EDDIE KANE HOOK

 

[SoulController]

Q still that dude

Oxymoron was a little bit of a slip, especially for the major debut, but this is sounding great

 

[jwinfield]

Dope on the first couple listens brehs. BUT can we talk about how watch this Lance Skiiwalker dude is? wtf

I'm assuming you meant wack.

I fukk with his part on Kno Ya Wrong and his song Could It Be.

Kendrick needs to hook him up with Thundercat so they can make some

Whatever U Want is Studio Pt. 2

Its not a bad song but I'll never listen to it again

 

[Da King]

First listen I'll give it 3-3.5 mic

Seeing this nikka live for his NYC show week, maybe I'll view the album in a better light after that

Album should have been 13-14 tracks, runs too long, that's the problem with so many rap albums

 

[g-ice]

Album is fantastic!

Everything is dope imo even though some songs could of been cut. Shows you how good it is when even the filler is good.

The guest features came through on this album. Jadakiss, Vince Staples, E -40, Anderson .Pakk

Top songs off one listen - Ride Out, Str8 Ballin', By Any Means, Tookie Knows II, and JoHn Muir

it's not completely wack but tyler always manages to put some goofy ass synth/hi-hat/snare/etc. on his beats as his signature and it's just like him to do that and be that "going way too far, doing way too much" nikka that he truly is. he always has to go overboard, whether it be his production or his lyrics.

So I listened to the album - it sounds great. Usually I can spot a Tyler beat pretty easily but this one did not sound sufficiently different from the rest of album to warrant well ... all this attention.

Tyler's a talented producer. If it does sound goofy (don't agree with this btw), then that is purely intentional. You should listen to his older songs - "b*stard", "Steak Sauce", ... etc - these tracks are pure satanic viciousness distilled into audio.

So which is worse brehs the Kanye verse or the Flab Soul verse

 

[root_eruditorium_org]

I fux with it too, shyt is dope as fukk to me

Its trendy to hate on Tyler or any of the former OF cats. Brehs can't give the guy a fair shake, mostly because he is of a "suburban" persuasion.

Guy gets a little too weird for me too but I respect his artistic integrity and willingness to always experiment.

 

[Exit9NJturnpike]

this shyt is dope. album of the year

 

[Golayitdown]

COPPED

Big Body isn't bad at all but Tyler can do better. I can fukk with it though
