They exist, damn near half the album was Kendrick songs

This beef made him turn into Dax or something

Something about Q going through it and having writers block

Habits

blank face
oxymoron
habits and contradictions
setbacks
blue lips
crash talk

It wasn't just Dot, it was multiple people on TDE.

I think it was a mistake as well, but one misstep from Q isn't the end of the world.

Damn that low? Speaks to how strong his discography is because BL is far from a trash album imo

Setbacks being higher than Blue Lips is jokes and that's coming from someone who finds that album to be very underrated in Q's catalog

I think they were just all trying to eat off the DAMN sessions between Black Panther, Jay Rock Redemption and that album, but they stretched it too thin for crash talk

I thought it had something to do with Q being depressed when Mac died

My ranking is

BF
BL
Oxy
H&C
Setbacks
Crash Talk

When TDE had that DAMN copy album obsession

He said they started asking if he was good mentally

Nah most of Crash Talk was done when Mac passed. He even played a version of the album for Mac in July 2018.

The album was supposed to drop November 2018 and got delayed because of Q grieving Mac.

Kendrick lowkey gotta step in now

okay okay i see you like the more artsy oriented Q

Yeah it was something like that.

From his own words, I'm paraphrasing, he said something among the lines "Kendrick heard the album I was recording, and said damn you depressed or something? The album I was making sounded too much like Blank Face. So I made Crash Talk."

Truth be told, BF-H&C are all fantastic albums to me. Def the strongest disco in TDE after Dot.

Setbacks is good but he was still developing as an artist.

and CrasH Talk is mid, but still has some great songs like Numb Numb Juice, 5200, Dangerous, CrasH and Attention

im taking a younger & hungrier Q over washed golf dad Q

Did Joey badass take out a whole coast

nigga az chike got more busy on that album than Q did

They remade the X song off of Black Panther soundtrack like 3 times and they somehow thought we wouldn't catch on

Strangely enough, all co produced by !llmind

Obviously I can’t prove it but Q seemed to be very hands on with crash talk era

Redemption and CrasH Talk both had DAMN scraps
