u harsh as hell, but i can't fully disagree. but if rick ross can make a career off having hard ass beats, why can't he? (i acknowledge that ross has a hook game that tiller can't fk wit)

and come on. 6lack? what does he have that hits like exchange and don't?

Ross at least has tracks like tears of joy, idols, Scientology. Tiller is a terrible singer, songwriter, etc. He's not charismatic or interesting in the least. Literally nothing is redeemable outside production. The 6lack part is just basically these labels can sign the next generic harmonizer/rapper over 808 so there's nothing special about Tiller especially if his music continues to be mediocre

What other themes Drake hits on...that's literally all he talks about...

He don't got no political songs, he don't got social commentary songs, he don't got concept songs...he literally raps about the same 4 things...

Only difference is, he'll put it in different formats...

What's the difference between Energy and Fake Love...

What's the difference between PassionFruit and Marvin's Room ...

What's the difference between 0 to 100 and Free Smoke...

Never thought about it. Great point out

Ross isn't carried by production. Tho he has an ear, he can actually rap. This dude can't rap or sing especially well. Again, I'm late to the party so I'm probably missing something.

Chill it's far from trash. Maybe a little underwhelming on the first play but I got to sit with it some more. It's still alright imo with some dope songs and some that are just not all that to me but as a whole it's far from trash.
I agree, Listening again now, I'm enjoying it. Definitely a nice late night vibe to it, he did his thing

Bryson producers always use the same samples as other. You got uses the same sample as a kendrick song lol.

Edit: It's actually from a loopmasters sample pack.

I guess these sample packs do end up being used in big time productions..wow.


what song uses loopmaster sample?

Solid 3.8/5. If he a great producer by his side coaching him on songwriting and delivery it could have gone down as a great album. Good effort nonetheless.
