cudi having 2 good projects is a terrible take

what happened in regards to label politics

Yea I get what you mean by this he sacrificed focus and precision for experimentation and an even more abstract approach than ALLA. But that was the beauty of ALLA, it captured the exact message Rocky wanted to deliver while remaining this feeling of being the cool dude. Rocky felt insecure on Testing. But tbh that’s what I love about it so damn much. Even on Tony Tone he sounds a little shaken up and it’s actually a humbling feeling hearing the guy you think is the coolest person in the world sound shook on a song he’s trynna sound hard on (pause) I can respect tf outta that and relate to it in a sense. I feel like Rocky is still trynna find himself as a musician because he’s just not satisfied with the black/white/purple tumblr aesthetic we all want him to be. He wants to be himself and I appreciate him doing that in front of us, opening himself up for criticism. Reminds me of Kanye in a really different way.

Rocky is like shy Kanye

Where’s it rank for you in Rocky album?

never listened to i decided, ill check it later. also havent listened to dldt so ill do that too.

i think ye is a cool project with some good ideas but it didnt feel fully fleshed out which is why a lot of people didnt like it. though i think that adds a certain quality to it, that record really represents that moment in time due to the seemingly rushed nature of the production and even the cover being taken on ye's phone the day of release

He was also most hated man in the planet when he dropped it I think that will forever be a stigma with that album

it was my favourite after it dropped. ima run his discog back soon and see where it lands, though i imagine it'll still be top 2. my ranking was testing>alla>live love>long live

Going off PSG, gotta shoutout V.I.C.E.S by Dash also

just finished this, i like the cloudy production a lot

Both MOTM 1 and 2 are goat

real. vices is a dope tape, you posted my fav track off it too

2nd one is weak.

1st one is a classic.

KSG is a classic too.

Everything else was mid.

I Decided was a horrible follow up to DSP.

Same way HOF was a weak chaser for Finally Famous

Brighton Beach might be my favorite tho

He got shelved because he wasnt making the kind of hits Atlantic wanted at the time.

I really wanna do a whole post on this album. The whole story is so convoluted, it deserves one.

do it and tag me in a comment i wanna read that

its too bad dash and retch fell out, they had such great chemistry

I know fam

I f*** with RetcH way more then Da$h at this point.

But La Cienega is a personal fave of mine.

yoo i completely forgot about retch

His last single.

His last 3 projects have been dope tho hes on some Future s*** for the most part.

His After The Verdict tape has sprinkling of his old sound but I think hes just in a different place creatively.

Heard he was locked up recently but havent seen anything confirmed online.

This was actually a great album.
Dont think it was overlooked or underrated

Ill have to peep his stuff. Havent checked him out since lean & neck
