Nov 18, 2023·edited·1 replyMac Wit Da CheeseHaven’t listened but we got mfs in here a***yzing his flute skills? I never seen anyone discuss the flute before now we got experts
You got ears bro? It sounds literally sore to the ears... And it ain't that I'm an expert cause I ain't. The problem is it makes him look MAAD corny, to even think he's pretentious enough to pull this off, just put out a flute album that no one really tryna hear but a minority when he has a huge fan base (and he just f***ing sucks at the flute), if he don't want a fan base then so be it, but he seems to have a minority hoodwinked, so maybe he did to a small extent, but they same people would give 90 mins of 3k s***ting violently into the mic a 10/10 regardless then forget it even existed a month later and realise the disappointment it was.

And yes, aware he said it was not going to be a rap album before it came out, I knew that. I expected good music. Not a dude that took ayahuasca a few times, became a hippie and suddenly thinks he CAN play a F***ING FLUTE. He practiced for 10 years? It doesn't show. But everyone around 3k would tell him its godly level music no matter what he did so it dont really matter

Nov 18, 2023TheGhostBro if you need the correct setting and time of day to 'enjoy' a record, you already know you're expecting to not like it and setting up a perfect scenario where it might be decent. It is bad. Objectively bad. He barely even actually playing the flute, more so humming most of the time, all of it is improv so no chord progressions, it's all over the place. Ambient Music doesn't mean just go in the booth with no talent on a flute and just do whatever comes to mind, he's an incredible song writer, incredible lyricist, even a good singer. But a good flute player he is not.
It's more about having the optimal first listen, I do this for albums or movies I've been looking forward to a lot

Straight up this is proof you didnt listen to the album
or you did and you have zero musical sensibility 
Nov 18, 2023TheGhostThe music sucks is my main gripe. No gripe with people buying it, just 3k's audacity to sell it to his fans, he may as well have slapped them instead
No one told you to buy it tho. That’s my stance, your listening to it for free while paying Steve Jobs. Like it or not you still listened.

kogoyosyea this was really nice. perfect for meditation, tripping, airports, and deep focus

AOTY, alright let’s settle down here
Nov 18, 2023YungThuggaDaGoatNPCs struggling to listen to this. Trying to convince themselves they are so open minded.
What blows my mind is the NPC nocking this don’t even realize this s*** ain’t scratching the surface lmao there is some other crazy ambient music and classical music out there that would probably send them into a coma

I think people need to focus more on the "I"s and "me"s of his statement. because he seems to only be framing it for himself. and that should be respected period imo.
I think the "not to say that age is a thing that dictates what YOU rap about, but in a way it does" is throwing people off cause it's the one time in the response he uses "you" instead of "I" but it was probably a mistake. he's just talking about his experience, I'm sure 3K doesn't care if other 40 year olds are rapping.
edit: oh nvm y'all already broke it down next page lol
