That's the thing, the productions is definitely more complicated sounding, but Vince's actual rapping contribution is watered down and basic in comparison to any of the lyrical work he's done before

How come outkast stopped making projects?
Andre went a different direction creatively than Big Boi (both in sound and the content of lyrics) then seemed to lose his thirst for making music in general, particularly rapping. He's done quite a bit of acting, fashion shit and the like in the mean time.
But he's done quite a few features the last 2-3 years and they are allegedly making another rap album. It''ll be interesting to see what they do; Big boi is still on that smoke weed / pimp shit vibe he's always been on and Andre started moving away from that really after their first album.
It's kinda hard to listen to old Outkast for me; Andre's angry slut shaming on ATLiens sort of ruins the album for me.
Andre is...interesting

ATLiens has aged the most, Aquemini and Stankonia still sound like they were released tomorrow

More Life in stores now.
Well, I know what I'm doing on a Friday night.
Doesn't count; it's not an album, it's a playlist. Get with it, man.
I saw your review on RYM, we gave it the same score
If that's the worst album you heard then good for you
Yeah think that's a fair score.

its crazy how many people hate big fish theory. sorry vinny s left ya in the past
This better by a decent amount come on
Production alone carries this on some tracks
and BagBak is fucking dope
Hyped
I really don't think he does much with the production, like Carti is pretty much the worst rapper but he crafted some fire ass hooks and adlibs on each track to complement the amazing production. I can't even say the same for Vince, his verses aren't bad but they rarely complement anything.
Metro just dropped No Complaints with Drake and Offset
I like it
Idk it still has that grainy sound Vince had on Summertime 06 and I am fan of the distortion he uses in a track like Yeah Right
it's a weird contrast though because it goes back and forth between this electro-pop type Flume shit, and then back into heavy distorted electro with a hint of YG
I think like someone pointed out earlier in a festival setting these songs probably go, and I fully agree with that
his lyrics don't complement the production at all, I agree. Only songs that sound complete are Big Fish & and BagBak. And 745 I guess

Look at these comments, they're worse than any music stans I've ever seen.
They act like he's their parent or child, it's pathetic.

Let me stop you right there.
DJ Khaled ft. Travi$ Scott, Rick Ross, & Big Sean -
On Everything video. Damn, Rick Ross has lost a ton of weight.

The Travis hook is so good, although it makes the fact that Birds was straight garbage all the more unfortunate.
Big Sean and Rick Ross are dope too.

Apparently, Clams Casino is dropping Instrumentals IV on 6/26.
It's not in the app.
However theres a zip leak out. Could be random existing songs tho?
