Albums Joey Badass - Lonely At The Top (Discussion Thread)

[MINT]

No wonder the label didn't want to release this shyt lol. Even as a mixtape this is underwhelming as fukk.

He was crying about the label shelving his project but what he saw as censoring and shelving was actually quality control.

If all the songs on this album was similar in tone to BKs finest I would have rated it a 5/5.

I don't like albums where there is not a central theme throughout most of the songs. I would have love to hear more about why he feels it's lonely at the top or his life in general. He should really lock in with one producer too.

Highlights of the album
BK's Finest
SPEEDING THROUGH THE RAIN
LONELY AT THE TOP
DARK AURA

Everything else is mid, and where is ABK???

You all are either not black or so use to listen to trash ass music for so long you're ears are corrupted.

Ya'll expect everything to sound the same. You wanna twerk or break down disses. That's it.

If Kendrick used the exact same beats for GNX, you all would be saying this is a classic.

Nah we would not be saying that
The syncopation on these beats are totally off to begin with...........thats not even a question of taste

Exactly my thoughts, there's like 4 good songs and thats it.

The problem is New York hasn't had it's own sound for so long that it seems foreign. This sounds like a vintage NYC album.

Thought this would be better. There's songs on here but overall it fell short

 

[Nostalgic]

Highroller is so good then it ends with that ass ferg verse.

The mixing of that song is bad and yeah Ferg's verse was bad.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

King of the NY and the West Coast tho right?

 

[Zero]

shyt weirt

 

[tweezy]

I had low expectations and he still failed to meet them

If Kendrick used these beats on GNX, Drake would still be on top.

There's no such thing as "people don't like the beats because they're typical NY beats".

Nah, the production is just not good lol. And the mixing sounds like it was done in a garage.

Yep this is a perfect example of a rapper that NEEDS a team and a label to tell him whats good and whats not.
