Album is a bit too much RNB/Hip Hop on first listen. But for the most part those songs hit. Could’ve use at least 2 more hard hitting or soulful rap tracks. As an emcee you got to remind nikkas about your pen. Nina/semiautomatic should’ve been the closer.

Only songs I’m not feeling right now are
Bryson Tiller joint
Debby
BGM only because Black Gold>>>>>

Yeah, the album is only 53 minutes but its so much slow/mid-tempo and heavy subject matter it feels like an album you have to break up and listen to in sections. Needed to swap out Black Bonnie and Pole dancer for an upbeat rappity rap song and probably close with Love me Nina or Set you Free

Need to give this another spin. Not feeling it on my first listen. There's a track here and there, but overall it doesn't grab your attention.

Durk talking about fukking on her period :hhh:

That’s the wave now
I get it, and its important. But half the songs start as something and end up as
"....I know my mental issues are stopping me from..."
"....I don't want sympathy but my anxiety issues...."
"....you're beautiful but getting close to me is dangerous with my bi-polar...."
"...its a perfect day until my mental issues tell me its dark..."
Like breh, calm down and have some fun :whoa:. With that being said, the song writing and music on here are insane though


Something like this would have been good on here to break up some of the somber mood.

Haven't listened to a full project by Wale in a while. It was decent if thats the space he's in, vibey R&B Rap, but I miss that Self Made-Ambition Wale :francis:
