Jul 18, 2024 I know y’all would not believe me if I told you I have legitimately only listed to the album once.
Jul 18, 2024 Yeah it's weird af. Even though I don't care for either... the production and just how they still sound fine and in-tone with the album... would mean, they wouldn't ruin the s--- for me at all. It's mostly the sequencing for me too like... How you gonna go from Head Honcho, okay.. to Temporary... okay, but then back to Bad One & Tobey, then that ridiculous skit, then Save Me lmao. Nah. Coulda (baked) been (I LOVE YOU BEAN!!)... 13. GC2 14. Head Honcho 15. Guess Who's Back? 16. Tobey 17. Temporary 18. Somebody Save Me < This makes WAY more sense conceptually within the album too. As GC2 / kills Shady, then Em is the 'head hocho', then 'guess who's back?', Em's back... then a lil gloat / Em track @ Tobey... then end off with Temporary & Save me / emotional notes, which flow so much better right after 'Tobey' / Em's verse + back-to-back, and it's then... 4 'Em tracks' in a row to end off after GC2. Way he structured this segment is a mess. (n put 'Bad One' up where 'Road Rage' is / get rid of that) Amazing how sequencing alone changes s--- so much. Like, those tracks probably needed to be back to back because they're in such contrast of content to the rest.
Jul 18, 2024 something happened but man's got his confidence back a while ago and I'm loving that s---
Jul 18, 2024 There's no drums, and the entire verse is an ABAB scheme... it's the same "poetry style" he tried with Walk On Water but much better executed here in my opinion
Jul 18, 2024 Walk on Water is GOATed and Castle/Arose are LIGHT YEARS better than whatever these Kmart tracks are on this album.
Jul 18, 2024 From tonight right? Dre and Snoop are in London to launch their Gin & Juice drink. Brought out Em to do Houdini and Forgot about Dre. Snoop and Dre did all their classics as well… saw that Shaq introduced them, James LeBron is there, Idris Elba, Yungblud or however you spell it lol, etc etc…
Jul 18, 2024 I expect the Somebody Save Me video to be one of his best and clarify/add to the story of the album
Jul 18, 2024 Nah, I think the lyrics are problematic as well, he wasn't pouring his heart out imo, he wanted us to s--- his d-ck when he puts out mid like it was some MMLP s---
