track 14. UNGHHHHHHHH. this is nasty.

track 15. was gonna skip until the beat dropped. skipped tho wack.

track 16. FIRE. classic sample. he layered in some other shit tho with the strings. this is nasty.

CONCLUSION -

i didnt give this nearly a thorough enough listen. the production imo was a little too much. shit was overproduced. not just as far as the singing and switching between artists and shit, but the beats themselves changed up alot too

feels too modern for me to dig it on first listen but i'm a haterjust feels like he's trying to fit in with where hip hop is now, instead of defining how hip hop sounds. but keep in mind during my quick listen i'm comparing him to his own work. the chronic changed hip hop. the chronic 2001, when dropped in 99 helped define how the 2000's would sound. this on the other hand sounds like him copying the styles of others from the past 10 years instead of putting something out others would copy

on first listen animals is my favorite shit. then probably the short track with game.
