BRUH
FIRST THINGS FIRST: F*** ALL THE NUMBERS, SALES, WHAT PEOPLE SAYING ALL THAT,WHAT PEOPLE EXPECTED, THE GODAWFUL, STRUGGLE-NARRATIVES I'VE SEEN PEOPLE COME UP WITH (jfc ) : -IRRELLEVANT MISS ME WITH ALL THAT
so when i went to bed the 25th after celebratig christmas with my parents and my sister and her fam i kept dreaming i the album already dropped in my dreams because i've been thinking bout it for the longest, me and someone else holding my hand were dashing through crowds of people at this festival-ish event while WLR was runing through my mind. at one point i spotted Drake seated at some table like 20 m infront of me and he motioned me to come sit down, so as i got seated face to face to Drake he held up his phone and the WLR artwork was visible on some streaming service he had and some song was playing and he was just cheesing in excitement meanwhile i was a literal mess, just crying uncontrollably about the album finally being out i dont really remember what took place after this but i kept dreaming i woke up, saw the album was out as my excitement shot through the roof and i hit play, this happened multiple times i dreamt it was out, hit play, "woke up" like "OOOH i was just dreaming lmfao, okay lets get it!" SIKE, another dream fast forward i f***ing wake up fam. its f***ing OUT. its LITERALLY ingested and in my f***ing hands fam. i hit play on "Rockstar Made"with my new headphones and brUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH the synths hit like me amphetamines on steroids. keep in mind i have AVOIDED the leaks on purpose, i've only heard "Kid Cudi" and some of the snippets he previewed weeks ago when he popped back up on Twitter.
anyways, im listening: like "track 1: FIRE. track 2: FIRE. track 3: FIRE" while trying to not dislocate my actual f***ing head cause im bobbing back and forth like a f***ing yo-yo
"BENO!" comes on LOVING the mesh of the distorty synths/bass + the melodic keys
track 5: FIRE!
I SEE THE SONG WITH KID CUDI, I THINK ABOUT THE SNIPPET HE PREVIEWED JUST DAYS BEFORE, MAYBE HE JUST CHANGED THE TITLE
ANOTHER F***ING SONG FAM. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
I WASNT EVEN MAD THE SONG WITH KID CUDI WASN'T "KID CUDI THEY TRYNA BE CRAY" FEATURING KID CUDI HIMSELF even tho he teased that version literally days before, BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHSKI WHEN CUDIS HUMS CAME IN UNDER CARTI BELTING OUT "SLAAAT" "OMFG" I FELT LIKE A OPPOSITE THUNDERBOLT, I WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE SKY FAM, MANS EVEN CONTINUED RAPPING OVER KID CUDIHUMMING
"Slay3r"
"no sl33p" THUNDERBOLT X NERVOUS SYSTEM GOING HAYWIRE TYPE BEAT
AYO WHEN NEW TANK CAME ON
i didnt recognize it at first then i heard IM ROBBING THE BANK
"TEEN X" CARTI AND FUTURE FLOATED ON THIS, SOUNDS LIKE A FLUFFY CLOUD
ah yes "Meh" pros: the song: cons: its missing a "@"
THEN BRUH, the fact this f***er had this typical "Vampire type beat organ riff" as the start to "vamp anthem" had me HOOOOOOOOWLING s*** sounded like the Krakens Themesong in POTC 2 when that f***er ate a pirate ship for brunch DU-DU-DUUUUH- DU-duh-duUh DUH beatdrop GENIUS :hah;
NEW N30N SONG OF LIFE, LUSH SYNTHS LUSH EVEYRTHING AAAAAAAAAAAAYE

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD SONG TO SAMPLE, shoutout to whoever came up with that and shoutout to Carti for using that beat: -fucked with it HEAVY as a closer, also love the sampled song ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOT so the connection connected
loved his energy about "time to show them what i learned"
Carti's hurting a lot on this one and i love how personal and vulnerable alot of the lyrics/subject matter is (inb4 "its not that deep fa-" GO F*** YOURSELF A THOUSAND TIMES ) im obviously looking from the outside in, but im getting the vibe that he's made alot of uncomfortable realizations about himself lately, (that he may not necessarily know how to deal with yet) which really shines through had me howling that he(not on the same song btw) said "i could wear a dress suit and speak proper"
oh yeah this the short review by the way, love the energy, its so f***ing visceral and tangible: - s*** i rage to fam, s*** i cry to
s*** i blast in the UFO fam while i abduct a cow and drop it off into the nearest McDonalds true the window fam, slam that mofo up in there lik the koolaid man fam, s*** i dance to by myself and knock myself out from 1-man-moshpitting a hole into my wall fam. the louder you play this the better it gets
i love it li ilvoe it i love it i love it i love it i love it li lovte i t li love it i love it
inb4 "you really d***riding carti lol, mans doing the most 10/10'ing everything " i literally didn't so go f*** yourself once again, guess you dont speak vibes (not talking about the album, im talking about ME) i click play and i like or i dont = simple as that innit. Whole Lotta Red yet very colourful - i like!
