Jul 13, 2024 Unfortunately fans of his earlier work didn't have to endure over-produced trap beats, random black guys doing hooks every few songs and s-----y features. If that was his intention he missed massively.
Jul 13, 2024 Just got the beat shady choose it line on Lucifer my god its way better when he doesnt pause or get it adlib it
Jul 13, 2024 TDOSS did 23.5 million more first day streams than Kamikaze and it sold 430k in the first week. Like Em said, "r-----ed people don't know they are r-----ed".
Jul 13, 2024 I hope it sells well. He deserves it for this album! Some minor critiques but the positives SMASH the negatives on this project.
Jul 13, 2024 It's a black person thing. Em also does the same when he says Tony Starks. Black people do it all the time "Joe Buddens" "K-Marts" "Wal-Marts" etc
Jul 13, 2024 man, we have a kid he signed but sucks and to make it worse didn’t even rap in English, White Gold who no one would ask for a hook and should stick to producing, Jelly Roll who is cool but it doesn’t really work and JID who makes music for you nerds that want lyrical miracles over charismatic artists. This album is good, but trade this weak features for Royce, Dre, Fif and Wayne or Nas and it’s automatically way better.
Jul 13, 2024 Some people are fans of his older work, but their tastes change or, maybe they still love the old stuff, but they want the artist to do something new to it instead of retread Also, while his older albums had dark humor, they were more creative. The songs had storytelling, non-sequiturs (unexpected punchlines). The subject matter has more variety. Those albums weren't just shock value alone; they had the other components of good comedy too.
Jul 13, 2024 The only issue is the lack of a big single, since Houdini is old by now, love it but they let people move on from it. There are no physicals yet either, can’t even preorder the standard yet.
Jul 13, 2024 I think I'm coming to terms with the fact of, this may be his modern-day Relapse in terms of reception The album will have a cult following as well as a lot of people who don't like it
Jul 13, 2024 I know when MTBMB dropped the CDs were in stores by the following Friday in the UK so to see the CDs and cassettes have dates months from now is shocking.
Jul 13, 2024 Relapse is way better than this s---. Relapse feels genuine. Em being recently sober, trying new flows, not being afraid to show his vulnerability. And it just has a quirkiness to it. It just feels like a person who got off drugs and is re-discovering their personality again. This new album just feels like Em just saying whatever things he possibly can to get in news headlines. Relapse felt like its own strange little world. This album is just derivative af.
Jul 13, 2024 Why don't you like JID? Honestly I feel like JID is heavily Wayne influenced and a great up and coming artist to feature. Idk just me.
Jul 13, 2024 I’m so glad I’ve only had a chance to listen 2 times. All I can think about is when I’m going to listen again
Jul 13, 2024 I mean.. lol. We should start a private section here where I can tell people I like and trust what I know and what I've heard/ why I believe certain things. I could go into a lot more detail. It would accomplish two things. Keep me out of trouble and allow me to tell you guys a whole lot more AND prevent others from stealing the info.
