Get him away from Carti, Uzi and Tyler and lock him in a studio with clams casino.

Clams is fukking washed. I can't think of a single beat dude has made in like 3 years that's worth hearing. I'm more interested in him finding Ty Beats and Beautiful Lou again at this point. We haven't heard from those guys AT ALL.

And Rocky needs to stay the fukk away from Hector Delgado. I have no idea how this dude ended up being Rocky's main producer like that. It's weird how he's done so many tracks for Rocky, and they're all shyt with the exception of Yamborghini High. Also, no Jim Jonsin, Dangermouse or Rico Love. It blows my mind that any of these guys are near a Rocky project considering NONE of them made Rocky a star.

man this album is fukking trash. :snoop: Of course the jealous Rocky haters who rushed into this thread will celebrate me saying this while doing full time hours in this thread.

This is the problem with disappearing for a long time. The moment you decide to come back, shyt better be FLAMES or it's painfully clear that you're washed. And right now, Rocky is sounding super washed. It's weird. His sound is narrower than ever before (glimpses of screw and 3 6-isms everywhere) while being lame acoustic/artsy. Rocky is known for having the hardest beats in the game. None of these beats bang.

He gets a bit too pretentious with the sounds. That's the problem. He's gotta chill with the euro artsy fartsy stuff a bit.

Well. I liked the album. But you can tell he tried to take inspiration from Flower Boy and what Tyler be doing.
