Im in
am down for this
All right, so when would be a good time for everyone and what is the official release date for the album. I don't even have it yet by the way so that'll need to happen too.
my schedule varys like heck weekdays never free for more than 2 hours straight for the most part and even them its between 6-8 , on the weekends same thing , i bounce around too much between that
but if yall come together with a good schedule i can see what i do
so is this going to be like a listening session type deal?
Sign me up

see once you realize that there are fans of his music and not him, youll realize why those people want specific type of music from him.
like personally, Im not interested in his mainstream stuff at all. I wanted some of that escape route/mm4.5 stuff

Listening to this now, I see where @Roxx the King and @Billy Ocean are coming from.
The lyrics aren't bad at all, but you can tell this is an album that with a bigger budget, you already know would be on it. I'm listening to Tell Him Somethin thinking "Trey Songz was too busy huh?"
This album drags near the end and you can mix this with some of those songs from A Loose Quarter and get a better cohesive project.

I agree to a certain point. Escape Route is arguably the best Budden project in my eyes (minus the sound quality), I too prefer the "mood muzik" Budden. But I just knew that wasn't realistic this time around so I didn't have those expectations. But I think he had enough stuff on here that catered to that fanbase. Dude is basically a mainstream rapper these days in terms of Twitter following, being signed to Em, having a TV show, etc. so I knew going in that it was gonna be a more mainstream album. Especially when I heard Loose Quarter and songs like More of Me, Momma Said, etc. were on there. Because those songs were certainly album quality (and up to par with anything on NLL) but he probably just recorded too many emo tracks and couldn't put them all on the album.
So is this vintage Budden in terms of 15 straight tracks of introspective rap? Nah. But as much as I would love to hear that, you and I are in the minority in terms of preferring to hear that for an entire project, so he had to tone it down and cater to the masses. I think he did a good job with the versatility. There's something on here for everyone.
The double standards are something else though, man. Budden makes "NBA" or "Top Of The World" and he's forcing it and selling out with commercial garbage, but Life Is Good had shyt like Summer On Smash and Reach Out and people still were calling it a classic and shyt. The "Album of 2012" according to most on here had shyt like Bye Baby and Cherry Wine (both great songs), but when Budden has songs about girls it's "awwww man, Budden had like 3 girl songs, fukk that, this is wack".

oh no doubt, but thats more because nas stans are often actually nas stans and like all of his music just because its him, not the music itself...
