Listened today and I think the strongest stuff on here is the run of No Trespassing through Punk Rocky
Listened again. I like it more than I initially did but it’s still kind of boring and after such a long break this is what he comes back with?
"STOLE YA FLOW" is fucking heat kind of surprised how boring the bonus tracks are in comparison to the rest of the album
I gave this a second listen yesterday and honestly my main issue is that he just doesn't.... sell me on anything. The production is great, the melodies are there, but he just gives absolutely no emotion vocally, he sounds like he's just there to finish the songs, I don't actually buy anything he is saying
It was mostly a joke I still give this a solid 7/10 and I really see stay here 4 life as a solid potential radio song I do enjoy that Houston throwback sound
My only critique is the lyrics are occasionally distractingly bad, hearing production and flows like this gives an expectation of at least some level of cleverness or something memorable, def the one thing that sticks out. Also kinda disappointed in a lot of the features on here, Whiskey is still prob my fav, Stole Ya flow through Playa is my fav 3 track run, kinda wish there was more stuff like the first half of the title track on here too
"WHISKEY" is awesome. I just don't really gel with the last few tracks. Probably a solid 7.5 for me though, really enjoyable and easy to vibe with
STOP SNITCHING is by far and away the best track on here and it’s not even close. Sauce Walka absolutely lays it down on his verse.
I think my ranking would look something like this: TESTING LIVE.LOVE.A$AP AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP Don’t Be Dumb LONG.LIVE.A$AP
I consider that par for the course tbh. He’s always been a curator and an aesthete more than an artist.
