That boy Q snapped, damn yo. While the beat is dope, the only other thing to note is that Kendrick probably came up with the rhyme cadence, so props to him too.
Man they need to play Control System in schools, as a poster board "this is your brain before drugs" example.
The fuck happened to you, Soul? Yo ass used to be beautiful.
Your salt level when VFT6 goes platinum in one week?

do their styles really line up that well? feels like the kinda collabo that just leaves me revisiting their solo stuff, could be wrong here
....well damn
I agree. I still think it's a pretty solid album; disappointment though.
It's aight.
Too easy
so 90059 is forgettable/meh... not surprised. i'll check it out soon.

Feel the same I wasn't feeling the fact they used the same flow. Q sounded great and Kenny but the rest eh...
yeah they been cool.
i'm type salty about this actually happening and not the Ross/Drake tape though. they're a much better combo than Future/Drake.
Yeah, that would be dope.
Though what if this is all smoke and the tape is actually Wolves with Kanye =O

It's just so unnecessary.
Vice City is a fun track. Feel like Kendrick, Rock and especially Q had a good time with it. Video is entertaining. Solo hoe tho 😟
Adds zero.

Only K and Q could execute on the flow and sound really nice.
Too much to ask from Rock and hobo.

First impressions of 90059....I feel like this album is a poster child for the importance of having an actual exec producer. There are some good tracks on this album and some good ideas, but overall it just doesn't mesh into anything special - in large part because nobody is there to steer the ship. It starts out pretty strong but even by the second song you run into a horrible decision. That SZA interlude should be an actual song, period. I "get" that the album has a variety of beat changes that imitate someone surfing from one radio station to the next but still...this was fucking stupid.
Things basically start falling off once the "concept" seems to begin with Telegram. I'm still stunned why no one vetoed that title track chorus btw. Then Vice City comes along with horrible flows all around. I don't even get the appeal of Q's verse, nor do I like Kendrick's "hook" at all. That beat is meant to be ripped apart with flow after flow, but instead they get cute. "Black Hippy" works in large part because each member has a different style; everyone using the same flow concept kills that novelty.
Fly On The Wall is a great song...until Busta shows up and completely changes the tone/concept. It's a great introspective track with some vivid lyricism, and perhaps some of Jay Rock's best rapping. It feels like something that wouldn't be out of place on GKMC in fact. Then Busta shows up. Why would you greenlight that? If Busta wants to be on the album, give him a banger he can flow over like Necessary. The album then ends on a kind of bland note with The Message.
There's about half of a great album here. Necessary, Easy Bake, Gumbo, Wanna Ride, and The Ways are all dope. Give me that SZA track in full, Vice City with them straight up rapping, the title track without that horrendous hook, Fly On The Wall without Busta, and Money Trees Duece. Then add a couple more tracks and you'd have a dope album.
I see the album really getting panned on the Coli, here, and by some folks on twitter. Reviews probably won't be kind either. This simply isn't the album you make fans wait four years for.

Yeah, I agree
This sums it up quite well. And yeah, also agreeing with that executive producer point.

the last two minutes of Easy Bake are amazing
fuck, why isn't the whole song like that man
Yup breh. SZA sounds angelic on that shit. The beat is smooth, Rock is flowing well...then it ends. Come on. That's the type of track you gain some buzz with, not waste as an interlude...

that 3-6 flow...not mad at it but i'd not want more than a track of it myself
like, his last one wasn't bad but it felt like a drop in quality after chico dusty

anyone else seen this Murder Rap documentary? it's the Pac/Biggie stuff but a bit more concise than usual, almost done with it but it's great so far
PD was right, its all gang shit
yeah who knows? with a good executive producer, it might have been a 5 or even 6 out of ten album. we can only speculate now....
They really need some quality control over there at TDE, it's clear they have it in them but it's amateur hour with most of their releases. The last 2 minutes of Easy Bake bangs just as how the last 2 minutes of Just Have Fun was good but that quality just doesn't extend to the rest of the album.
I don't know why they kept that last minute or so of Money Trees Deuce for the album release, keep that shit for live shows or something.

Seems pretty confirmed.
Also - I'm not seeing it on spotify... will it be coming there?
Man you guys are both wrong. Cole is pretty good on trap records, but Peter you're definitely underrating Kendrick's versatility and ability to renegade just about anyone on any type of track.

...Umm yeah Kendrick is pretty impressive on any beat.
I wasn't talking about deep or conscious music specifically, but was just using it as an example. What I'm really talking about is recognizing the different utilities of various albums. Don't front like you've heard many pedantic albums that carry the same sort of accessible grooves as say a Drake album. I love Drake, but let's be real, his albums aren't albums in the same sense that Kendrick's albums are albums. The subgenre definitely has an affect on the tone of the album, and albums with strong concepts are more likely to employ moments of abrasion or utilize somewhat off-kilter styles of music to enhance a story or theme. Kendrick is yet to make an album that's just a collection of radio songs.
Umm yeah because his last album was super memorable....

Not really. Drake showing up on Where Ya At was kinda like that awkward moment when a little kid walks in the room during a very adult conversation.
