The most crushing sounds and lyrical concept i genuinely felt like i was involved with a CHARACTER in an album for the first time and the intensity and arguably ground breaking new wave sonic palettes. Yeahhhhhhh its perfect
Earl is embodying something on this album. Dark, sorrowful but textured and harddddd
a generally unnecessary album but of what we have it is pretty good. I will forever stand by EAST
GREAT EXPERIMENTAL HIP HOP WITH SOME WEST COAST VIBES RAINING DOWN. AND RIP SOPHIE
some great songs, some ehhhhhh. Mostly really great and understated bangers (if that makes sense)
His most cohesive, conceptual, dark, intrinsic and necessary album. So many song of the year contenders too...
some great flows, ideas and bangers across the album. Even the smooth cuts stand out to an extent. The features were great. Just a few songs that pale heavily in comparison or feel like filler.
i love this as a follow up to ‘by the time i get to phoenix’ not EXACTLY perfect but some beautiful and progressive pieces here
post-rap. A beautiful, abstract, ambient, experimental, glitchy, cataclysmic, apocalyptic force of an album.
most vivid storytelling you may ever hear - open, true, honest, real while holding down to the roots and appreciation of where the album was brought up from
such a beautiful meditation of folk while detailing the flow of life and nature.
insane chemistry with that glorious RZA production while hitting all the rights notes culturally, topically and in general.
One of his best efforts vocally and some of the most pleasing Prince tracks land on this.
