Action Bronson – Mr. Wonderful (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

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.

Man I sort of always halfway don't like Bronson's production. There's not much that I really hate, but all the producers he works with, I think he tends to pick stuff from them that's just not their dopest stuff. Minor complaint I guess. Also he goes to a lot of the same sounds. I think I've heard him rapping over guitar samples a few dozen times by now.

Couple more listens before I give it a final rating. Are the people who are being harsh on this Bronson fans in the first place or haters anyway? I thought it was cool first listen.

Made me smile quite a lot "momma I love you , you lucky slut"

"Terry" is amazing. "A Light in the Addict" is incredible.

Strong album, to me.

Man I read the production list and I think there's 1 song on the album with a producer that's not white

Oh No did "Only In America"! Haha!

 

[Tetris v2.0]

He got 88 Keys, Omen and Oh No on here, he's trying

Agree that Bronson has been coasting a bit. But he's making lil moves outside of music. Never invested much into him as an artist, as long as he makes feel-good music with funny ass bars, I'm happy

"Terry" is amazing. "City Boy Blues" is incredible.

Strong album, to me.

he did? I thought Party Supplies did that.

EDIT: You're right. That's crazy.

Saab Stories was a joke. Worst part is that it came out at the same time as Albert Einstein... I was like "welp looks like I'll never listen to Saab Stories again."

Now he came out the same time as Kendrick. First time with Saab Stories he got beat out by a better listen... this time it's both a better listen and monumental wave

I can't believe you guys really like that "Only In America"

Maybe it's because I'm not American or not white but that shyt is straight you guys gotta be kidding me. Who gave Party Supplies mic time that hook is all types of garbage... shyt sounds like my homey made it.

On the flip side he had bangers with "Terry", "Actin Crazy" is dope as fukk... to me Easy Rider was straight bananas... he released all the heaters ahead of time. Brand New Car is typical Action and I wasn't mad, the Rising is cool, then Terry then Actin Crazy.... then this downhill spiral. Falconry is garbage.

What amazes me is people feelin City Boy Blues... the most non hip-hop track . Action Bronson is a rapper.

I sound pissed cause I am. fukk you Action... I expected better from you.

Yeah i agree 100%.

album started off ok..i was into it and trying to ignore the feedback i read on it...then the album tanked badly after the first few tracks. he def released all of the good songs up front.

The album has heat on it, but there are duds too.

Only In America is complete garbage. I have no idea how some of you are riding with that.

City Boy Blues is terrible. 88 Keys is so average, it's ridiculous. He has an occasional production that is dope (almost by complete luck) that gets snapped up by Kanye.

So I will agree, this album could have been a lot better, I'm not sure what he was thinking with those two joints. If the entire album was anywhere close to being as good as the best 6 on it, the album would have been great in my opinion. Problem rests on the 3 or so tracks that just suck. Why would you release an album that has so few tracks, where you have already released all of the hot tracks ahead of time, and then drop the remaining 6, 3 of which are bullshyt?

I'm feeling a little more disappointed about it today. They overlooked too many details on this release.

 

[g-ice]

I'll say this...Only in America and City Boy Blues are after a couple more listens.

I just heard mayhem laurens joint. Mayhem lauren cd with buckwild>>>>>

 

[TheGodling]

This mahfukka right here made half a prog-rock album.

And I was wondering all day too if it could be as disappointing as people on here were acting like it was, but no way José, this shyt is mad dope.

Like the moment City Boy Blues kicked in and I realized what was happening I just died. Bronson's 100% a fool. I really wish I could see the faces of the label heads when they had the listening party and realized they just invested money in a doped up chef rapping over prog rock.

I mean, I can understand how City Boy Blues is a bit too far out there for ya'll, but Only In America? That shyt is fukking brilliant!

"NYC what the fukk is goin' on?
These mothafukkas won't play my song
They sayin' that we soft, they sayin' that we fell off
They sayin' that these other fukkers better than us, you gotta be kiddin'
A bunch of pussies, when you piss, you gotta be sittin'
You tie your hair in a bun and shirt in a knot
You got the urge to suck the cock of Serge Ibaka
Pictures of naked rappers hangin' in your locker
You and your father never played catch, he taught you how to twerk
Since I've been on the Earth I've been lightin' up
And I've been all around the world twistin' dykes and purp
shyt, light the earth"



All that seems we're goin' nowhere
All that seems we're goin' nowhere
All that seems we're goin' nowhere
Goin' nowhere, nowhere

That's kinda what he does though, right? Bronson and prog rock samples go hand in hand.

not 1 track worth a shyt

seriously one of the worst albums ive heard from an established artist in years. none of the producers brought heat, and lord knows Action aint carrying a track without a fire beat
