Bummed this isn't on here

 

[Black Ball]

How this sounding? Is it a thorough must cop project? I love J-Rock as an emcee, he just doesn't always deliver on the music.

 

[MINT]

huge tde fan but this is a big disappointment

 

[Not Crodie]

hooks alone make this album a 5/10

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Just peeped that Road to Redemption video... It's dope. Happy to see they finally want that man Jay Rock to eat. Good idea on the format too, since he isn't really talkative, they had every member of TDE do the narration.

But more than anything else, this shyt left me wanting a Black Hippie project more than ever...

Yeah hooks were awful.

ES Tales, OSOM, Broke +-, Wow Freestyle are fukkin fire

Bloodiest, For What it's Worth, King's Dead are aiight

Rest is trash

Yeah I'm a tde fan, but i got to be honest. The hooks on certain songs are weak to me. Could be omitted them 4/6/8 bars on certain songs.

Did he add verses to King's Dead or is it exactly the same as we've heard before?

Nah It's the exact same track minus the Kendrick verse with the beat switch at the end

I knew they were going to do some dumbass shyt like that

 

[Piff Perkins]

How are the Cole and Kendrick features.

 

[ThisWorldAintRight]

Alright just finished listening. You can tell Rock is truly trying to "Win" with this one as the album is a lil more mainstream sounding.
Still breh managed to fit some dope shyt on here:

Win
The Bloodiest
For What It's Worth
ES Tales
OSOM
Troopers(mainstream sounding but dope)
Broke +-()
Redemption

Are all standouts. The rest is either average or wack(Knock It Off, Tap Out)

 

[areohbee824]

Album not a let down for me, still pretty good, a lot of good tracks on this, can't put it ahead of 90059 & Follow Me Home (too early). Wish that song in that snippet from 2016 was on this. Favorites so far:

Broke +-
OSOM
Redemption
ES Tales
For What It's Worth

Honorable mention: Wow Freestyle

Cole feature actually fit great IMO, one of my favorites off Redemption, Kendrick feature was good
