This dude is a fukkin psycho. I refuse to support this trash

It's not a rock album, having a guitar in your music does not make it rock.

If anything it's R&B where the
artist handles all the rap features.

I like Rock, hell I like Metal and other shyt
that's called "Demonic" on here and I'm a long time fan of Atmosphere and Joe Budden so depressing self deprecating lyrics in Hip-Hop aren't new to me.

There's no wit here, hardly any depth, and from where I'm sitting it's looking like directionless teen angst that only seems original when he's compared against his peers.

Put him up against lower tier rappers like Wale or Big Sean and his skill set as
a rapper starts looking inadequate.
Put him up against singers and that falsetto he keeps abusing just seems "ok".
Put him against Cobain whom he wants to be so bad and again dude starts look really regular or really mediocre.


It's a Grunge Rock inspired take on Urban music that I think someone would do better if they had a considerably wider world view and a much better pen game.

Ok

I'm absolutely DEAD at this being considered a hip hop release. Just skimmed through this shyt on the strength of a few Coli comments. Should've known it'd be non-hip hop trash

 

[HiiiPower]

Why does this guy have a song labelled as an interlude when it's the same length and sounds the same as the rest of the songs lol

 

[ComorianKid]

Is this any good?

X's rapping has always been the best thing about him all that hype turned up shyt straight garbage too me ... It's either his straight rapping or melodic music that gets me

 

[SirBiatch]

This is easily the most garbage 'rap' release of 2017. It's not even a rap album on any level :shyt is 95% imitation Nirvana. I was so fukking surprised

You can see why a person wouldn’t wanna check him out like that tho, I listened to this album and actually really liked tracks 2 & 4, but was pissed they were so short, the rest just didn’t do anything for me.

But rapping wise the kids pretty talented, he’s just a fukkboy who coulda gone somewhere but he’s probably fukked yo his life.
