He set the bar high I guess. But when you do it just asks me the question why can’t you do it again?
Artists are human, sometimes they made an album on a time of their lives where they caught lighting on a bottle, then their lives change and they are not the same anymore
Its the Nas dilemma, dropped as his first project the best hip hop album of all time, but then couldnt reach it anymore. But in the end, he still dropped various classics and great projects, but when u try to compare his projects, he spent his career never reaching Illmatic again
threads a perfect case study in projecting your own unfalsifiable interpretations on someone else "this is lazy" ok man its got the same exact amount of effort as wizard just say you dont like it
"regression"

Tbh I can’t complain too much cos futures given us like 8 quality projects which most rappers couldn’t achieve. But it’s been two albums in a row (high off life) where he hasn’t reached his standards hence the complaints

Nah wizrd was amazing
I feel like wizard has a decent number of filler tracks
if we're keeping it a buck the majority of his projects are like this and drakes.
monster or save me is his best work because not a moment is wasted talking about pulling diamonds out of a pawg's butt or whatever the duck
I have been listening to LOVE YOU BETTER, WAIT FOR U & PUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ on loop for 3 hours straight. Those 3 tracks alone means the album is good no matter how mid the rest of the tracks are. But yeah the album is just good and not anything more, it's not one of his greatest
FUTURE imo
if FUTURE and HNDRXX were a double-album it would he up there with Blonde On Blonde, White Album, The Wall etc..
