Danny shouldn't be "coherent" in the typical sense. I mean this album makes sense put together. There are a ton of sounds going on, but there is a sense of theme to the whole project. I think he tackles some usual themes in fresh ways.
Yeah, figured people would. I love it for it's own reasons though.
;/ cmon son.
I really, really like it- but (and maybe this is on me, not Danny) I'm trying to answer the question of "What was Danny trying to say with this album as a whole" and I'm coming up short.
I view it as more of a musical journey, kind of like XXX was. Not every album 'has a message', nor does it have to to be classic or great material. I feel the same way about Yeezus.

Went up to a super cute barista today after class and asked her out. She seemed taken aback, but flattered and asked me to hang around (there were others in line behind me). I waited a bit until she came over, and we talked for a few minutes. Then she said she had a boyfriend. I thanked her for the tea she made me, told her to have a good day, and walked out. Blasted "Dope Song" on the way home with the windows down. Shit felt so good.
Maybe were just framing something in different words- but I like to think that every album does have some message- not necessarily a narrative, but hopefully some general theme, tone, concept, personal POV, etc from the artist to listener, be it through the sonic arrangement, lyrics, sequencing, etc. Even a relatively bland/safe/generic album (take French's for example- he's trying to be the party guy who made it and has moments of introspection) has an overall conveyance of some idea.
I just see OLD as a slicker XXX- but maybe thats the point. I need to listen to more DB interviews/read some reviews.
Btw- I didn't really mean my statement as a criticism, more just an opening for discussion. I love to hear other perspectives on stuff like this and have my views on a work change. Its why I'm eagerly anticipating the P4K review.

Guess that makes your job a bit easier, honey.
maybe she can help Big Sean's sales.
Yep, that's pretty much the fastest way to ruin something.

I do blast rap music all the time around my white, super-sororified gf and her friends. Weirdly, they love the Tity Boi. Chief Keef, not so much.
apparently not enough to buy BOATS 2
I thought this was the reason why everyone held XXX so high up and gave a lot of the middling songs a pass.

Listen to XXX. Now!
Ross tells Juan Epstein about his experience w/ Kanye before they were famous (27:57).
Ross really should let Kanye EP his album.

Damn, Ross almost had G Rap signed to MMG? I'm guessing Triple C era? I've never heard the record they did together.
I wonder what MMG would've been if we went down that path. Imagine X and G Rap on MMG.
Agree though, Ross should take Kanye's offer. Imagine what that album was like in 200x.
Also lmao @ Jay's response when Ciph sent him Everyday I'm Hustlin'.
Great Juan Ep as usual.
