I feel like crash talk was a rehash of the good moments on this. Idk how to explain it
Tales, Dangerous, and Black Folk were evidently inspired or derivative if thats the right word.

Q had a project he made after Blank Face that he scrapped because it was too similar

He scrapped like 3 albums before making CrasH Talk. For many reasons. Way more than the ticket sales reason. He's in a better headspace now than he was in 2016

Hopefully he finds a healthy balance with his next joint

This album has to be the booths favorite album. nikkas in the booth really love this album. I’ve always liked it but not loved it
If he didn't have Overtime on it, it would be a masterpiece with no skips

Overtime is what he forced for radio. I remember him saying I think at a Groovy Tony Pit Stop pre-tour that he was "going back to making hits" after Blank Face

This album was unapologetically street. The last West Coast Gangsta Rap classic imo

It feels so out of place too :heh:

Kills the momentum. Especially coming between the title track and tookie knows pt 2

I get it was the radio friendly song, but it literally was just thrown in the track listing :mjlol:

Tookie Knows make you wanna grab a blue rag for real 😂 as a writer you just love how they was spitting on this shyt. The deliveries were all fire. The lyrics all fire. The beat. What a story the album is.


Crash talk really is a part two or second chapter of the series from the art to the title. Crash talk, crashing out/money

Blank face is the same. Doing dirt and having the blank face about it. Them folks on the money got the blank face
