WOW!! this tape is too west.. Dom definitely solidified his lane as a steezy westcoast rapper.

after the first listen, the stand out tracks to me are:
- come over
- she aint in love
- platinum chanel
- i love dom
- mr champagne intermission
- 2mph
- graduate

DAMN DOM DONE DID IT AGAIN!!!

[jj1223]

[kicksboywonder]

For those of you asking if you can burn from itunes, Yes you can.
Just create a playlist and name it the title of the cd, select all songs from the cd, drag it into the playlist, make sure you have a blank cd in your disc drive, right click the playlist and select "burn playlist to disc" and there ya go!

Gonna give it a spin tomorrow

 

[naija nitemare]

Anyone else getting a 2Pac esque vibe on When I Come Around, like Pre-Death Row 2Pac?

 

[timbo109]

I copped on itunes. I have to say I'm disappointed with the project, which is more a product of the high hopes I had for it as well as my personal preferences in content than its overall quality. Musically, the production is on point and I appreciate the diversity of flows and deliveries that Dom adopts.

However, I thought the album relied too heavily on the girls+money+materialism combination. I think that certainly has a place in things and maybe that's Dom's style. I'm willing to listen to a few of those sorts of songs, but the album had too much of that in my opinion. I felt like it was 1 hour of someone else bragging in such a way that it wasn't possible to identify with it. Maybe, I'm just growing out of that style of hip hop


High points for me were "Dom's Prayer," "Grind'n," and I liked "Beats, **@%, and Rhymes" mainly because Schoolboy's verse (not one of his best, but it was interesting to here in this context)

 

[haiti5]

its a good 3 tracks i like...not feelin it at all...maybe it will grow on me *shrug

hell no...Dom really has his own sound

As dumb as it sounds and it wont happen...Dude should really re-release FS/DS as an album

..its his best overall work..from flow to delivery to content and subject matter..it was such a balanced project.

I feel the same way, maybe I'm being more critical since it's being marketed as a "album" and I actually paid for it.
Their was really no substance, it seems like he switches his flows up to disguise the fact that he's not talking about s###
I don't expect Dom to be Common or Mos Def......
But to me an album should have a lil bit of everything and this seemed real one sided focusing on the content dude above said....

It's not bad though, alot of

moments, not enough

moments....

 

[haiti5]

THIS. BTW, where have you been?

tryin not to get shot on the southside of chicago

Listened to it while at the gym and liked enough to cop it when I went home. Nothing too crazy but it's some good chill music to bump when burning or unwinding.

 

[reeceman10]

Original Dom Kennedy/FTWWL1 > FTWWL2.

I has disappoint. Songs have that nice pickup in the beginning, head bopping, then I am let down. Repeat for more then half the tracks.

 

[dacomeup]

Dope. Copped early today.

Not trying to compare it to his other projects because I feel like all of Dom's joints are very different.

Really feeling the production on this joint too.

And suprisingly, Dom even got good verses from Asher Roth and Casey Veggies.

 

[shaze804]

yall wild...people was saying "all he talk about is girls,. etc " when the first westside came out...what yall expect pt2 to be about...

 

[vezon]

200 times better than OGDK.

Dom is back.

 

[henz0]

I'm VERY happy for my dude making all of this progress

With that said, I like OGDK better than this.. I always like his verses (we on the same wave), the beats not so much for the most part on this one.

I cant get into Casey at all


She aint in Love & Platinum Chanel were the best to me after 1st listen
