Ab Soul delivered a good album, I though longterm mentality was dope too.

Hearing Black Hippy develop over these last few years has solidified my belief in where this generation is taking hip hop.

This album is actually pretty good. I figured giving it the car test would give me a better listening experience but damn. I might just have to go to the car everytime I want to review a new album.

Remember yall cant judge music through basic ass computer speakers

after two listens, im not too enthused.

i didnt like section 80 after two listens either. but i had that feeling to keep listening. and i ended up likin it alot.

this though is not good.

i kept soulo ho3, bohemian grove, illuminate, and empathy for future listens.

ab souls delivery is too much. kendrick harnesses his flow and it comes out razor sharp whereas ab soul just sprays randomly.

this is all comin from ohio. those on the west coast may feel different.

Yeah sometimes if I'm blunted his lyrics and delivery are hard to get into but when he goes off and I'm sober his music is just :ahh:

At least you kept Empathy, realest track on the album. Listening to that on some good headphones feels like a brain massage. Timeless music. It's even crazier when you realize the song is about his girl. Then in the second part where she sings, you hear her in the background going off with that voice. :gladbron: Too bad she had to go.

I seriously think this is his best work. Longterm Mentality was alright, I only took a couple of songs from that album. But I can play this start to finish without skipping over any tracks.

Was she depressed or something? Was there a suicide note? Whats the real story of her death?

She jumped off of a radio tower reportedly, i think that's why he had that line "as much as i wanna jump off a building, etc" which pretty much confirmed it for me.
