half and half is 7/10?

I felt it didn't have very many bad songs.. but the highs from it were as high as his mixtape

I would rate it about the same but saying half of it is crap music is crazy to me..

Ok call it lackluster, either way half of It is skipable for me.

The reason I give it a 7/10 then is due to Rick's growth at flow, the quality of the good songs, and the fact that anything below 7/10 usually means it isn't worth a listen. GFID isn't bad but its lackluster.

Again I don't feel it is lackluster.. But for the title being GFID you would figure he would have something hard as hell like BMF or something but he really didn't...

The album really flows well tho...

Honestly, the more I think about the title GFID, the more the album disappoints me concept wise.

Wiz is a such a corny ass baby shit soft dude that that album cover is actually an improvement on his normal look. His normal look being Amber Rose sitting on his face with her balls on his chin.


That Jarren Benton tape is still getting a ton of play from me. Makes me want to start a fire in an orphanage.

Yeah the album does flow together very well. Its just lacks a strong enough single and maybe he should of saved some of the songs from the mixtape for the album, and used some of the songs on the album as part of the mixtape.

This is how I feel about K.R.I.T's better than average album coming out after his great mixtape. Even if one project is slightly more disappointing than the other one. You have to still appreciate the artist ability overall.

I like his singles.. Sophisticated is as strong as anything as he has done..

Just like I said whatever his concept was didn't match the title

I felt it started out alright, but it sorta just meanders on. Nothing is really too bad, but nothing is really too good either. Like Blackace said, there's no BMF or anything to really carry it.

True, sounds like it came out of a hat for trap hooks. It does alright for an energetic track, I don't really feel So Sophisticated.

Album is full of Cs and a few Bs. Not a bad effort, hopefully his next is better.

I didn't even like Rich Forever as much as you guys, awful features, awful choruses...Good beats. People talk about there being low standards with Spitta, but I feel it has gotten even worse with Ross. There were some tracks on that MMG album that I really liked, but Stalley fucked up a few of them.

Next rap battle, HRD Vs Ken Masters!

And yea, I felt Self Made 2. M.I.A was that song, Power Circle grew on me on the strength of 2 verses and quite a few others were solid.

Hell on earth or the infamous? I think I prefer hell on earth, feels darker to me, prodigy step it up lyrically and havoc beats are better. The infamous sounds more raw though

Did Rich Forever really get so much praise? I can't recall. Tons of tracks, most of them were forgettable as hell....like I barely remember any at all. Triple Beam Dreams and Stay Schemin' off the top of my head.

Yeah, about that...

Went back to C4C today and it's as boring as I remember. But I like its production. Outside of tracing El-P back through his career, where can I find a similar sound?
Click to expand...

honestly, pretty much nowhere. maybe you'd be able to find similar driven stuff in electronic music, but nowhere in hip hop.

C4C in the car is the best.

I think i'd agree if I look at their entire output for sure. Was running through most thier albums or hearing bits and pieces. I can't get into most like those two.

Happy bday ace, I hope Im not late but just realized I didn't say I love the new ignorant as well

7/10 for GFID sounds good. The highs on that album are very high, but the lows are so disappointing. The album might have my favorite four track sequence of the year: Ashamed, MMIV, Sixteen, Amsterdam. That shit is just beautiful

Add Pirates, 911 and So Sophisticated and you got a nice mix of dope tracks. Unfortunately the lady tracks are just so dumb (Presidential isn't too bad I guess...). 3 Kings is a joke imo

Hold Me Back could have been so dope with a better chorus and more verses like the third. IMO the album is a regression for Ross in terms of choruses. He's always been repetitive, but his bangers had some nice hooks. BMF, MC Hammer, I'm Not a Star...that shit just knocked. Hold Me Back is so lazy.

The highs are that high? Really?!

I thought that's the main issue with the album. There are no standout tracks. Teflon Don is like standout tracks back to back to back. The highs on this are okay at best.

My thoughts exactly, there are some Rick Ross songs I can listen to over and over all day(Free Mason, Maybach Music 2, Triple Beam Dreams, I'm Not a Star) GFID doesn't have any of those

Indisputable facts:

36 Chambers>Forever
Infamous>Hell On Earth

both Forever and Hell On Earth are great albums but not nearly as consistent as what came before
