sounding stiff af on the trap beats, but some of the trap beats too dope for it to matter (JD Wrist and Disgusting :wow: )

The songs with R&B incorporated into them are 1000x worse than any of the trap attempts

if he made this album and didnt put himself on it and was just the ep, it would be way better

Yea it was hella tracks with a lot of filler. Could've been like 9 tracks tops and been actually dope. Gunn just not serious enough of a rapper to have the range of flows and versatility to go over trap beats and boom bap, esp on the same album. Was just messy.
