I'm not even sure where the expectations were with this album.. It's got 6 solid tracks, a few decent ones, and maybe 2 or so that I wasn't feeling at all, and 1 skit that was mostly pointless unless you're way too into Bronson.

Those 5 of the best 7 tracks were out way before the leak, so if that's where the disappointment is at this point, I get it - maybe the best tracks are played out.

Album fits well into his catalog, and it's a good album to start at for first time listeners. It's approachable, while also not changing the style up so much that it pushes away the long time listener.

I really don't get how this release can be considered a huge disappointment..

I might be way way off on this, but I feel like most of the people that would buy this are people that know who he is already?

I know his cooking show popped off and he was on ESPN the other day, but I'd guess a solid 80%+ of the people that spend money for Mr. Wonderful, aren't new consumers of his music.

As to the disappointment, I never had it that hyped up, and he's not my favorite rapper, but I guess it's that I thought the best songs were the ones I'd already heard way in advance. Out of everything that wasn't released already (Terry, Easy Rider, etc) my favorites were Light In the Addict and Galactic Love.

Quiet as kept, he peaked during 2010-2012 and has been coasting off personality ever since

Sadly, I think he has nothing left to offer us :francis:
Dude started rapping and caught a buzz not even 2 years into it. He doesn't structure songs he just free flows which is cool but doesn't leave much replay value. I wanted to like Saab stories but it was bunk.

I still don't mind dude cuz he entertaining but he ain't an album artist.

I bought this and Kendrick's album.

Haven't listened to the Bronson album obviously, outside of the few tracks that leaked/released. I hope it's good. Seems like a few people said it was alright. 9 bucks to buy it :yeshrug:

I like the parts where hes spitting :yeshrug:

The other parts are hit or miss. Some of it is quite dope. Overall, its kinda ill. Still think Blue Chips is his best project...

Terry is :ahh: forgot that I heard it

City Boy Blues is :smugdraper:

I like the track with Chance :yeshrug:

rather lackluster. started off decent and completely trailed off. none of the Alc joints were really all that special.

agree 100% he's been coasting off personality the last few years. put him on a hot beat and he's still good though. just no feeling this production. Saab Stories was trash.
