Finally spending some time with this. It's cool. Not on board with all the hype necessarily but I like it
Never thought I would say this after my first listen but with more time I think this just topped Flower Boy for me.
Alright, gonna give this another full listen. Been a week or more since I have, see if it hits me differently this time.
So there's quite a few hooks, melodies, moments, etc... that I absolutely love and get caught in my head, but the whole thing flows through and none of it sticks as a cohesive great song. And by the time I'm done, it's just like "okay" and wishing that the little moments I liked were somehow fully realized. It sucks, I was really looking forward to this album.
I would give it some more time. On my first listen I was comparing it too much to flower boy and not enjoying it for being it's own thing. I now like it more than flower boy.
This is probably my third or fourth full listen in the last 2 weeks or so. And I'm perfectly happy with it not being another Flower Boy. I didn't want or expect that. I just don't like this album is all.
Hmmm I don’t know if I want to sacrifice a prime Friday night during opening weekend if TIFF to see him, but the last tour was just so good
Will be there. Still hope that at some point he adds some live instruments to his show but the production on this should be nuts as his first arena tour.
100% going, this show will be amazing if his Gov Ball performance is anything to go by and I've always wanted to see Goldlink too I can't believe this will be my third time seeing Jaden Smith in a year and a half lol
And they're outdoors! Was going to do Buffalo to Toronto trip but I'm thinking Buffalo to Pitt instead. Would much rather have general admission for this one.
To this day I am convinced that DJ Khaled is the fictional alter-ego of a comedian who has been filming a Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping-esque mockumentary for the better part of a decade
