A slow burn but good. Maybe will grow on me more. Like most posted here, not big on the singing but the messages are great

#LyricsMatter
PROS
  • Elite lyricism
  • Royce showed some range by trying his hand with harmonizing and different rhyme patterns.
  • Stand outs are Woke (Caterpiller, Cocaine, Boblo Boat, & Summer On Lock
  • Got the best out of J. Cole, Eminem, & Logic
CONS
  • Woke had no business being 1 min. 33 sec.
  • Skits had too much talking to not be put in lyric form instead.
  • Wanted more Boblo Beat type beats

Off first listen to the album I’m feeling it. Lot of personal shyt with the occasional barfest songs thrown in between. Some skits are easier to get through than others but all serve a purpose for the album.

Can’t rate yet bc I need to let it marinate to see if the replay value will be there. Idk why but my fave song off first listen was cocaine. Wasn’t even bar crazy just liked the whole vibe to it.
