Dave East - Kairi Chanel (Discussion Thread)
- Thread starter Deltron
- Start date
He just signed to Def Jam. Which means bigger budget, better features, access to top of the line production and promotion.
Of course he'd want his official debut to reflect this

He had game fab and a few other me on the Album, it's all original music. Like at this point his actual debut is going to be his second album.
I love free music but I think these artists oversaturate the market with all of these original mix tapes. We need to get back to mixtape being freestyles and remixes
With all that being said this is my first time ever listening to this dude and I am impressed he is better than I thought
2 Chainz >>>> Dave East
why is this not a album? i really don't understand this shyt ever. niqqas be having all new music but its a mixtape. i can't tell what is the difference between a mixtape and a album anymore
I thought it was too. They don't even say there shyt is a mistake half the time. You don't no what the shyt is.

So basically this is a street album.
FruitOfTheVale
Superstar
I gave this a listen to see if he expanded his content at all... Ironically he addressed that on the 1st song ("You ain't trapping no more, stop making drug records / you got a daughter bout to come, stop making thug records") but didn't do much of anything to change it. shyt was boring and repetitive tbr, only felt a few songs:
It Was Written
Can't Ignore
Don't Shoot
Keisha
And the only reason I felt Can't Ignore was 2Chainz's verse. Keisha was cool if only to hear what he would do with a storytelling track but like another poster said the story itself was drawn out with no pay-off. The story literally amounted to him calling his folks in Queens to do a background check on a bytch who ends up jacking him when he's vulnerable anyway
Don't Shoot had the best concept on the album by far, it was cool how he used a pitch shift to represent him growing up and his growing hate for the police, it was literally the only standout song on here that stood out because of what Dave East did with it. It Was Written had a great beat and East wasn't bad on it but he didn't make anything that memorable either which is really the problem with the whole album. Don't Shoot is the only song I'm gonna remember from this project period

Just said this...dude got washed by EVERY feature on here...and you call tell cause when you compare him to Cam's verse, you can see that Cam really lives this shyt.I gave this a listen to see if he expanded his content at all...
