Saba A Few Good Things Album

[MischievousMonkey]

This is amazing. I need more listens but so far...

Yeah, he got it. Beautiful message, concept and lyrics. Flows and energy on point too.

Some songs definitely feel too short but that just shows how good they are.

brother so good and don't get no burn

but people wanna act like rap sounds unbalanced because of labels. it's because of fans

 

[THE 101]

How is this not sticky'd?

 

[Izanami]

Album in rotation. It’s very smooth and a bit euphoric like how the sun illuminates the neighborhood after a blizzard. The way the songs blend with each other is seamless. He displays an array of flows and cadence that impressive but comes off effortless. Best album I’ve heard in 2022 thus far.

 

[DapMeUp!]

The title track Black Thought is such an effortless MC, complimented it perfectly.

Had this in rotation all week. Still not sure if I'm putting it over Bucket List Project which just hit different for me at the time. "Stoney" has to be one of my most listened to songs over the last 5 years. The Krazyie Bone track is my standout and the perfect collab I wouldn't have thought of lol. Also props to him for featuring Mareba on this, she's dope and deserves the love.

The transition from 2012 and A Few Good Things is

 

[LevelUp]

I know he has had songs with a similar cadence and flow before, but I'm hearing a lot of 3000 influence in some of the songs.

Solid listen first time around will take it in a couple more times over the week

Thought so too.
Ran this back yesterday evening

Survivors guilt is probably my favourite song in a minute. Whole damn album is great and features all hit. This doesn't get much attention but a thread about Isaiah Rashad's sexuality gets 19 pages. Tells you the state of the booth musically.

They stickies Da Baby’s bowling lane brawl over this. Scust

As a Saba fan this ain't really hitting to me outside of a handful of tracks, not on par with The Bucket List Project or Care For Me

 

[steadyrighteous]

Black Thought absolutely bodied his verse on the closer.

After more listening, I'm only feeling about half of it, and most of that is on the second half of the album.

But it's not bad, because even the stuff I don't really like is still good. His ceiling is super high, but his floor isn't very low so the "weak" shyt is still OK.

Bout to give this some run
