A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie - Me vs. Myself (Discussion Thread)

[maxamusa]

That’s crazy talk album was heat top to bottom

Savage, Skeezers, Just Like Me, Bosses & Workers, Need a Best Friend, Billie Jean, 4 Min Convo, etc.

IDK I'll run it back....those the only 1s I kept....his beat selection has always been pretty mid....and his delivery can be ruff on the ears with that high pitched off key crooning....I remembered having to turn down the volume and not being able to bang that shyt...

Like I said I fukk with the kid and when he's on he's on....Timeless the best example I can think of....His major label albums have production value of mixtapes.

IDK who his team is but if he locked in with a serious producer/engineer I think he could be out of here(I know; he's successful...I'm talking thats music shyt) He been around for a while 2. I get his lane no doubt. Maybe it just not my steeze like that IDK.

I just jumped from listening to her loss to hoodie szn.....you feel me?

Hoodie szn had

voices in my head
swervin
demons and angels
uptown bustdown
odee


I think they might have added Odee that was loosie that was actually hitting


thats 5/20

Yeah I wasn't feeling it...to be fair, I was running everything thru the gym test which might have made the album sound worse lol...

Actually gave tjay album more run

I will say that boogie has another gear artistically to unlock, but I think he needs an outside ear

I liked his chemistry with his first producer DStackz the one he did Artist with that was beautiful music

Hoodie SZN was dope as fukk imo it’s a bit somber sonically tho which I think he was going for. One of my favorite albums of the new Gen I played the shyt out it 2018/19 give it another go for older heads it might not be the wave though with all the melodies and high pitched crooning

Bx we here

Not terrible or anything but the music is ass and of course most of these auto-tune ass nikkas hang onto the backing track for dear life.

Fivio, Glorilla, and Fab were there too and the latter two, who actually RAP, smoked the shyt while Fivio and Boogie were just

I’ll just add here that he IS a terrible performer lmao. He performed at the 50 Tyc00n Fest a couple months ago and the only person he was better than was B Simone.

[god shamgod]

This dudes music had got progressively worse

Why is man in the mirror on this album? It was on his last project

 

[CantStop]

This shyt is awful. Never really been a fan tho so I might be biased

 

[OfTheCross]

will bump...

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Only song I've played is Drowning Pt. 2 because the first one was fire. I'm disappointed

I was probably just cutting him some slack

Also the nikka was dressed like he was going to a party in 1978 . I respect it but it clashed with his whole image and music so hilariously

 

[FukYaFeelings]

Ion listen to boogie but I listened to Durk so I listened to Damn Homie and that shyt been on repeat

 

[AMcV'88]

I know people that work with son so I was going to keep hush but it was so bad I had to say something

I like the first song but this is one of the worst albums I've heard this year.
Boogie and Dave East both dropped an hours plus worths of pure garbage.

 

[Yecht]

We still pretending this whiny, auto-tuned weirdo is good? Grow up

I gave this album a couple of spins. This is A Boogie's 8th major release. Out of the 2017 XXL freshman class A boogie, XXX, and Carti were the only ones I rock with and thought had potential. Here we are all these years later....

The 2 songs I posted and Man in the mirror are the standout tracks. I didn't post man in the mirror since that song been out. When the kid gets in his pocket his flows are dope. He can spit some shyt. I like the production on those tracks. They're current, got a bop that fits him.

This album was marketed as a conceptual album. "Me vs Myself." I have yet to identify where the concept is executed. The album art and visual content is disney/video game based. Unsure of the meaning.

This album has most of the flaws of his latest releases. The beat selection on here is probably his worst yet. They don't compliment him at all. None of the sounds could fit on any playlist or set nicely. The beats are really bare bones. They all feel like a drop never happens or are incomplete. A boogie also struggles on a lot of these, his flow gets all over the place as a result and sounds lost. He tries to make up for it with tone/delivery/flow changes but it just doesn't compensate.

The sequencing is also pretty awkward. For a conceptual album the sounds are on the opposite ends of the spectrums. Its hard to build a vibe at all because of this.

Long story short; this shyt got no adobe, Sazon, salt, NADA; and has u asking for some hot sauce to pour on it. It feels incomplete on a lot of levels. A boogie not letting ANY feature go first doesn't help his cause either. He got heavy hitters on it but you gotta come with that shyt if you're making me wait....


I honestly don't know what the goal was conceptually or sonically. I don't know when I would listen to this type of sound minus the 3 songs I stated. It feels like music to PAWG 2 or you'd hear at urban outfitters. For your 8th release to be regressing this bad is a disappointment.

PEACE
