Esch is one person though.
How is Never Catch Me Garbage? Song is fantastic, and the lead into it is perfect.
Some of the jammy bits like Hot Dog Coma come together nice, like an Al Di Meola collab jam on fast forward. But like the source material, it retains a heavy level of straight cheese. Some of the tracks, even the good ones, start out with a chill ambient vibe and then crash right into freejamfap about 50-66% of the way through. There are times when there are sections that I think could have been drawn out a little longer to hit the spot, but hey. Theres some bad, some good. It's an interesting album if nothing. I don't have any non-tecnhical way to evaluate this music besides "I like it" or "I don't", though. It's hard to perceive artistic intent on something relatively chaotic and like this. It doesn't have a guiding morality or worldview etc etc so I'll just leave it at a tempered, tepid thumbs up. I will say this for YOU'RE DEAD!, it feels significantly more human and less mechanic than a lot of his previous work. I'm just not sure if it's better or not.
Yup. Some shit on here (especially tracks 1-4 and Moment Of Hesitation) sounds like Flying Lotus doing his own rendition of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi and Sextant but not nearly as good. The snoop track has no direction whatsoever and only picks up a bit towards the end, when Snoop raps his verse. The majority of tracks I listened to I was like "so what was the point of this?".
I listen to more experimental and unconventionall music too. I love me some off the wall Ambient or Jazz Fusion every once in a while. The difference is that with the shit I listen to, even with UTCQ, I am able to see a motive, intricateness and beauty behind it. Here, I find it much harder.

I'm excited to hear what Nast does. Ever Since Trillmatic I've been wanting to hear what he does.
ASAP is a trash group and Ferg is the only redeemable member right now imo.

Yea, I went into that tape just randomly cause I had nothing to do at work and really liked it. Probably in my top 10.
lmao, JJ fish gettin paidThe JJ Fish sounding vocals in the beginning of The Boys Who Died In Their Sleep
Going back on Rocky's album.. I think it was a tiny bit overhated tbh. Most of the tracks were cool except for Fashion Killa and Wild for the night which were the most offensive tracks to hip hop that year.

I'm greatly enjoying You're Dead. It's telling me something, I don't know what that is quite yet because there is a lot of information to parse, but it's nice to see that the humanity in FlyLo's work is still present. He has been lacking that touch for a minute.

its really good. but what really got me to listen to it, was this album cover.

I really don't see him pulling out a Trap Lord whatsoever.

Honestly, if there are just a few worthwhile tracks on there at this point, I'll put it as a win for him. I'm not really expecting him to drop a classic or anything...
And, if I'm really being honest, the reason I liked Trillmatic so much is cause Meth killed it on his verse.
Yesss give me that new Thug.

That always seemed like a weird place for him to sign.
(I'm trying really hard to say that without making a lame ass pun)
Hopefully he's coming to save TDE

15-18 tracks straight of nothing but krit verses and choruses sounds like a bad idea.
Krit needs guidance.

"Hood gon love it" is still my jam. I really hope his project is better than last.
Nobody's inundating people with content right now, not even TDE. The most prolific unit in rap right now is probably some trash like Rich Gang.

You right
My posts move weight like south american mules
Yeah, wtf. Although, Lac Lac had Ferg on it, no? Why isn't he on the tracklist. Maybe a mistake?
And who the fuck is looking for a Twelvy tape.

Krit needs to be worth something again to get guidance.

Krit track list just might be missing features tbh
