    I’m the exact same, I’ve got the old head mentality but streaming at times has pushed me into the new mindset because it’s so easy to flick through different projects now & just hear a little bit & decide if it’s good for the gym, for the whip, for parties etc. & the craft can get lost this way. I think it takes your own volition to use streaming to your advantage whilst keeping the old mindset, which means playlists for casual listening & still going to albums when you want to focus.

    This album has a few cuts that can definitely be played in settings not pertaining to music listening in itself, but at least half of it I’d say isn’t catered for it, at least less than GKMC & d---. to me, which personally is fine.

    I can understand casual music listeners like in Koolo’s example to not feel most of this music based on that circumstance, but acknowledging that it’s not for you rather than projecting it onto an opinion of the music itself would make more sense to me than pretending no one listens to music on its own lol.

    I hate this argument lmao, not all music is meant to be played in that setting. That's like shi--ing on Radiohead for not making party or gym music.

    'my girl trans' by makonnen is the closest thing I can think of lol

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate its intention and it's grown on me though despite coming across as a bit Macklemore-ian. Like I said I don't think it's any of those things I mentioned outright, I think there's probably a small bit of truth to most of the criticisms and praises and that's ok. In an album that largely deals with personal flaws and is flawed in and of itself it's sort of fitting that way.

    I’m relistening to TPAB and I definitely enjoy MMBS more. It’s grown on me after a handful of listens.

    TPAB continues to be overrated
