this album really did get lost in the Drake/Pusha shyt and nobody cared.
i haven't seen one "A year ago today..." seen plenty for Daytona and the Duppy Freestyle though.
Never listened when it came out because of this. Still haven't checked it out lol

Rocky is one of those rappers that relies on his mic presence more than any others, and he sounded half asleep on a lot of these songs.

gunz n butter should’ve been a classic

Good concept, idea, presentation and even beats. Horrible lyrics and execution.

This album was horrible and y’all are playing yourselves revising it. His worst project both lyrically and especially production wise. He should be thankful the Pusha/Drake beef popped off not too long after this dropped, cause that beef caused people to divert their attention and make this album fly under the radar.

its not a bad album. i thought it was utter garbage on first couple listens. i revisited it months later w/ a good pair of headphones and i dunno, i guess whatever he was attempting started connecting for me. its still his weakest album and lyrically a step backwards but its weird now i like every song on it.

More I listen to the album more I think it's his best. I like the variety
I said earlier in the thread this is his best work and will go down as a album that people hated initially when it first dropped but became a classic later on.
