    mr get dough

    That song was fire
    My only critique is NoName will do some s*** that directly goes against her morals and then call herself out for it
    And im just wondering if shes going to continue to do that bc idk if just calling yourself a hypocrite in a bar is gonna get u out of the hot seat every time

    But still this album is FANTASTIC and easily her best

    Yeah that's my issue w that song tbh

  • Aug 11, 2023

    Only complaint I have besides the misguided Jay Elec verse is that the album relies a bit too heavily on repetitive hooks, especially for such a short album. I feel like 30% of the record is made up of really wordy hooks that don't add anything melodically.

    Her pen game and production choices are still great.

    Common really slid a Silo promotion in his verse lol

    noname really got an album out on hip hop 50 bday thats cool

    i love that this album is evoking such polar opposite opinions...

    like, a lot of people calling it a 10/10, while other people so focused on minor details like name drops and jay elect presence on the album

    i'm a white brazilian man, so i cannot speak about exactly what she's trying to portray on this album, but to me it sounds like a celebration of black people and all the different ways of thinking that people have

    it's a really well produced album, and her voice is immaculate as always

    there's a lot of things that i probably won't ever understand, but what i can say is that it's an amazing album by one of the most unique, talented black women of the 21st century

    it's a 9/10 for me, btw

    Who invented the voyeur?
    Fascinated with mourning, they hope the trauma destroy her
    Why everybody love a good sad song?
    A dark album, like
    Tell me that your homie dead, your mama dead
    Your brother bled along the street
    The corner where the Walgreens and White Castle is
    Ooh-wee, yeah we know that you miss him
    And if you sing about his sister, then we buyin' a ticket for real
    Front row, center, still gratitude, she love 'em
    But she can't tell if it's genuine or just consumption
    A***yze the gumption, monopolize the landscape
    She just another artist selling trauma to her fanbase

    they too focused on jay

    which I still think was an intentional decision to alienate her white fans that only wanted innocent "telefone" type raps from her.

    You and @Oblivion99 Halo Reaching that whole verse is about herself

    “And if you sing about it sister than we buying a ticket for real” going right into her talking about the audience reception to her music makes way more sense than a random jab at something kendrick hasnt talked about since u.

    It can't be both ?

    I don't think it's a diss as she shooting shots at his head, but just addressing the reality of the situation on "Why everybody love a good sad song? A dark album" when it comes to black artists, and it was a slick reference to him

    It may not be what she's going for but I don't think it's a huge reach when a few songs later she says "wrote a little bit like kenny, you'll have a life worth livin"

    all this makes more sense that it's dissing noname because...telefone was a dark ass album (hyperbolic but all things considered) lmao.

    i'm just not calling this Sundial: The Kendrick Lamar album lol.

    Niggas can't have critiques anymore lol

    What do you suggest as an alternative though because your critique is that she MIGHT make the same mistake again? So she’s not allowed to be self aware? She’s fallible and not allowed to acknowledge that or you wont like it? I just don’t under how it holds up as a critique.
