The songs on the last leg of the album are way too corny. The Lil Yachty skits are too much, they ruin the flow of the album too. Coming, Going? is too slow for the pacing of this album. I don't mind self-deprecating humor, but when that becomes your whole personality, it gets old really quick. With that being said, there are definitely bangers like Ikuyo, Games, Babies, Playinwitme. Most of the production is quite nice as well. It's just that sometimes Kyle's songwriting isn't up to par.

Sure, some of the songwriting is not the best, but the production and Roddy's catchy hooks are interesting enough to carry the project a good portion of the time. But there are still a lot of mid songs on here that should've just been cut since they sound unfinished and/or are badly mixed. It's still better than LLF, somehow.
Best Tracks: Feed Tha Streets 2 (Intro), Nascar, Die Young, Cream, Area Codes, Down Below
Worst Tracks: Faces, Brand New
Not as good as his debut album. A few duds here and there, but not a bad album by any means. Could've done without the interlude and Eminem remix.

Listening to this, sometimes I forgot the music was even playing. The first half of the album is much better than the second half.
Edit: Saw her live with front row tickets and it just changed everything for me. Even crazier is that my bff surprised me with the tickets as a birthday present. I'm not crying, you are😭😭
Original Score: 80
Best tracks: traitor, deja vu, happier, favorite crime
Worst tracks: none 🙂
Japanese folk and singer-songwriter veteran Ichiko Aoba makes her official chamber folk debut and it is one hell of an experience.
Rolling Stones said this was Top 20 Hip Hop albums of the year. LMAO
Edit: (Original Score: 25) Gave this EP a second chance, it's actually not that bad. Shoutout to @Andre58
