    Y’all really need to be mouth fed ā€œthe importance of the docā€ā€” truly astonishing

    i broke down the documentary 10 pages ago and referenced how it ties into First Order of Business with his aunt who directed this documentary buying the grandma a house with him in that video. that seems important…since you know…the focus of this documentary and the last album and his movie is the women in his life

    yea, i would like for Keem to speak more on these connections as a fan what the f*** are you niggas on man. please stop responding with stupid s*** like an elitist

    I would love to hear his perspective on stuff too but it’s been less than a week since the album announcement, I’m sure there will be interviews later. I just think it hasn’t been nearly long enough since the announcement to be making calls of him trying to carry some mysterious image

  • MaxRun

    Maybe I’m just old, maybe I’m an idiot, maybe both. But I just personally don’t see an artist working on their s*** for a few years and not being present on social media while they do it as mysterious. I wish more artist would shut the f*** up when they’re in between albums. I don’t need artists to also have to be social media personalities and influencers.

    Not even trying to argue. Fwiw I also just grew up on music scenes where bands / artists drop, promote, tour, and then you mostly don’t hear from them again until a new record happens outside of shows in between. I honestly just don’t find it that crazy but again maybe I’m bias because of the scenes i grew up on. To each their own.

    word. hiphop has an emotional connection to the music that is built from the artist welcoming you into their world in order to experience the music from a shared mindset or to get you to see the bigger picture of the message they are pushing within the music. that’s just good old regular promo man, there’s nothing overly deep about it or an argument that needs to be had. without it, the project you are about to get is for lack of better word, a mystery as the artist has been overly quiet lol. JID disappeared in the middle of his biggest hit and did one freestyle before finally popping out and doing traditional promo for his new album. he was being mysterious for nearly 2 years while Surround Sound was running tiktok until it was album time and he welcomed us back into his world and built the album for us by telling us the features, producers, themes, and what he’s been up to in his time away

    glad to know about the scene you grew up in lol

    Ngl rollout is kinda underwhelming, could’ve set the tone by dropping a loosie rn or something

    i was listening to the album today for the first time in a while and forgot that he sounded like fiddy lol

  • if there is a picture that represents keem's lyricism, it's this:

  • TheFader

    Like what piece of information do you still need about this album? It drops in four days

    Niggas want a single. But we still have a week before the album it’ll probably be more content from the album dropped

  • Valentine

    why have you been silent for 3.5 years?

    who can we expect in production?

    why is Long Beach the chosen backdrop?

    who is Aunt Connie and why is she important to the story on this project and the last?

    does the album center on Long Beach or Las Vegas or life in between?

    what is the timeline between this and Melodic Blue?

    you said we’d hear from you in 2 years, it’s been nearly 4, what happened Keem?

    why did you choose to structure the promo this way after a long hiatus and radio silence versus the extended structure of your first project?

    like come on dawg lol, it’s a lot of questions you can come up with that he has left open ended in promo due to mystery

    All of this could be discovered when the album comes out and after the impact. It’s out next week

    A loosie like hooligan rn would be dope. (Even though it ended up on the deluxe)

    I love the pretend anger itt over how excited they are to hear music

    usually happens when a album is months out but the s*** is literally dropping in 4 days be so serious

    have to think a single or something’s dropping early in the week. Sure, people on music boards are aware of it dropping this Friday, but I doubt the general public are.
