    Wanna preface this by saying I actually do like Banks and think this new album especially is very good, but the man’s almost 40. If he hasn’t dropped a Purple Haze before, he probably isn’t gonna do it now.

    This off-topic, but I wish Cam brought back The Mizzle. Maybe Yung Lean can reprise the role or portray the young version of The Mizzle. Fo'Shizzle. d---, girls really do just wanna have fun. Still. "Thots Gone Brazy in The Wintuh-TAHM!" *Playboi Carti Voice* Alright, but I'll digress. I'm about to smoke with my Native Compadre from Another Madre in a few minutes and I think I wanna spin "COTI" a little while after all that subsides. I'll report back with my opinion on all that. Stay Golden, Pony-Hoes.

    Here's my review of the album:

    Started off great. Loved the first couple of songs, quickly realized it was going to be a great album from Banks, but then one of my pet peeves set in.....

    He sounds the exact same with the exact same flow on EVERY single song. You gotta mix it up, man. Got stale for me halfway through because of this.

    But his bars and delivery is still there, he just needs more sound. Would have been a great album if he would have made it a 10 track album.

    Banks also tweeted that he apparently recorded COTI in a couple of weeks.

    In for the better album.

    But he always puts out good mixtape material. His albums have always been kind of boring though

    When you’re f----- up, behavior turns irregular quick, sometimes the pressure overwhelms when you’re the head of the clique/But don’t get ahead of yourself, I ain’t bending for s---/Nobody sees your vision until you’re successful.”

    Your favorite’s nowhere near me when I’m dedicated/Always humble, usually disciplined and never hated/Call me quiet, call me lazy, talent never faded/It’s frustrating when your grindin’ ain’t appreciated/Should have been dead in my twenties, s---, at least I made it/Guess I gotta prove myself again, increase your payment.”
