Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
Hollywood and Been Around The World....:whew::whew:....



Best track on the album... and contender for one of my favorite R&B joints, if not SONGS of the year.


Once the weather gets better around here.... gonna have that shiit blasting in Alki with moderate to no fukks given.



That song is ssoooo fukkin' gorgeous fam.


That Puffy Remix sample is out of this world. Milky Way.

This a serious question? It's because album & all the singles that were released from it flopped hard.

Def Jam threw him in the bushes & put his album on VEVO for free... he was pretty pissed...

That explains why it didn't SELL well. All I ever hear on here is Good music will always get noticed. He had great music on this album. I do think it comes down to not being littered with "ratchet" friendly songs.

I'm guessing peoples first impression was his ratchet music & never cared to check him out again. He has a lot of substance in his music...

possibly?





So many times posters complain about an artist just dropping "club" records. Fam literally dropped an R&B for grown folks that also has a message
:salute: The homie cuz he could of took the album a whole different direction
@Milk N Cookies @Giselle @jadillac @Silkk yall check it yet?


He's one artist who should have dropped a club record and more hood ballads

I like the project but his core audience probably didn't

Agreed I do feel atleast one club record to have them atleast give the album a chance may have worked.
