    To be honest, I wasn't crazy about Ramona Park and s/t is good but not as good as his older stuff, but Vince has a good enough track record and such a compelling artistic vision that I'll always be hyped for what he's doing next

    Not in love with the single after first listen, kinda just feels like more of the "rapping and bored" vibes, and I really don't like the spoken word-type chorus, if you can even call it a chorus

    Into the single. Ramona Park was a miss for me, but as long as his projects continue to have distinct visions that set one apart from the next then I’ll always be hyped for more

    I'll write you into all of my songs Supporter

    Song is ok, I don’t really feel anything for it but hope it makes more sense in context. I’m just at the point where it seems like he doesn’t even want to do this lol

    Im not sure he will ever be able to top Big Fish Theory for me. Excited to listen though. Love a short album rollout!

    song was cool, 100% sounds like a slightly darker version of a late-era Mac Miller song. Even Vince's flow at the start of the first verse reminds me of Mac so much

    Loved S/T, but didn't give much time to Ramona Park. Enjoy this new song so I'm excited to hear the rest.

    Pretty cool this came out of nowhere and is coming out on Friday, hyped!

    I also think S/T is my favorite Vince album but I did listen to Ramona Park a lot when it dropped.

    yeah this is doing nothing for me. hope it hits better in context w/ the LP. but also hope this isn't indicative of the direction he's going
     
  12. Liked but didn't love Ramona Park but I think S/T is his best. This is aight, his vocals seem low in the mix. Cautiously optimistic, he usually comes through with something solid. Lol at that Donda artwork though

  14. There’s a bunch coming out this week that I’m very excited for, happy to get a head start on this at 6:00 so I have less of a decision to make at 9:00

    Children’s Song beat is wild
     
  20. The end of Etouffee! I needed that to go on way longer haha

    He’s got that Q-Tip flow on the first half of Justin

    Very neat little perfect loop of the last track going back into the first. Imagine if the vinyl had a locked groove

    This is a bit sleepier than I needed it to be after the last one, but across the board I think he sounds better here and I like the instrumentation more

    Really like “Children’s Song,” “Etoufee,” and “Little Homies.” But yeah, a lot of this is still pretty sleepy.

    This one won’t ever touch his best but I do enjoy it a lot more than Ramona Park just because he cuts out the filler.
