I've been very pro-Rocky since I first heard LiveLove a few years back, but the new shit is just so unengaging. I keep trying to listen to it but I just tune out completely. Being boring is one of the worst things a project can be guilty of. At least some misfires can manage to be interesting.
I almost fucked with LSD for being a departure from his usual sound until I realized just how corny it is. That's an artist trying to reach into territory that's simply out of his grasp. But at least that was something different, the rest is exactly what you'd expect from him. A few of the bangers like Max B and Lord Flacko are nice, but they're been-there done-that material for him. Most of it isn't bad or offensive per se, but when I try to listen to it, it just leaves me with that feeling where I'd be better off spending that time with his older shit or a different artist all together. I still like the guy and feel he's capable of making some quality shit when the stars align, but he's been treading water creatively since the mixtape and that's not a good sign. He's fallen into the same rut as KRIT and J. Cole where he's got undeniable talent but he keeps just re-iterating the same sound with each project, which gets increasingly dull outside of a few highlights here and there.
Conclusion: throw a few tracks into the hip-hop pl on my phone and forget about the rest (not that I could forget what I never remembered in the first place...).
