This is decent, looks like Kevin's still gon be spittin on the album. The singles been decent so far, Really Really and this are solid. It does sound a little watered down compared to his mixtape material but maybe it's just the singles. Hopefully he cuts the filler and the label doesn't force him to have 10 songs for the bytches... That's never been his lane anyway.

I don't know how they are gonna spin his pr.
I guess he will be their secret writing pool weapon.
Where, how they play him is.
he had traction and fukked it up in his own pr campaign.
So, they will be using the pr run from his bad comments and pr content and direction.
as fuel for why he is always not in the best drawing light pop wise.

Personally, he is talented and if he had the image and no self marketed bad pr.
They could have used him.
to phase out some one like Flo ridah.

As the pop go to artist as a full blown thing.
Yet, since Flo has bullet proof no real issue pr.
I don't see him getting that slot.

Would I like if his brand of lyricisim became the go to pop template since I know they are going to bite,...i can say yeah.
For this day and era and it already kinda is.
If you know the full skinny, and realize there are no coincidences jn this life.
It is just his pr is so damn repulsive and despicable.
That he has no real wiggle room trying to play a horrorcore card.
As an excuse for his comments in his own self marketed pr base.

Past that, he is good, for a double time rapper with the whole new edition Xmas all around the world smoke and ride steez.
Any bone and twista double time snypaz type need to have.
Yet, and still it is a twenty year removed formula with no new bells and whistles.
Since new edition Xmas all around the world.
which is the template for double time smoke and ride songs.
Plus, genre or song type that has been fully b*stardiZed and now re-b*stardized past no possible evolution.
So, trying to make it the go to pop template is going to errode and hurt all of rap as a genre moving forward.
Which is inevitable and will just follow suit and lose its appeal.
Just like it did to gateway fans from 93-96, twenty years ago.

Bro bouuta go brazy on his new shyt


He just might, he has three excellent biter based double time verses on this.
That hit all the x's and o's of what people in the genre classify as the type of verses they wanna hear.

He is real good at emulating all the hof bone, twists, mister magic, double time flows.
