First time I heard Ferg on Kissin Pink I thought that s*** was wack as f***, but as time went on I literally went :ohhh: on the 180 discovering how dope he is. Ever since Trap Lord bruh has been cemented as one of my favorites. He's original with his own sound, and ever since I heard that Flex freestyle a few years back I've gained respect for his artistry. Same reason why a lot of OG's mess with him.


This project ain't Trap Lord status but it's still dope to me :wow:

Yep, he has his own style. I love his voice and the way he flows on records. His ad-libs are GAWDLY as well. :laugh:

After a few listens I still like a handful of songs on this but as a project it's just really average to me. some of these songs are just hard to listen to, I was hating on this album pretty early into my listen tbf since it opens up with maybe two of the worst ferg songs iv ever heard, I don't understand how the typical radio friendly song with the usual generic breezy feature is one of my favourite tracks on here.

I love you, Let it bang, Beautiful people, Let it go, World is mine and Grandma are the songs I like...Rest is mostly awful

Damn @ the hate :dahell:

I like this project. I don't think it's good as "Trap Lord," or at least I don't feel that way right now.

It kind of starts fading at the end with the introspective type songs. ASAP isn't bad at them, but I was feeling the bangers he was producing on here and could have went another few of them. Hungry Ham, Yammy Gang, Uzi Gang, Let It Bang, Psycho >>>>

I can't fukk with half of this album. I'm sure a few will grow on me but several tracks are instantly bushes status. Haven't heard anything on it that really captured my attention either like on Trap Lord or Lords Never Worry, and the album doesn't really have any kind of consistent direction.

Everything else is a mix bag of :francis::skip::scusthov::dahell:

Ferg was always hit and miss to me, only project I liked thoroughly was Ferg Forever. This was bad, like really bad off the first listen. Songs kinda ended abruptly and you have to start your albums strong and the first four songs were terrible. I'll give it another shot but I'm doubtful.
