I think i forgot to mention that i did give the album a listen, and i will hand it to him that he's an extremely flexible rapper, in delivery and all. Substance wise i didn't hear too closely, nothing caught my attention but i'll listen again for that. The album's music wasn't nearly as enticing as some newer releases, like Black Up or Channel Orange, but it wasn't bad.

One more listen at least, but it isn't anything extraordinary from an artistic perspective, like i would hope to see from such a hyped release.

Pyramids is the one song that I do adore, and well, it's not that bad, but it's got the Beatles-effect for me. It's been glorified so much that I can't seirously listen to it anymore without thinking "so this is amazing according to everyone, huh? Cos I'm not hearing it."

Also:



>Best New Track
>implying the lyrics aren't awful
>implying the production isn't average as fuck

His flow is good though, but I just can't listen to this with my serious face on.

"DAYUMN I GOT BITCHES, DAYUMN I GOT BITCHES, DAYUMN I GOT BITCHES"
"BIAAATCH, NO WAIT, BIAAATCH, NO WAIT, BIAAATCH"
"BIAAATCH, COLDPLAY, BIAATCH, COLDPLAY, BIAAATCH"

No I'm not going to try this album.

Does anyone here listen to anything with any real lyrical substance or heart? Mainstream hip hop ain't been worth a damn since Pac, SMH

Y'all need to be checking out some underground music.

Check out Jelly Roll-The Big Sal Story, Haystak-From Start To Finish... Hell, get on datpiff.com and check out any of Jelly Roll's Therapeutic Music mix tapes, they're all free...

Real music from real dudes about real life...

Very nice, but that has got nothing to do with the subject.

My apologies, wasn't trying to derail the thread. I was just thinking out loud really.

Music is subjective and everyone likes what they like. I didn't think dudes freestyle was bad, but it sure didn't wow me enough to put forth any extra effort to check out his other stuff...

You are listening to the song out of context. The freestyle is supposed to be braggy basic and egotistical because he's just chilling with his friends and smoking while in the backseat. The track before and after that one shows you that he basically did it because of his friends.

The little "annoying" interludes at the end of tracks help string things together.

At first I didn't like Swimming Pools by itself but when I hear it on the album it makes sense following the tracks good kid and m.a.a.d city. Those are probably the best two on the album and transitions nicely into Swimming Pools which I like a bit more now.

I don't think contextualising the tracks makes a difference on my end.

If a song is awful by itself it can't just get good because it's supposed to be taken into the context of the video, really. It's just a shitty song for me any way around. Context is nice and all, Dark Side of the mOon's tracks work best when you listen to the album as a whole, but they are still great even when you don't listen to them in their context.
