this gimp masked batty boy bounced back with this one.. this is really good.

its clear that Cooks needs someone with a vision behind him. whether its Roc or now Gunn.
because anything I've heard of him on his own and features he sounds corny and annoying.

What’s up with this weirdos hitler obsession?
anything for clout


idk man I was on griselda early but theres so many projects they drop now and with all similar sounds and content I think ive sort of wore out of them. Westside is also so much worse of a rapper than benny or conway I just dont enjoy it anymore:manny:

yall still coming in the thread crying about the title :gucci:

but I did notice it dropped off when the music dropped and no one can deny how good it is :sas2:
fukk it, I'll bite.

There are other people like myself that find the title to be tacky and edgy for the sake of being edgy (and maybe even a bit pretentious) but if the music is dope then it's dope and at the end of the day that's what we care about more.
:manny:
Also there was no single leading up to this, nor was there a tracklist. So literally the only thing to talk about besides speculating what features/production it might have was the title.

And one last thing. This is the only Hermes volume to have an extra subtitle/tagline. I do think more people commented on this one because it was Sincerely Adolph following the #8. Sincerely Adolph understandably makes it seem like more obsessed than just leaving it a numbered title in the series.

yea I understand everything you said & appreciate that you fully wrote out your problem, and from your previous posts, I can tell this is a genuine response. Others, I'm more likely to believe their beef is more with Gunn rather than a title considering some of the things I'm sure their favorite rappers have said and done.

I personally have always given artists room to "experiment" and also have never been one to get offended by choices they make with their art...I either fukk with or don't, but get offended by it...not really. I didn't get mad at Nas for "N*****" or some of the stuff in the Boondocks, or Spike Lee for Bamboozled or Tarantino for Django or any other movie. I try to understand where the artist is coming from even if I don't agree with the method.

Ultimately, West is the only one who'll have to deal with the fallout for these titles.

Stove God seems to be official too. I just hope West bought him out from Busta. That man did nothing to further his career:hhh:

The irony that his best look so far was linking up with Roc who also left Busta.

Jay Worthy makes cool vibe music like Dom or Curren$y but I can't get past him saying nikka.

He’s outta this world for these two verses on the project. I heard draymond and was like :dwillhuh:then peri peri came on and I was like nah I gotta look up this dude

Initially I don’t think he was credited on Draymond I heard his verse and was “who the hell is this?” Dude spazzed I’m like I need to listen to death and the magician ASAP.

This is up there with Pray For Paris for me which I felt was the best Griselda project in 2020. Again WSG deliveres and for me this is the best Griselda album of 2021. With no daringer and Alc beats this is still hard. Fall/winter is coming. These joints about to kill the seasons.
:blessed:

Yea this is one of the best releases of this year but my top 5 is hard to crack but this has potential. All the features killed their guest spots. Stove God has the best confidence and personality on these tracks. Dude just shines. Rome Streetz had my favorite guest spots tho. Dude reminds me of Big L in his delivery I’m sold.

Margelia split toes sounds like it should’ve been on pray for Haiti. :banderas:

The back and forth on Spoonz:scust:




What a year:whew:
