Albums Pop Smoke - Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon (Discussion Thread)

[iseetrolledpeople]

Sucks my boy ain’t get to see these numbers while alive

Album is not as good as the first two classics but it works more than it doesn’t

I really think that if he was alive and being able to promote it, do concerts, clown and joke in interviews he would've sold more.

Him and Nip made me hate Cali fr. Irony is that if Nip was alive I am certain Pop would be safe now.

R.I.P. to Nip and Pop Smoke!

50 telling everybody to cut the drama surrounding Pop's album.

Dope album. Seeing people complain about the features only to see that he approved of damn near all of them was some funny shyt. 1st half was much stronger than the 2nd imo. Maybe because the 2nd song had a lot more of the experimental and R&B shyt. I get it though. Back when he dropped his first tape a lot of people said he was making the same song over and over so to see the growth and direction he was taking his style is dope to see.

I think Snitching might be my favorite song off this one. Don't know why people were hating on Quavo when this dropped I thought he killed his verses. Him and Pop had crazy chemistry. Dude soaked up a lot of game from him and Travis and really stepped his shyt up when he was on tracks with them. He wasn't content with being just a drill rapper and really wanted to perfect his craft.

Aim for the Moon
For the Night
Gangstas
Creature
Snitching
Make It Rain
Got it On Me
Tunnel Vision

My highlights from the album^. I give it an 8/10. Real solid debut. Still think MTW2 is his best project though. I bump that shyt damn near every day. Favorite project of 2020.

Haven't heard this album yet but I hear it playing out of cars on the street. I haven't heard people playing the same album out of cars since forever. this took me back

shyt is probably true. Butterfly effect type shyt.

Damn brehs I been playing his album non-stop. shyt really hurts. Just moving around BK the last few months you could see how well loved this dude was. Genuine love for this young man all over the hoods.

If I tell you ooooonce, won't tell you twice

I can't know for sure but from all the post of "business insiders" I've read all around the web after his passing, Nip was that dude when in came to being safe on the west coast as a outside rapper.

This album is really growing on me

I really feel 50 should have been on “Got It On Me.” That would have been a passing of the torch moment

I wasn’t a fan of his previous projects cause I felt they all sounded the same. But with this one I can hear what he was trying to do.

This shyt reminds me of MJ’s “Xscape” album. The music is great, it’s just sad because he isn’t here to promote the album properly..

If the pandemic wasn’t going on and he was still alive. I’m a full believer this album would have been the album of the summer. Would have had the same effect YG’s “My Krazy Life” had back in 2014 in my opinion.

Damn shame

I just played this all the way through.

Had a little cry

Quality production, engineering, well thought out features (why was Quavo on there so much? Lol) I like that Lil T’jay cat.

Pop reminds me so much of Fif; voice, energy, apathy. I genuinely thought he was him on Got It On Me - both their surname’s are Jackson too.

I remember the effect GRODT had on the people; it was so organic and that ain't something the suits can create. The people have to love you first.

Fif had it, Pop had next.

I hope he loves how his album turned out, I just streamed Dior for the 3rd time

R.I.P. brotha

He had more than 50 because he liked to joke around more, less serious. He was about to put hip hop where 50 left it no doubt.
