I feel very similarly to WLR as I do Die Lit. This album is very important to me and I’ve spent a lot of time listening to it and being obsessed with most of the track list, but I don’t like it as much due to the bloat and some of the tracks just not being that great.
It’s got more consistent lows than Die lit but I’d argue it has higher highs. Should this maybe justify me giving it the same rating as Die lit? Maybe, but my heart tells me not to
You ever have an album where every track is your favourite at some point or another? Die Lit was very close to being that album for me
This album is what really got me into music, along with Igor and Graduation, and out of those three it’s been the one I’ve relistened to the most and the one I think I love the most.

Self titled kinda falls off after No.9 but everything up to that point is amazing. Say what you will about it being repetitive but it just hits a certain part of my brain the right way. I’ll still get the hooks for most of these songs stuck in my head after years.
Sometimes I wish I could erase scaring the hoes from my memory. I love that album SO much that whenever I hear another JPEGMafia album I can’t help but compare the two. I wonder if I would like this album more if scaring the hoes didn’t exist, like is it me or the album?
It’s definitely not bad, but I don’t resonate with a lot of these tracks, JPEGultra is probably my favourite but that’s because I just love Denzel so much. I think I listened to this album like ... read more
