Open Letter is cool. The first half of the album is forgettable. We will see if I get through the rest

When you listen to a couple tracks and then "turn it off and listen to the rest tomorrow" you know it's boo boo
Nah, it was 1am

Gates delivered.
One subjective criticism is that it’s 18 tracks of just him; no features. I’m not a fan of artists doing that. A feature here and there breaks up any monotonous feeling a person gets when they listen to an album. A featured verse, a chorus, something.
But I understand why he’d take this approach since this is his first full length project after being locked up.
Outside of that throne in my side, the joint goes. A couple skippable tracks, but that’s to be expected when you have 18 songs. On my first 3 listens I’m impressed and I’m standing by the whole “Gates is in the top 3 acts out right now” thing.
Cats sitting through an hour of C5 might as well give Gates a full listen. Willing to bet they’d enjoy it.

Can’t be broken , Mona Lisa and let it all work out my top 3.
Him talking about the attempted suicide over the sampha loop

This Gangin II is a disappointment
And how to they label make money off them with all the samples they use? I swear I heard a Marvin Gaye sample on here
Empire kinda let _’s do whatever sometimes lol
Jay Worthy (LNDN DRGS) be rapping over whole *** soul/funk songs with minimal transformation. Literally just a looped portion of the song with like 1 sound added in
The truth is they really just coming for the Kanye's etc. Major _'s. A lot of other ppl just slip by. Unless you just end up with a hit or something but at that point its kinda a good problem to have in a way.

So can we say that Birdman was doing Wayne a favor by keeping the Carter 5 locked away?

I'm not counting Kodak out yet man, Keef went through basically the same **** and stumbled on a whole new sound in the process. A sound that inspired a whole generation of young _'s up under him like Carti etc

Mona Lisa is worth listening to thanks to Kendrick Lamar.

No ********, I appreciate this. I’m still gonna suffer through it tonight, but this kept me entertained at work this morning, and now I won’t go into it expecting anything. Knew son was washed when he was out here with the baldie/dreads combo.
