you can tell who the real Q fans are. nikkas talking about resequencing the album. Have y'all listened to setbacks and H&C yet? My Q fans understand what I'm talking about. Go back and listen to his old albums. These are example of previous tracklist….

Gangsta & Soul has:
- Just 2 get by
- hands in the air
- groupie hoes

Setbacks has:
- druggys with hoes
- cycle
- to the beat

then H&C has:
- there he go
- hands on the wheel
- sex drive

:heh: all of these songs are one after the other.

man, dude was never a good rapper and if you're looking for that, you were going to be disappointed. dude admitted to only rapping 4 years ago so i wouldn't expect much out of him or for him to be good if he ever was.

i like the album. he doesn't take himself too seriously and the shyt is fukking enjoyable as hell. it's a party, out in the world type of record. it's NOT like kendrick lamar shyt where you can listen to that shyt and think. shyt is one of those let loose records where you play in the car, nod off and have a good time with. i'd give it a 4/5.

my favorite record from that shyt is oxymoron. GODDAMN, THAT RECORD IS fukkING SERIOUS AND ON REPEAT!!

@Big Mel

You've gone from "this album is bad" to "the album concept is dead" to "actually its tuff as fukk" to "my favorite shyt right now" in record time :dead:

The album concept is dead is just a stupid comment though. According to who? Since when has being real been a dead concept? fukk what's supposed to be hot right now.

You got there in the end though:youngsabo:

and Q said in a interview with hot97 that Kendrick does the ordering of his tracklisting... Those 3-4 tracks in the middle when it gos from break the bank to Man of the year is :blessed: to me...

After digesting this album properly, I'd say it's pretty good for his first mainstream album. The only song that I didn't really care for was Los Awesome and that was mainly because of the beat, other than that, the album is very consistent in terms of quality.

Standout tracks:
Gangsta
Hoover Street
Studio
Prescription/Oxymoron
The Purge
Man of the Year
Grooveline Pt.2 (even though Suga Free was doing some spoken word type shyt)

I give it 7/10

As it stands, Cilvia is the best TDE project of 2014 so far.

Break The Bank is Song Of The Year so far easily. video is reminsiscent of some ICe Cube in Boyz isht with more pschcadelic influences. probably a better song than anything that appeard on Good Kid.
