think the problem is that it doesn't feel like a statement, and ppl always be mistaking statement pieces for classics etc, so ppl instantly think its underwhelming. personally think there are a couple of joints that stand as some of the best things he's ever released. think there is generally a greater clarity to his thoughts here-less addled-he seems better able to put words to the emotions. stylistically its almost a summary of the post pluto narrative arc that he been selling-a culmination, victory (or not in fewtch's case) lap, mop up? think its more a stepping stone to new ground but still stands well alone imo.

Future does not rap well enough bar to bar to hold your attention.
After getting an injection from the ear drummas sounding writing and change of his song format.
Once he already did well in that frame,...
The next project needed to show a leap in lyricism and future never really had a leap in lyricism that felt organic.
As this whole genre is about, basically emulating the past great southen staple gangsta rap work.
That rocked the ATL skating party community
Then, making an autotune version of it.
Along with a tweaked biter based vocal submission altered by autotune.
All , so it is not discernible to most noob ears who may tune in.

If it bumps for you, it bumps. If it doesn't, it doesn't. :yeshrug: There is nothing wrong with criticism, we're all entitled opinions but there are some people who want to feel special for going against the grain of what's popular.

Bumping 'Bye Bye' right now though. :lawd:
