Not his best work. Wasn't as good as BTI imo but like a more mature version of awaken my love.

One of my favorite songs of the year Ariana killed that s***

S*** was atrocious

BTI >>>>

He was trying too hard to be Frank Ocean, he needs to stick to his lane

I liked it

Right.Tried so hard to be mysterious it hurt the rollout

sure, but for what was supposed to be his last album, to waste it on making a pretentious point like that ... it’s a dumbass move I can’t lie

I think it was kind of ill for a dude like him

seems like he tried to do a viral marketing campaign and it backfired to me

it’s just immensely frustrating to me because the themes, production, and writing on the album are all arguably some of his best ever and could’ve been a moment but it’ll probably be forever overlooked bc he wanted to make a meaningless point

i'm not even too sure that's what his purpose was by releasing it the way he did.

i'd like if he spoke on it sometime in the future cause it's really all speculation unless i missed something. i f*** with the album tho, dope creative s***.

What was the point again?
I only remember no track names or something like that but never dug into why?

He still hasn’t acknowledged the album

trash album from a trash rapper

Is that why he did that?

and that's why that s*** was dope

to me at least

He sabotaged himself

would have liked it a lot without the gimmick

i don't recall him ever speaking on the album. the music or the thought process behind the release. Dahi spoke on it a little bit but i'd have to hear it from the man himself cause this doesn't tell me s*** lol.

Do you think there’s an artistic reason for the time stamps? To push the focus onto the whole album?

That’s a question to ask Donald, for sure. But goal-wise, it’s always about the whole package. The way we interpret and hear music now is very, “I can change this now if I don’t like it.” It’s easier to switch something. We want people to at least sit with the songs. It’s not about the separation of the songs, it’s about the whole.

Did you know he was going to upload the album for 24 hours then take it down?

I didn’t know nothing about that. With the album being released the way it was, it was confusing the idea of a traditional release. But it makes sense for now. The main goal is to have people sit with it, understand the flavors. It’s hard to get those moments from people. This is the one time nobody can go anywhere. So sit with this.
