Did someone force him to record this album or something ? it seems like he barely wanted to record it
He wanted to hurry up and finish his contract obligations to Atlantic.
Haven't spun it yet to find my gems, but I can't even be mad after how fire Back For Everything was. He better start off his Capitol situation the right way though.
There’s a solid 5 track run or something towards the end but the album drops off on the last 4 tracks imo
And the first half i only really like 3-4 tracks
His beat selection seems to be slipping too. Some of these just don’t have that oomph
Plus the singing can be grating at times even tho kodak always had a strong ear for Melodies

People forget his first little EP back was barely listenable. Idk how he then turned around and made the most Billboard ready stuff of his career. Clearly that's missing again.
My takeaways from this
Pistols & pearls
Get away but there’s no Kodak
Dope boy magic
Tryna figure why
Beretta love
Die today
Gunsmoke town
That’s for real
A beautiful rainbow
Loe Shimmy has the potential to be a successful pop artist. That hook is not hip hop at all. So beautiful

Kodak was never a melody rapper like that. Dude made his fame being a rapper rapper. Even when he first started, he wasn’t tryna hit super long notes with the autotune. It’s annoying af. These artists need to realize not everyone can be Thug. Listen to how he sounds on Molly vs now
Kodak’s ear for beats and melodies is the best from his generation, might be the best in rap across all generations right now 🔥🔥
damn surprised KTT saying an album isn’t good on release y’all usually overrate almost everything on the first week
Stay
Snipers and robbers
Beretta love
Flirting with death
Down with you
Gunsmoke down
Tryna figure why
Murder mystery
Dope boy magic
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nah he still was very melodic tbh, like listen to s*** like tunnel vision, like dat, & already hee always been melodic just not in a auto tune singing way
But yeah he still been a rapper rapper at the same time
I don't even like this new generation at all, I like my Griselda's and Ransom and 38 Spesh of the world but KODAK BLACK is on his way to becoming goated as a Pac and Biggie and no one can tell me anything else.
Not even a lyricist, but dude has a gift that no one else has, that voice and flow. It's not even complex and its dirty and grimy, but it sounds heavenly.

Tunnel vision, melody for sure. But didn’t even think of Like Dat or Already as melodic. Already, yes but don’t really consider Like Dat melodic. That said, dude is trying to hold notes in autotune and it just sounds bad, he can’t sing. Even his raps aren’t hitting anymore. Trying to fit in too many words within the bars. His old music especially institution days, bars were simple and effective and often times slow.

I def feel u, kodak is still young af for being in the game for about 10 years now. Hopefully he gets reinvigorated
