    Where does it rank in your opinion? I remember it earned average reactions and reviews when it got released but I always liked it. Of course it's not up with his classics but Glory, My Heart Races On, London Roads, Murda, Pick Up Your Heart, Street Chains and We Livin' Like That are some great songs. Some beats may sound outdated but that's a common problem with recent Weezy and back in '15 they were ok. What y'all think?

    Wasn’t really a fan when it dropped, thought it lacked the energy of S4TW2 and the C5 singles, but gotta admit its grown on me over the years. Still mid tier Weezy but it’s a solid album.

    I like a couple tracks when they pop up on shuffle but I've never intentionally played anything on here after it initially dropped

    They ruined some of the songs on the retail version with changed instrumentals without samples. I always liked "I Feel Good" and "I'm that N" and it sucks they f----- with those on streaming services (can't even find em on youtube). Still have it on my comp if anyone wants the OG version.

    Always appreciate a Jones Soda as lean mixer reference

    I pour codeine in a Jones soda/Pop a Percocet, I feel like Balboa :wayne:

    its a 6/10 project at best. Nothing great but nothing terrible either
    This is the best song. Wayne should work with London more often

    Yeah sample clearance issues f----- up the streaming version. I used download everything on my SD card, so thankfully I got the OG too.

    This was a messy album, but looking back at it, it was a blessing to even hear Weezy at the time. Dude was getting kicked on the ground and was in a uncomfortable position cause of freaking Baby being greedy. This was the spark in his lighter that eventually propelled him to go ham for the following years, low-key this was an important album in his career.

    f---in loved it. After C4 i felt like Wayne's music was nosediving. Just sounded monotone, autopilot on his verses. D5, IANAHB2, all that s--- was just boring as s---.

    Then he had that seizure & got clean. And he had a certain energy that wasn't there since like his prime. 2014-15 he just snapped on everything. Believe Me, M's, My N****, SFTW2 tape. I'm probably the only person in the world that liked his weird high pitched fast rap flow from then. Even though it hella sounded like he was biting Thug.

    This album, while a mess, had a bunch of those fire Wayne verses. I loved it. It's not like cohesive or "art" or anything, but boy was he spazzin on this.
