    Wow I never thought it would come out. Takes me back to the days of listening to his steady supply of mixtapes on datpiff.

      I know! I loved my first listen and I'm going to be coming back to it but I'm mostly just excited about it even releasing in the first place.

        I couldn't sleep last night and listened to it all. my thoughts are that it's waaaaaaay too long. An hour and a half is absurd. But at the same time, I didn't think there were any terrible songs....

        my thoughts are that it's waaaaaaay too long. An hour and a half is absurd. But at the same time, I didn't think there were any terrible songs. Some felt similar enough that I thought I might have it on repeat.

        The quality of his lyrics was surprisingly high. I fully expected another pussy-eating fest. There's plenty of wayne-esque filler nonsense, and also some songs that I think might his most introspective and personal that I've heard from him.

        Overall I think it's pretty good. Beat selection is great, flow and lyrics kept me interested. It feels like a weezy album but modern enough to not be stuck in 2008. Much better than I expected.

          Nearly every album in the genre could benefit by staying in the 45 minute - 1 hour range, imo. I fell asleep about 2/3 through, but I could already tell that this is album would be immensely...

          You're right in the quality of his lyrics, I was pretty impressed with some of the tunes. I had low expectations as well, but didn't expect to enjoy some of the tunes I heard nearly as much as I did. I can't rate it yet, but the album is worthy of interest.
