I think the steam greenlight ass release ruined the hype for the album to be honest. Shit should have been released a month ago.

Heard a couple minutes of Vice City...not feeling it. I'll acquire the album tonight and see what's up.
Dat bassline...
Probably. I also started to get a bad vibe when he put out the title track. I was more excited after just hearing Money Trees Deuce and Gumbo.
that beat sounded magnificent
I wish they came out with a compilation of all the beats dudes made on this show
the new Sprite format blows though, I have to open the Shazam app on my phone to try and figure out what records he's using and shit
Exactly. I thought Rock was going towards a laid back jazzy approach like Kenny. It would have work for dude since those two tracks shit on the title track.
Smh I'm also sadden at the fact that the SZA track was so short
Dude I would drop money on that shit. Lawd, some of those beats were so good except whatever the fuck Skywlkr made (I blame it on the weed). Yeah, the Sprite sponsor needs to go. I know it's probably for a short time, but seeing Mannie Fresh cooking up a basic ass beat in that fake setting pains me :/.
Just was probably the best out of the producers that did the Sprite segments. Exile was alright, but he could have done a little bit more. Georgia was wack as hell skimming through the fucking record and picking the most meh samples for that average ass beat.

In an interview he said that he was experimenting with different voices. In easy bake he went back to the regular voice after the sza verse.
Justin Bieber and Travis Scott were hanging out and crowd surfed and stuff.
Is there a better friendship in Hip-hop atm?

yeah, looking forward to TPAB vinyl in october
also since ya'll onmaster mac miller's nuts what's his best shit?
can absolutely agree with this; my go-to example in cinema is Grave of the Fireflies. it's fucking fantastic but i can't watch it again.
while i can bump Midnight Marauders like once a month, there's recent stuff like say Days with Yen Lo that will rank high my AOTY list but i don't revisit often...replayalbility is nice for certain albums but some i take in & leave it at that, or save a replay for a certain vibe.
did we ever find out why he did this? it's not like YMCMB isn't known for stiffing dudes so i assumed it's that, but i wonder if it was something else...figure you really gotta get fucked on something to burn that bridge
"..just know you'll never be shit."
still the height of that beef...is this the same dude as the turtles ones? cause if so, i'm a fan

On first listen, album is about what you would expect from 2015 Jay Rock if you were being totally objective tbh.
It's quite smooth, and I think this is a good path for him. With more drops in the past few years, maybe he'd have reached a point of musical clarity sooner.
Where are the losses? Where are the losses?
This boy is unreal.
fucking hell.

It is, and your spoiler is true.
I can't stop playing that new Abhi//Dijon. Highly recommended for anyone needing some R&B.
Yeah, the whole thing is confusing. I still don't even know why Meek started the beef in the first place.

yeah...this Abhi//Dijon is nice. hitting up the miller links after
see i thought that was Mill catching feelings over drake not tweeting his album, it's Quentin's destruction of (presumably, possibly not?) a gravy train that puzzled me

That's probably it, but even that always felt a little weird to me. Messing up his friendship with Drake over a tweet? Despite Drake helping out his career? It all just seems really odd.
And yeah QM situation is weird also, who knows what's goin' on there.

Drake didn't tweet his album.

What the fuck is this 90059 hook brehs?
I never listened to the track when it dropped, I wanted to hear it first on the album.
EDIT:
This silly flow that everyone is using might have ruined Vice City, totally not catchy, not a smart move
Yea vice city is fairly garbage.
Wait where was this said?

Why do replay value discussions always go back to Schindler's List lol
Replay value is still king though, IMO, at least when you're talking about personal rankings. I can admit one album is more thought provoking and impactful or even better outright, yet rank it much lower than something else that caught my ear and made me go back time and time again. It has nothing to do with deeper music inherently being less replayable or whatever, it's just about the sounds and flows that catch my ear and create a tone I want to go back to. In that sense I get where Fjordson is coming from regarding TPAB. Sometimes you ain't into all of Kendrick's more coarse vocal qualities, or you might not always be in the mood for the style of music he's drawing inspiration from.

coulda sworn amazon had it up once, but not now? found this though
*edit haha look at this fuckery, took like 7 months and this is what you get when you wanna preorder
I must be the only dude that's feeling Vice City
Track is different from the usual Black Hippy posse cuts. Ab Soul needs to fucking get it together with those "waiting on the rimshot" raps lately...
Haha, I like it too! Somehow really digging that flow.
Overall, definitely a neat, smooth album. Nothing mind-blowing, but not bad either.
Well, I guess I'll have to check out that Abhi//Dijon. Never heard of them.
Real-talk, though, I can definitely understand how you might feel pissed for not getting the recognition for helping with some of Drakes biggest recent anthems/lines/memes. Still, not a good idea to bite the hands that feed you. As a songwriter you just have to accept staying behind the scenes.
Definitely worthwhile. And it's a free download @ http://abhidijon.com/
Jon B is one of my favourite R&B tracks in a while.
Just got through. Whew. Smooth as hell.
Speaking of Makonnen, how about his latest banger https://youtu.be/XQ5ZcPBdfns

Finished 90059. Not a bad album, nothing spectacular but it's a good listen.
Solid 7/10 tbh
Only definite skip is the 90059 title track

Pros/cons? Thinking about picking this one up to replace my broken player. How is the sound quality.
