    also no trending song yet on the tiktokkers so

    it might just take a while to be received well. london's saviour took a while

    although i feel like it shouldnt take that long this time it is a bit unusual considering he has like 8 million Spotify listeners. maybe the marketing couldve been done better even tho he was proppin up the album to be revolutionary idk i think the execution went poorly

    I mean he was on one of the biggest songs of the year last year LV Sandals

    Someone’s manager telling his discord lemmings to brigade comment sections is not the same as whatever happened with Geese and Sombr and whatnot

    it is still using similar strategies though on a smaller scale. let's not forget CTI is a marketing genius that made Feng go viral.

    I think he didn’t make any concessions on the project in terms of making something appealing to people

    He totally leaned on his ability to communicate and express his art and his themes

    Imo it paid off. Honestly the first rapper of the rage era to actually conceptualize on an album and have it pay off.

    The writing is phenomenal, his production is phenomenal, and it’s all very compelling even if it isn’t meant to have a surface level appeal

    Bet, I’ll be back with thoughts tomorrow.

    My peroxide blonde on her virgin blonde
    She is raspberry pie
    Exchanging perfumes like confessions at the Mercer bar
    Neon gas eating at the enamel of the teeth
    Cheeky wedding vows written on napkins stolen from Mr. Chow's
    In the hotel lobby, waiting for the food
    I see her red Agent Provocateur panties, I feel feral

    You’re right, I read the post

    All this hype and I have not heard a word about the project whether it’s bad or not.

    I think this depends on your circle. Same way I have no idea who Ella what’s her name is because I read Clash and Dazed and Face (returning soon) who have all done featurettes on Fakemink

    I am also living in London so I hear his music a fair bit

    This isn’t that bad and there’s some gentle nods to his interests

    Room 401 being where Houdini died
    Mr Chow being founded on Valentine’s Day here

    The rest seems to be playful running themes of chemicals and gas and cheating (fallen angel motif)

    It’s just pretty average? This is the worst thing you’ve heard?

    I don’t think he wrote this. Seems like one take. Which lyrics did you like on the project for comparison?
