Album is a dope, regular WSG project for the most part. And then he just threw some trap joints on there too which is why its so long. Dunnhill, LL BOOL GUNN, Steve & Jony are the worst offenders. If the whole album was like that it would be complete trash but its not. Its actually more dope tracks than Hermes 10, plus some trap experiments that just didn't work out. Some of the trap joints are cool to me - 1989, JD Wrist, Jalen Rose, Freddy Js.

House Of Glory is soulful, sounds like something RZA would have produced for Ironman.

I would have liked some more Rome features but hopefully that just means he has another solo dropping for Griselda soon.

And yeah West needs to cut the trap shyt out next time. Nobody looks to him for that and these joints won't change anybodys mind.

5th play through and I have to rank this below Top 7 projects, that being said the highs are high and the lows are low

He shoulda had a Side A and a Side B with different artwork, it's just no cohesive at all and it feels like he just threw some gangsta grillz cut tracks onto it...like why the fukk is Drama on this shyt more than once lol

Started skipping about halfway through. All I want from dude is some good loops and to get the fukk out of the way for someone else to rap on it :snoop:

The 3 tracks I was digging were Kitchen Lights, Jalen Rose and the Rome joint. Fortunately the second 2 Gunn goes second so I can just cut it off when the dudes who can rap are done. I would have liked the Denzel track if he rapped more and JID did his thing too.

He ain’t retiring.

You referenced that And Then You Pray for Me is your final album. To clarify, is it your final solo album?
[This is] going to be the last album where I take the time to say “this is an album.” When I was doing the Hitler Wears Hermes series, I was doing all them projects like mixtapes. I was recording the whole shyt in two, three days. I’m not saying I won’t come with a five-song EP with Madlib or I won’t do a seven-song EP with Alchemist or I won’t rap. I’ll do all of that, but making a studio album, I’m done with all that. It’s back to dumping until I don’t want to dump no more.

Westside Gunn Says This Is His Final Album, But That Doesn't Mean The Music Stops


That being said this album is all over the place. The trap beats are generic AF & Wes’ doesn’t know how to rap over them - I will say Boldy absolutely murdered that Jalen Rose joint

These the songs I enjoyed from this

Mamas Primetime - JID went all In

Kitchen Lights - ayo who’s the dude that produced this def need to hear more from him this is that luxurious shyt. Favourite joint on the album I keep playing it

Flygod 2X - Jut a shame it wasn’t a little longer

Babylon Bis - only wish there was more verses instead of the Keisha plum but it is what it is
