Rihanna single > Kendrick album

Definitely...

New Wale album>

It's out?

Leak is out, tomorrow is the official version, might just buy this one, really like the beats, the hooks are money so far, 9 songs in, Jerry is Jerry lol...

Will listen to it on spotify

What's the feel like?

Random news:

PS4 got spotify - it's fucking awesome

I'm sure you've seen the news on Tidal & Jay Z and etc, got a month subscription. Will give my thoughts on that in a few days ( it's Supposed to be 15x better quality than Internet & spotify, but the human ear can't hear that)

So far - not good. Not bad either but MEH

I heard it, all artists dickriding it not because of quality my friend, we all know why $$$...

Anyways, the feel of Wale is very silky smooth IMO...

Listening to it now

Of course Tidal is some money grabbing bullshit lol. After a few hours of listening - It's impossible to hear the quality improvement they offer. It's a joke. Hope they fail tbh

Go Spotify

First listen wale album thoughts -

This is true soul, not Kendrick or cole. People don't know shit, those 2 do nothing soulful. Wale has cornered the market on being a less emotional version of Drake.

He's good at the slow soul/r&b but I wish there was a lot more uptempo stuff. That's where he really shines.

Overall good so far, but gotta be in a r&b mood (night time imo). People said that about Kendrick's album and that's total bullshit. Shit was just boring and unfitting for any situation

Yeah, the album is very smooth, soulful, I really love hopeless George Constanza intro...

FUCK the fans who think that KDot album is soul...

The more I listen to this Wale album, the more I love the vibe in it ...

Tbh this album is way too fucking slow for me lol

But, I do love the intro, and like 4 or 5 other tracks too. Good stuff

My only problem is, there's no huge change of pace. I'm used to wale being hype and uptempo over the years, so I expect him to come in and get hype for a song or a verse or something. But it never happens. And that bothers me

If I didn't know that uptempo wale existed, I would love this album lol

I wanted something like Pretty Girls or Double M Genius or something else go-go music inspired

I agree that it lacks a typical Wale song like pretty girls and shit, but I don't mind the slow pace, I really like it, Wale really hit the mood...

I totally don't mind the pace either but it's something I'm accustomed to. Tinashe is my current fave artist and she's definitely slow lol

But overall it's good for his career as a whole that he kept it like that the whole album. That way these random people who dislike him can't call him fake, or trying too hard, etc..

It's his first consistent real release

Agree ^^ about first consistent release, last album was meh...

I did like aggressive/trap wale with Ambition tho

And my favorite is Attention Deficit for the go-go uptempo beats

Gifted was meh outside of like 4 songs

Yeah, ambition was nice, Attention deficit had a lot of Mark Ronson producing so that's that and a Gucci and Bun B and Pharell feature, but this is his best project IMO...

Available only on tidal ^ lmao

MONOPOLY MONEY GRAB! RIP MUSIC INDUSTRY etc

Yep, as soon TIDAL was announced, I was like $$$...

Well if it's true I'll let you know how it is lol

Probably trash imo

"Everyone release some exclusive byllshit so we look good. Go! Hurry!" -
Jay

Update - not true lol

Yeah, april fools...

SMFH...9.4 TPAB...

Yea that's bullshit. I agree with the general basis of the review but the number is horribly low.

IMO 7.5-8 is good. It'll go up to 8.5 if you're in the mood for it

I liked one song on TPAB. 1.5/10 from me imo

When's the last time an album this boring and not transcendent (to genres, not race) got a review THAT high?

MBDTF was the last rap album I remember to be rated that high, but you couldn't even call that a rap album. That was just music

I can't remember, only MBDTF and Yeezus...

Fuck Pitchfork, they've lost all credit from me...

Girls on Drugs and The Bloom>

One Time in Houston has a Drakeish vibe...
