His lyrics never seem to hit very hard, but I do like some of the songs and production, it just didn't grab me. My sister was playing this driving around Bay Area with me last week, she loves it, and his last one, I couldn't connect.

I don't understand the Yeezus comparison at all.Its not in the same vein of Atrocity Exhibition either.Those are lazy comparisons (Especially Yeezus) If anything this reminds me of a male version of "Broke With Expensive Taste" .

Props to the young nikka for taking a musical risk.My 2nd favorite album behind Damn.

A Radio Station on Apple Music: June 2017: Vol. 2

In the last hr of this episode the producers explain the creative process behind each track.
Do you know how can I access this? I don't see it in my itunes app. Does it require apple music?

Vince admitted that he made this album mainly for his audience at shows.

So there you go...
He also broke down how black culture has ties to electronic music in his interviews. Especially in LA with dudes like Arabian Prince and etc, and how this album is inspired by that because that's what he enjoys to listen to.

Came in for the Kendrick track, he tried to save the track and he rode the beat nice but it was brutal getting there. I never really got the Vince hype. He's supposed to be lyrical but the majority of his tracks aren't lyrical, then he will have these overbearing beats that sound almost like El-P beats, weird enough not to be party beats, but not calm enough for his rapping to take over. I don't get it, someone explain his style to me cuz I want to like him but I can't. :francis:

And I tuned in for the last 3 projects so maybe I'll never get it. :mjcry:
Have you heard Summer 06 or Shyne Coldchain 2?
