slowed down genuinely sounds better then the original, because it oddly simplifies the production which was a big problem in the original speed, but this is still getting a 0 because this is a bad trend in music
i'll write a review later, just know this ep is peak asf and lonely is like a top 3 oddwin song
ngl this ain’t that bad, it just came from one of the worst single rollouts of the year. still not the best though, Thick of It is trying too hard to do too much although Low is actually kind of a vibe.
trippie wasn’t too bad tho he got his bag
it’s a shame low is attached because it’s not actually that bad despite the wordy and ass pre-chorus
This album is actually just peak. Easily AOTY so far imo, this album is just incredible. From the insane and crazy bangers like PACKAPUNCH, LIKE A PUNCH, THE BADDEST, DOUGHBOY, to the more chill and jazzy cuts like the title track, that are just straight up beautiful while still fitting in with the aesthetic of the album.
Then we get to the lyrics.
This album so fucking insanely funny with so many funny quotables, here’s a list of my favorites:
“Can I get a "what"? ... read more
yes this is nostalgia bait but ngl it could be alot worse, this is a fun sample
this a banger, it catchy, it fun
but lil yachty’s feature isn’t the best, it’s mad short and this deep voice he does sounds forced and like he’s trying too hard to sound hard
like the song, the name drop is clever, but the mixing on the chorus is awful
insane beat, great hook, decent verse by ice spice, and a confusing inclusion of central cee even if he is trying his ass off
70-85 the central cee verse grew on me ngl
inconsistent rapping quality wise, but damn if this hook and production go crazy
yeah this is amazing
fun filled bangers with a ton of funny one liners and catchy choruses
only problems imo HooooYeaaaahhh doesn’t really stand out despite not being a bad song, and back to back Tomioka is a bit unnecessary, wish we just got the remix
still an amazing project tho
love pharrell’s production, but bro did not cook
this sounds like a demo, the production is kinda good, but most of these vocals are amateurish and really weak, and it becomes alot more apparent, when he actually sings well on the background vocals in the bridge
few positives are the refrain is p good, the production is kinda good, and verse3 is pretty catchy and sounds good on the ears
first half is much stronger then the 2nd half but the 2nd half has potential ngl
was suprised by this album considering imagine dragon’s reputation, but this was good even if the 2nd half was flawed
brief thoughts on them in order of my favorite to least favorite
JustFanum - definitely the kendrick lamar at tde bet cypher, of this cypher, brings a cool westside gunn inspired verse and has insane stage presence
Agent 00 - ab soul and teejayx6 fused together like it was steven universe and it works ngl, this funny af, “straight up to the penthouse, got kicked out in 6 days” got me laughing hard, nice yuno miles ahh beat
Duke Dennis - future’s long lost brother drops a ... read more
it’s aight
it’s got pockets of good like lucifer, fuel, and head honcho just to name a few
but the rest is kinda forgettable or way too long with simple beats
