So this dude is a mix of every 90s/early 00s rapper with some basic new school beats. The focus of this album is everywhere from reminiscing on his past to lusting over some girl at a party to what it means to be a black man in America. Overall, this is the most unoriginal trash I’ve heard in a minute.
Looking back on it I think I over hated it.. I at least enjoy a couple of tracks from TX.
Edit: syke
This is actually super tight considering he was around 14 when he was making these songs
This album is so safe. It’s just straight formulas. Idk how this got a Grammy nomination over some of the better albums this year
RIP. Seemed like a good man.

Just sat through 2 hours of a godly Asian man singing live. Idk what he was saying but it was beautiful.
Despite not being in this album’s demographic, I found parts of this enjoyable.
Phonte still sounds like a “rap died with Tupac” rapper tho.
If X was alive to complete his work, I feel like this could be the album. The first two songs feature verses and structure which work really well with him, but the rest of the album fades into an unfinished heap with wasted potential. RIP Jah.
Edit: so we went from fucking obnoxious intros to creepy ones, huh?
My opinion hasn’t much changed to my original ‘review’. Train food and Guardian angel do indeed have verses and structures that I really enjoy but beyond that.. ... read more
I want her to make an album which is packed with energy like on Rage and In The Air. The other shit just doesn’t work imo.
There some really dope individual tracks on this project, but the album is just straight bad.
From the occasional moment where Drake retreats after doing something great to the onslaught of filler and shit songs, this just isn't a solid project and i don't see any way around that. All the great songs are grouped together quite late into the album and it's honestly a struggle not to break concentration on the leadup to them.
There’s a completely pointless interlude right near the end ... read more
