"the deliriously anticipated, bourbon-drowned baptismal"
man i can't with these types of music journalists
White people always do this s*** 🤣🤣. They be like "his words cascading over sun glazed loops and dusty drums." Like bruh stfu lmaooo
So where was he? That depends on where you want to start. Consider the 30 days detoxing and surrendering to a higher power in an Orange County rehab facility; the time he was so drunk boarding a flight that the cops nearly arrested him (he still isn’t sure why they didn’t); the time he wrecked his Jeep; the other time he wrecked Top Dawg’s Honda but fixed it so that his label boss never found out. That time Isaiah — or Zay, as everyone calls him — returned home and swore he’d given up rapping for money, and the abyss he faced when he finally came back to L.A., dead broke, sleeping on a friend’s couch, having somehow spent all of his money on supporting friends and family, buying clothes, and eating “really expensive sandwiches.”
my boy
that s*** came out half a decade ago and they're nerds for attaching themselves incessantly to a moment in time
people grow and change and zay made that album between a X**** and alcohol addiction then severe depression
he's not concertedly making that type of music again because a) it came out of extreme trauma that he doesn't wanna face b) he isn't making the same styled album twice
ok

s*** making me hungry talm bout some glazed
Why are there so many haters in this thread
go listen to that cilvia demo and then come back to this single. Its not even the style on this one that is jarring but zay doesnt really sound at home on this track and while his feature wasnt that great either his energy halfway saved the song. Its still not a good song by any means but whatever emotion he tapped in on cilvia and part of tst is seemingly gone for all we know. It sucks that those albums came during some of his lowest points.

I can't wait for this album
zay seems like he's worked so hard to improve himself and put himself in a healthier place
he seems genuinely invested in himself now
after tst helping me come to terms with my depression if this is an album about recovery and growth
Yeah all you weirdos owe Top an apology
maybe for zay but idk. So everybody he signed is mentally unstable? I know every artist has their vice but its weird to have a music label that rarely puts out music. Thats not to downplay what the artist are going through, but its technically bad business if you see the signs. Its the same reason who you work for probably ask if people have a history of mental illness before hiring so they can tempter expectations.

top does everything to care for his artists, but it's up to them at the end of the day to come thru with their music
and they have come through! even crash talk was at least good
I mean even in the interview, it only took way admitting his position to top to immediately be sent to rehab, and according to say himself it had a great effect on him
for CTRL, when it was originally gonna drop in 2017, SZA was dealing with anxiety and considered scrapping the album and going into hiatus, but top made her sit down and finish the vision that he shared with her for the album, and look how that turned out
top has been dealing with the stereotypes of "label mob boss" for how many years? And yet he still comes through

Bro we get it. You don’t like the song. Go outside and listen to something else lol. It’s not serious enough for you to write a paragraph on every page about how disappointed you are.
