Wild thing is I love the crypto song. But..... I also have a Crypto wallet, a business owner and a portfolio. I really think it hits people who can relate. Young cats I figured would feel this track atleast for that. Not getting or feeling graffiti, female MCs, or Young kings I can see for those who just can not relate.

I actually like this better than his last releases. Im shocked honestly that cats dont like this. Id need an age and experience check for any listener for this piece. No shade but it's not for everyone. No way to get it unless you get it...

Same, I didn’t like the hit boy albums apart from certain tracks on each project. This is a much more cohesive album to me .

someone help me out... Where did I hear the "shine together" beat first? I swear Primo used it as a skit somewhere. Since Friday I've been trying to figure it out what album he used this as a skit on.

Dunno if he’s used it before, but these are other times I’ve heard it:

At some of these nyggas. “This is my 78th time listening to the album. It’s starting to sound decent now.”

nikkas legit brainwashing themselves willingly

But it's expected. I remember how nikkas convinced themselves that "Jarreau of Rap" was heat

 

[Why-Fi]

these children on social media thinking they can school somebody on how to listen to something just because ppl don't like the album
