I was telling ya'll I thought you hated on Drake. Ya'll was like "noooo we love him."
Then his shit dropped and ya'll was like. "Booo drake is wack, but damn he pulls down from sales."
Then something about it being lukewarm, and some consistent production but non-impactful. No one hot on his lyrics.
I don't even know anymore.
I don't even listen to drake, but all this drama fam... ants in mud.

Drake's great, big Sean is mediocre with flashes of great flow and both statements been true forever
i know i'm not the only one who had to look this shit up
dat 2010-2011 flash >>>>
i'm actually looking forward to listening to this album in a bit to see if Sean has cutback on some of the elements of his formula that don't work. those track leaks from yesterday aren't encouraging.
say what you will about Drake retreading the same subject matter but he's gotten a lot better progressing his sound and fusing his rap/r&b elements. on his projects before NWTS there was some shit that was just flat out unlistenable.

Wax is what I imagine falling from the tallest building on the planet must be like. It fucking wrecks you. Can't do them almost at all anymore, shit is kinda scary tbh.

couple Dark Sky Paradise thoughts
- All Your Fault sounds like a track from a far better album that somehow ended up here. How foolish of me to think he'd really stepped his sound up after that trailer.
- Stay Down and I Know overstay their welcome but I like those tracks.
- Deep sounds like it's missing something in the beat.
- One Man still sounds corny but I like it in context of the album. John Legend's part is so good.
- PND killed the hook on Deserve It. That track is gonna get some burn.
5/10. Detroit and FFV3 still his only good projects.
All Your Fault, Blessings, I Know, Deep. I want to hear a whole Big Sean album w/ that type of vibe. Cut some of them corny tendencies out.
Play Your Games is getting kept too cause it sounds like some 90s shit.
The rest of the album proper
Also I'm gonna need him to stop overrapping. Dude clearly has a nice rhythm to his flow when he's not trying to cram his bars in like Kweli. IDK why the fuck someone hasn't told him to cut that shit. Less is more but 6 (?) projects deep he is what he is now. He somehow only seems to improve in the spectrum of mediocrity like J Cole and Wale. Don't ever see either one of them leaping up to challenge Kendrick, let alone Drake. Shame he couldn't capitalize because folks we're ready to give him a chance.
beats Hall of Fame tho so I guess that's something

Haven't heard the album but this is very prominent on that Blessings song with Drake. Especially when the percussion fades out...why over-rap with no drums breh? IMO this knack of his highlights the lack of actual producers in hip hop compared to other genres. How is it that he's doing that shit, presumably with no one saying "hey man...maybe you shouldn't overload your bars, you're ruining the pockets of the beat..."

the needledrop review killed my hype for it.
thing about Fantano is, much like pitchfork--whom he likes to differentiate himself from--his rap opinions aren't very good. he's all over the map with them. he comes from a metal, emo-punk background. that being said he was kinda dead on about the new ghost bbng tracks.
obviously all ghost albums get spins

All Your Fault was suppose to be on Ye's album but Sean asked for it and Ye let him have it.
i think it's worth a listen for the interview skits alone, but yeah.

This Cyhi tape is growing on me the more I listen to it, it's really good. More diverse than the first one, but still sounds cohesive, plus the mixing is mostly good so you feel like you're listening to an actual album.
Not feeling the Big Sean's album, really can't stand his rapping despite how clean and fast he spits (but people saying he's on Gibbs' level? C'mon), but there's a few bangers here and there. The Outro could be my favorite track, loving the vibe, reminds me of CD era Kanye.
Still, more people should check out the Cyhi.

Oh I loved the GloBoys explanation
10/10, must listen
Lmfao.
You know better than to put a whole album into the hand of one reviewer breh.
I was thinking that was the case. Between thst and All Day it sounds like the 7th solo was gonna be hard as fuck at one point.
I can vape wax in my PAX, actually makes it tolerable and smoother instead of it being a brick to the face.
That BBNGxGhostface - DRIP DRIP

True but I'm less worried about his musical views and moreso about him saying the album is super short and Ghost doesn't have many verses.
He said DOOM's verse was average whereas I thought it was dope, so I know I'll disagree with him on stuff like that. But this is sounding like an instrumental album with Ghost tacked on. We'll see...
You guys ever spend like a whole night just listening to a sample of one of your favorite songs?
threw A Garden of Peace on endlessyoutube last night on repeat while I was doing some work. So many different emotions in this track, that sad yet optimistic, hopeful atmosphere.

Can't forget Michael McDonald
This BBNGXGHOSTFACE drip has some clipping issues and all the tracks sound hot, but right off the bat it's way more soulful and groovy than 36 seasons was and so far Ghost has a verse on every track but two (Mono and Starks Reality). I'm keeping my LP preorder. It's pretty dope.
That Big Sean record was aight. A few tracks I'll keep around, but per usual that's where he sits with me. Throws down heavy on a handful of tracks but lacks any cohesiveness a full album needs to be viable.
