Vince Staples - Vince Staples & Ramona Park Broke My Heart (2021) Album • Page 20

this is real good. most I've liked him since BFT. production is lovely

 

It took a while for S/T to grow one me but once it did it was my album of the year 2021 - I think this could do the same. Excited to spend more time with it this week. Also if anyone hasn't seen the Tiny Desk performance for S/T it might make you appreciate those songs more:

 

On my second listen now, and I'm frustrated with Vince's delivery on some of these songs TBH. The lyrics are great but I can't help but wanting more out of his performance. I'm also seeing there are some fans of the production on this record, but it really isn't doing much for me... It's like a Summertime '06 vibe but more straightforward and less energy.

Sad to say this is the first album by him I'm not fully buying into (of course, there are a couple of great songs but the project as a whole just isn't hitting)

 

its definitely growing on me on my 4th and 5th listens.

 

Unrelated because I loved this from the get-go but a drive through some gloomy weather with this playing made me love it even more.

 

I still get frustrated with his monotone sometimes too but I think the writing on here is good enough to overcome that

the second verse on Player Ways, man

 

Player Ways is a highlight for me right now too, lots to love on here - need more time with it to digest.

 

I was driving around at 1 am with when sparks fly on repeat and folks that hit different

 

Finally going to listen to this with my sister tomorrow lmao

Leading up to this though I've been doing another discography run and I want to rank his albums because I've never done it before. S/t definitely grew on me a lot but I still can't put it above anything from his 2013-2017 run

1. Big Fish Theory
2. Summertime 06
3. Stolen Youth
4. Prima Donna
5. Hell Can Wait
6. Vince Staples
7. FM!
8. Shyne Coldchain II
9. Shyne Coldchain I
10. Winter in Prague

It's pretty much all great though

 

Aye is sooooo good

 

good placement of Stolen Youth I approve

 

Papercuts with headphones hits different. There’s a lot of little details in that beat that I wasn’t hearing initially.

 

this and the new denzel did nothing for me on my first listen. both are my top records of the year so far now lol.

 

My favorite review place

 

Okay so I have finally listened. This kinda had the opposite problem for me than the self-titled album on one listen; for the last album, his delivery was a little disappointing to me but I loved the beats, and on this one I love his rapping but the production is kind of boring to me. I'm sure it will grow on me the more I listen, I'm just more used to Vince albums being immediate for me instead of growers, which the last two now have been

Highlights on first listen were Aye, Magic, When Sparks Fly, Papercuts, Lemonade and Rose Street, which is a pretty damn good number

 

It's a grower for sure. Enjoying this more with each listen.

 

Yup, growing on me too. Been pretty much on repeat all week so far. It's not my fault THE BLUES flows perfectly back into THE BEACH.

 

I think my only complaint is I feel like the lil baby verse is weak compared to other features he has done for other artists tbh.

 

Never seen this before. So funny.

 

got an 8 from the 4rk

 

Can you
Imagine?

 

Money in the mattress

 

Steve me you and Comedown should drive around at 3 am and listen to when sparks fly on repeat the vibes
