OK, I like this so far. A lot of soul in this, and the brass ( is it synthesised? Probably) is pretty cool. I could, however, do without loudmouth Chris Rock on “Idols Become Rivals”, but the song is good; very ominous, dark beat behind it. Guess this is trap again? So of course is the next one, “Trap Trap Trap”, though it seems to mean something else? Is “I took my roof off at the red light” a euphemism for something, I wonder? I like “Dead Presidents” too (referring to money, I assume: heard this in a Waits song) and overall I'd have to say this is a pretty good album. Enjoyed just about everything on it really.