shoutout Oanye for saying "its over!"
feller dropped this on christmas too. legend
you dont speak vibes i guess then?????????????lol?????????????????????????????????????lol???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????lol????????????? i click play and i like or i dont = simple as that innit
It was a completely different set of songs
Considering carti apparently said he didn’t like his features, my point stands. It probably would’ve been even worse
professionalism and carti just do not mix
Yeah as much as it’s his own product and he can do what he wants, I wouldn’t be surprised if Richie and Pi’erre never speak to him again and it’s fine that they don’t

All the features (Post Malone, drake, Travisc, etc) and snippets (kid cudi, black gun, tryna get down, money and d****) which were teased got apparently scrapped the day before release and replaced by new songs he just recorded in the last days/weeks. Basically most of the stuff from f1lthy and the other producers is new. Von says Carti didn't like the features,etc. and his camp (all yes men) said his new songs are better
Album was mostly Richie (8 tracks but now 2), Pi'erre, the artdealer stuff and some others.
Richie, Uzi, Pi'erre were all promoting the album until the day before release on Twitter. Pure silence after the album dropped. Pi'erre posted a sad gif on Twitter but then deleted it.
Carti's hairdresser attacking Uzi on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/Rhonnie_Lee/status/1342730466722512896Other info:
Pause on Place has been there for 2 years but Fritz (mixing engineer) didn't bother to fix it
WLR v1 was planned for December 2018 but scrapped, would have never gotten most of the songs without the leaks in 2019
likely no deluxe
very possible burned bridges with Pi'erre and Richie. Richie turned down the opportunity to produce for Planet Pluto but he focused on WLR
Source: Von, Richie discord and twitter
Dis is better, Carti didn’t need them features we wanna jump at show
He dropped aoty
But he should have put Travis on META
imagine caring about this like at all
Yeezus got made in two weeks same with 808s
Well for 1 I wish he didn’t cut money and d**** and the features. Too many short songs that could’ve been boosted by a feature verse or a little more refinement
The 5 sec pause on place is inexcusable it screams lack of effort. Plus this whole story makes me think carti is delusional cause scrapping an entire project for a new one in the 4th quarter hardly even makes sense for Kanye but it especially doesn’t make sense when you’re relying on others for features and beats and s***
Like with how d***ged out and depraved carti sounds on this album (and it feels genuine on some sb2h s***) I feel like pushing away everyone who fw you isn’t the right move
Vampire boy really fumbled the bag
Not even mad that Drake wasn't on it, song would probably have been mid anyways
Pain 1993 better than all the feature performances on WLR
wlr new songs better than those baby voice songs. people had enough leaks with that style
@ meh was tight Carti turned into an artist, but he made the right choice
Drake wouldve been one of the highlights of the album just like the producers and other feats
Naw I’m not dissing him but Drake is old now, unless he woulda said sumn special like how he thought of LNCL
deluxe of WLR now possible
W, thank god he changed his mind
AWWWW, we got robbed of Ecstasy because low music iq people didn’t understand @ MEH,
He sound like Travis tho but we need dat and Black Gun
W, thank god he changed his mind
lmao this s*** is never the artists decision in the first place
deluxe of WLR now possible
It was always gonna be a vol 2
deluxe of WLR now possible
This is lame
