:wow: Perfect album for a tranquil, summer night. It's just got a different vibe. You can just throw it on and chill.

The tape doesn't try to be anything it's not, I got entirely what he was going for w/ the rapping. It's feet kicked back, chilling on the couch music. The verses are concise, albeit a bit superficial. Even though it has its fair share of average/weak tracks, the project isn't meant to be scrutinized so you can just take those out of rotation and it wouldn't hurt the flow of the album.

It's a shame though that he wasted all that production on a fukkin mixtape.

Those kicks on My Type of Party though

dude you stan EMINEM so of course you dislike good music.

*flicks ashes*

What's good about some nikka with no bars rapping monotone about practically nothing?

nikkas hyped this bullshyt up, and I had never really heard dude for a whole project before, i'm like yellow album

:lupe:

shyt was nothing to :lupe: about though....:laugh:

Now you got nikkas in here putting him in that "it was good for what it was category"....and what it was :ld:

My fault for buying into the hype I suppose. Maybe it was the whole color wheel album thing that made my expectations too high. This isn't to say it's horrible but it's some background noise. It's like an album that you can't actually listen to, you can let it ride while you not paying attention, doing your taxes or whatever, don't you dare try and pay attention to what he's saying, it will ruin it for you.

You know I wasn't really feeling all that much when it first dropped. I thought it was cool, but not as great as most peeps was feeling at the time. I threw that shyt on like 2 weeks ago for the hell of it, and I finally got it. It hit me like a cartoon idea light bulb, I was sitting there like:ohhh::lupe::blessed: I get it now. I must've played it through like 7 times straight. shyt was simple but brilliant.

THIS KILLED IT FOR ME. SON WAS TALKING. I HAD TO KINDA IGNORE HIM AND JUST LET THE SONG FLOW. I CAN'T SEE PLAYING THIS ANYWHERE BUT IN THE CAR WHEN I'M NOT REALLY PAYING ATTENTION.
