This album was an all-around good listen. For me, the record was at its best in the middle. It is kinda funny to me that what I feel is the strongest portion of the album is sandwiched between the 2 tracks I have the harshest opinion of. Share the Sunshine Young Love and I still feel her PT 4 were the tracks that just didn’t click with me, and while I didn’t like them a good deal, the songs weren’t bad. Just really mid.

The songs are trash, and this guy has a comically insufferable ego. Like he is comparing himself to JAY-Z, 2Pac, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Michael Jordan and Terrell Owens. Excuse me?
I really couldn’t tell you how the songs go. The only sticking points were the bars where he kept talking about how great he is and how he “inspires the ones he inspired.” How am I supposed to respond to that?
Such a terrible album. Really wish I could get my time back.

Ultimately, it’s a mixed bag, but ... read more
The big thing for me was that this album just felt extremely “eh.”
The opening track is the best song on the album, but afterwards just didn’t really have anything I really gravitated towards. Despite me liking it, I couldn’t tell you how it goes. There were moments where I was liking some of the songs on the album, but then there would be patches of painfully mid afterwards.
I just think that there was a lot more work that was needed to really make this album a whole ... read more
I think that first and foremost, I should state that I am American. Why this is important is because Britpop was not something that I am super knowledgeable about. Only in the last year or so have I actually learned a little bit about the genre and the notable acts, but that's still on a more basic level. In terms of the argument between Blur and Oasis I would say that I lean more towards Oasis, although I have known who Blur are longer. Granted, that's because Song 2 gets played everywhere and ... read more
