granted, I've only listened to it once yesterday but...I don't know what the fukk yous are listening to because this shyt is flames.
take that run of songs with Kehlani, Ferg and Moneybagg Yo away and its good money top to bottom.

it does have a little Baby and a big Durk cosplay to it but its better than their collab album.

people with the 100 emoji and TMC/the racing flag in their twitter/IG bios, scammers, hookah smokers and bottle bytches in NY are going to love this shyt.
“Take this away, take that away, and that away and it’s a good album” :gucci: how about NO. This is just ass music. Why do dudes say shyt like this?

Nah this shyt mid nobody is playing this shyt in NY and that’s not how it is usually when Meek drop

Projected 90K first week…the album is generic as hell not bad background music but a huge downgrade from his last

Edit: don’t get the hate for the Kehlani joint that might be the one to catch on

Tweaking is like a perfect example of my view on Meek. Dope beat, hook isn't bad...then he starts rapping and you immediately realize you can think of 10 dudes off the top of your head who could have murdered that shyt. He just exists on this album. Nothing feels authentic. A mixture of wave chasing and rapping over samples old heads can recognize.

Haven’t listened yet but does he address MMG at all?

He doesn't address much of anything. This feels like a mixtape to me, tbh. There is no narrative (which is fine, every album doesn't need one), subject matter revolves around talking shyt/bragging and some "I'm so rich it hurts" talk. With some traditional Meek shyt about the struggles of the past. But overall you learn nothing about the man listening to this, and every track could have been released years ago and you wouldn't know it.

This is the guy we were told was an important figure for criminal justice yet the album doesn't really dwell on that, at all. No MMG/Ross talk. No Drake talk. No Nicki talk. Nothing. This dude just sucks.

This the reason i stopped fukking with Fab like that. This thotty music trend east coast rappers are on aint it.

Meek was spitting on his last two albums so nikkas cant say this album sound like his last two.

Good mention here, this album does have some of that ‘Trappy New Year” shyt on there :hhh:

its still a good album, I said take away three songs and you have a great one from start to finish.
I'm not making that big of stretch to make something better than it is.

Meek albums usually need a lot of trimming of the fat.
