wow. tears in the rain.

would trade jay rock's entire career from the start to his end for just a listen of jay electronica's album.
Dumbest shit I ever read. Jay electronica is a joke. Will always be a joke. Even after death.
 
Rock kept that struggle ass hook on 90059 I see.

And he never did drop a hard release date did he? That would be foul on Top Dawg's part to tease us and then keep on bullshittin

Game at his worst is pretty much Jay Rock when he's on. Jay Rock couldn't even make an LAX if he tried.

Jay Rock is pretty squarely in a bag with rappity rappers who can be really on point with the verses at times (<1 time a year) but struggle perpetually to make good songs. Dude needs to do a collabo EP with Chamillionaire or something to get his name up.

Jay Rock debut album can be compared to LAX. You're exaggerating right now.

Jay Rock is a boring ass artist that sounds amazing on features and great production where he doesn't have to come up with a concept himself or be forced to try and make the song himself ie structure the song or come up with an enticing hook. I always hoped this wasn't the case, but he's about as interesting and charismatic as Troy Ave. He'll never be the west coast version of Gibbs that everyone wants. Enzo wasn't even too off base about Follow Me Home, it's such a boring ass album and this new one doesn't seem to much more exciting judging by just how straightforward and vanilla all of the concepts are. Give Rashad the push he deserves and bench this old ass Charles Oakley equivalent.

for real though, people listening to that 90059 hook and going

"yeah his project might be decent"
"dude has potential IMO"
"damn, get ready, Rock could drop any time"
"man glad to see TDE letting Rock out the cage"

latest

I just ain't feeling those tracks as much as y'all. Like their solid 7 joints but nothing that's really got me fiending to hear a new full length from the guy. I ain't even gonna front like I'm not check it out eventually, but that shit already slated be on the back burner even if nothing drops in its window.

when hyperbole goes too far

nah this is fair
Follow Me Home was the definition of average I think it's more just TDE hype, warranted or not

Can't wait for Meek to post the Reh Dogg reference track for 90059.

Pretty much. Like, Rock's output isn't and never has been good enough to warrant I guess the favouritism he gets for shit that wouldn't have more than one person posting about it otherwise, let alone get excited about it. Which is fine, he's associated to a big name. But he also was when he dropped FMH. Also clearly the new music doesn't reflect the so called drastic change Rock supposedly was going through while sitting out.

A solid 7 is what I see him delivering actually. He has potential, and calling his features and production great while shitting on 1 project of his that came out 4 years ago isn't doing him justice.

If you're ceiling as an artist is a fucking 7 and you have an output that barely outpaces Jay Electronica don't expect me to ever be hyped on you. Also people calling for milder hyperbole don't understand the literary purpose of it. You wouldn't say something that's spicy is hot as a San Francisco afternoon.

Rating albums before they drop. Calling Jay "discount Push" Rock a "rappity rap rapper." TDE has got y'all by the cerebellum.

Not every album or artist has to change the game everytime.

It would be nice and all but it is not realistic and most dude just aren't capable and that's fine. I am all for having high standards but eventually that leaves you with a very small selection to choose from if all you look for it amazing classic records all the time. Jay Rock is a solid MC who has solid songs...thats ok.

that chorus is ass juice tho wtf

Yeah I mean, I don't like a Follow Me Home either actually. Like some of his features. But I'm just interested to see how the album comes together.

TDE somehow created pressure for a guy that didn't need it.

troy ave comparison is too much but the bolded...is this wrong? is it?!

follow me home is just about alright at best.
 

May be my favorite Future track has everything I like about him as a artist. Oh and I agree with Enzo & Des to some degree about Rock but I'm still looking forward to his album the songs he's released has been dope (except the 90059 the hook damn near ruins the whole song) so I want to see what he'll bring to the table now that he's been gone a while.

I'm just saying you can't pretend to be upset when somebody doesn't give whatever Soundcloud substar 14 album listens before moving on to the next one if you're shitting on an album in advance. That ain't having an open mind. The rules don't change because people have actually heard of Jay Rock. Maybe the record will suck, maybe it won't. But if you're already going into it with "this is going to be shit" in your mind, then of course you'll come back with half a dozen recycle bin .gifs.

He didn't.

He said no one should get hyped for for solid 7's.

Dealing in hype seems pretty worthless to me these days. It doesn't make the release any more special by trying to bring it into your library as some Savior album. Just let the music trickle and focus on what's out.

I feel you Des, when I do find something I like it's hard to even want to talk about it on gaf anymore. In terms of finding music I've ended up going to the source for a lot of things now too.

Will probably take a lengthy ban soon, there's just too much drama to wade through these days. Need some better way to keep up with y'all without talking the L of the day.

Just steer clear of the OT and you'll be fine....

I wish I could be banned just from that section lol
