was like a light 7. favorite song was A Broken Winter Break.

the new gen of TDE doesnt have the lore OG TDE had, they dont intertwine and weave their albums together, that is what TDE so strong when they started imo. it felt like every artist drop continued the stories from the other albums while still telling their own.

Cool listen off first few run throughs.

All them exclamation marks are annoying

perfectly put

They really made this man add exclamation marks to all of the songs so people might remember a few now

6-8 is a run though

If your album is making way for Jay Rock of all rappers then your career is in the toilet

the est gee record would probably work for him if it was good idk what that nigga on the phone was talking about lol

Reason still hasn’t fixed that hook issue. It was a little better but his poor hooks stick out like a bad thumb.

And then he has some lines that got you questioning if he ever read a book.

Some gems but his first album was definitely better.

Call Me was really onto something then he just ends the story so abruptly

I think TDE underestimated how much of an impact the family vibe they created had on their success. It went from a group of dudes that came up and developed their sounds together to a bunch of random ass people.

Isaiah and SZA are like the younger siblings so they were always gonna be okay but these other guys are just randos

nah I was right

too much beat is so good

hollywood cole really got a distinct sound

he could not afford for this to not be a step up from the last one

I will say that whole podcast whether it was promo or not worked. Got me to listen, didn't even know prior he had an album dropping

The whole Black Hippy thing was legit, that’s why I even cared about the rest of them to begin with.. sad we’ll never get that album.

Reason dope but he can’t do it on his own.

Facts

man i f*** with this album a lot

feels like his best one yet

Reason falls in the same category as Dave East imo and both of them are guilty pleasures of mine kind of lmao

Co sign

Call Me! on repeat

It’s because the OG core were also a group, these new niggas are just separate artist they signed. I so t even think I seen a photo shoot wit them together. Even Zay and SZA were close

He went on Joe Budden complaining about not having the “A-List” feature but I’m tryna figure out who would that be for Reason and why would he think he’s there yet. He hasn’t made a “joint” yet.

Family First is the oneeeee

u gotta go harder if u gonna s*** on this nigga

full blast or put that s*** in neutral lil nigga
