This album is sooo good, great to see Soulo back, and even happier he’s still here with us.

hope TDE steps up the momentum, I’m here for another album from zay, THIB still gets hella play from me, need the redemption album from Q, need a banger from Rock, need SiR to give lucky daye a run for his money

Very good album. I haven’t listened to a lot of Ab Soul so I don’t really know how this compares to previous albums but I dig it. Doesn’t just feel like a random collection of bangers either. It’s a well done album with a purpose.

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

wow

great album

 

[dizzy4111]

This by far his best album to me

 

[Heretic]

Might be my favorite track all around

I need him to lock back in with Kendrick. I know he was all over the last album, but I mean like in with Section 80 GKMC Kendrick. Don't get me wrong, Kendrick doesn't have a bad album to me but the direction he's headed is like to that pretentious level of rap where everyone has to debate every song as if it's some kinda laureate level writing. I just want to hear the music and don't want to have to listen to it over and over again to "get it". Hope that makes sense.

This one was average to me. Im feeling 5 or 6 joints from it. He's flowing all over the album though. I wasn't crazy about some of the production on it.

I agree about the production especially on my second listen, he sounds hungry but I'm sure after a few days I'll be on to something else.

Three tracks in, not feeling his delivery on Hollandaise but I like the beat

 

[Corndog]

Yooo this is fire

I thought this level of performance from ab was long gone. Happy to be proved wrong

 

[Piff Perkins]

GOODMAN is fire. Who produced it?

Oh 100%, and I get that. I think Fallacy was such a perfect blend. Hit-Boy went premier on this joint with a hint of nujabes, and Soul sounds like he had fun making this track without going too far into the obscure miracle lyrical. Some of the triple aunt andres folks aren’t going to get on the first pass, but it isn’t to the point that it feels like work for the listener, too pretentious and preachy nor did it get too dad joke-y.

I can see as K Dot continues to move into the performance art lane, he may loose more of the accessibility and it might end up on some Donald Glover shyt…which aint bad but again you can’t just sit down and listen/enjoy pieces like that everywhere

Right? I don’t even

If listeners didn’t catch that out of this album I don’t know what to say. He looks different, sounds different from loosing teeth…I’m just happy he got a second second chance, and I hope he continues to get the help and support he needs.

I feel like Mac’s death really affected a lot of the TDE dudes more than they thought. All dealt with it in their own ways but it seems like a lot changed for them all around then.

he said he didn't do it on purpose. he was in a drug induced state and barely remembers how it happened. he is explicitly anti-suicide.
