album has grown on me alot this weekend. id say its better than i decided. i dont like the way he approaches certain songs but lyrically, his rapping is always very good, if that makes sense. dope album. great content. very inspirational.
as far as it being too long, i guess it saves him releasing a deluxe version ina couple months.

Did I ever tell y’all how much I hate Detroit rap :beli:

Cypher should have had Dusty Mcfly and Elzhi on it.

Gonna give it one more spin but it’s not moving me like the first Detroit tape

Marv One and Nolan the Ninja too, but hey Detroit is the land of the spitters, need a tape with all of the Detroit breh's on it to get all of these hating dudes up out of here.

Second half Lucky Me is present on the album elsewhere. Hes trying to feed all sides of the spectrum though. Its alright after giving it a couple days. Just cut some filler next time.

:gucci: Y’all in here copping pleas for this mid ass shyt. The album is just good/average, nothing special and that’s okay. The world is gonna keep spinning :heh: I’m gonna keep 5-6 tracks and keep it moving. He’s never gonna top Dark Sky Paradise.


Album is all over the place.
I must say that I’m pretty shocked. There’s a lot of good songs, but I’d assume that Sean was aiming higher than this, cause he shows that he has the talent and he also has the mind, support and on.

But this basically sounds like “a collection of some songs I’ve been working on”. It’s neither I’m trying to show that I’m the best Mc nor I’m trying to sell a lot of records. Just a bunch of songs that are all over the place and some of them just magically happened to be dope and many meh, next.

I’ll listen again to see if I catch the Detroit angle more than the well executed skits.

He's put out plenty of concept and theme projects. There's nothing wrong with him just dropping some piff IMO
:yeshrug:

Everything doesn't have to be a conceptual album.

It's not so much about concept and theme as about the songs being all over the place, as in a lot of songs feel like demo quality in terms of structuring and writing. But as I said, I need to give it a few more spins. I think that my expectations were unrealistic but idk yet.

He's not hungry anymore..

I mean Ive listened to dude since finally famous 2 and he has come a long way


but Dark Sky Paradise and I Decided/Detroit are his peak projects.

I'm actually replaying DSP right now
im on my second listen but this is way better than Detroit....

i don't think i'd put it on DSP/I Decided level though.

still one of the better albums i head this year, gonna give it a few more spins. i liked it better on second than first listen.
