You have to be a hardcore Wayne fan to truly appreciate this album

I’m only 11 songs in but so far only the Kendrick song sounds good to me. I had to skip the intro, just wasn’t feeling the vibe. The next song was trash. This is sounding like it’s his revival. You have to be a true Wayne fan fiending for new material to like this.

Do yall really like this ? Lol... this shyt makes the carter 3 sound like the chronic... i knew hip hop had taken a bad turn when as a high school senior i hated the carter 3 and thats all u ever heard in the halls, after school, playin ball, chillin... this album here tho is beyond bad... me and my girl and my friend were tryin to drive to it, this aint ridin music... we legitamately thought that we had tracks repeating but its just these days songs have all the same fukking sounds. That heavy fake bass wack drums with fast hi hats... dude is all sing songy on every track and straight up singing on some faggy love ballad shyt on some of them... there is no crazy production here... the melodies are weak... wayne sounds old as fukk. Like he could pass out or die from rapping. This is not good music. At least carter 3 had melodies i could fukk with.... dont force yourselves to like this... it sounds really cheap. How hard is it to exec produce an album... like damn i know if something sounds garbage... why dont these rappers and producers know?

First listen it really just sounds like a bunch of, well, nothing, without a theme. Hes spitting but this thing was probably butchered from the start but I'll try again.

But that last track touched me. He has a way with vignettes

But for most of the album, how small was this budget?!?!?

I wanna hear something recorded after 2014, and I give him the benefit of the doubt because D6 was insane

Album is okay but feels more like a compilation album. It doesn't come close to Carter 1-3. Don't know if I like it better than 4 or not so far but probably since I think C4 is trash.

Starkset...
it’s cool off first listen. After a few days and a few spins think it will probably feel like an above average Weezy product. That Swizz special delivery knock off track is TRASH though. Can’t even Harlem shake right to that shyt...

This sounds cool so far. Only complaint is that it kinda sounds cheap. But waynes performance is making it good
