The problem with a lot of CrasH Talk wasn’t necessarily the sound. DJ Dahi brought great production to the table, I think Q was just uninspired rapping wise and just phoned it in partially.
The biggest issue with CrasH Talk was the lack of Q’s identity and what made him so special on previous releases. He’s seemed to get his mojo back with his excellent recent features though.
Sound isn’t just about production quality. Yes Crash Talk has beats that were objectively good/great but the overall sound/feeling/inspiration of the album was just flat and boring. Much more reason to that just Q’s lyrics falling flat.

A lot of the production was pretty good though sonically. The only production I personally didn’t think was that great was Lies. The feeling was lifeless at times because of Q, not because of the music itself. Q’s delivery was the issue for alot of the songs, not his flow or lyrics. He just sounded bored on some of it, like he was rapping cuz he needed to drop an album.

he didn't sound bored he sounded downtrodden, which fits perfectly with what he was rapping about
He brought energy on CHopstix and Lies and they're the ones people hated the most

Lol no
He brought energy on Numb Numb Juice and for a lot of people this song is a highlight
Attention is another highlight where he actually sounds downtrodden, not bored
Songs like Die Wit Em are perfect example of him just going on autopilot and sounding bored

He definitely did not sound bored on Die Wit Em lmao
The song and his delivery are great

Idk just overall he really uses this "blah blah AYY" flow on a lot of album cuts and it sounds mad lazy for me
Dude got renegaded by Lil Baby on Water exactly because Baby brought hella energy to that song
I love the whole album but Tales, Numb Numb Juice, Dangerous, CrasH and Attention especially are all top tier tracks
Water, Drunk and Floating too
damn i hope thats not whats goin on with zay
Nah Zay s*** too fire for that to happen
I don’t think Zay is struggling to come up with a concept or struggling to make good music, I think he’s just trying to make a “masterpiece” and his expectations for greatness are ridiculously high. He played one snippet on IG live back in March/April and it sounded AMAZING.
All the snippets are amazing

When Baby came in on the drop on Water I got an extra jolt of energy and Q verse already energized me
Just to be clear
Has anybody in this thread heard this album
Yea Q played me the album after hanging out with him back then
Blank face isn't that good and Qs later appraisal of it being something white internet nerds bump once and forget about was 100% accurate
Is that the one with them in the house with the girl and they all dancing to the beat?
Yeah it’s the one that sounded like Aquemini by OutKast.
