    I can't wait for this. I'm not sure how I feel about him going at Queen Tay like that, though. :beli:

    No but a b-----r wouldn't fit anyways. All Day is literally too monotone.

    The whole album is just arrangements and incredible moments of ups and downs each song. The re-arranged Wolves has more depth and range than a lot of people's albums do.

    Can You Be was not on the version I had, it could be added still idk. I'm missing at least 2 songs by my count, possible 3 depending on what happened the last few days.

    Wolves is re-arranged. The beat is the same as well as the vocals mostly (I think Vic Mensa has a brand new intro), but the song is incredible. It elevates in stages now, where Vic Mensa is rapping the intro over light production, and then the layers bolster and bolster, eventually coming down at points too.

    The songs that were mixed properly were all like that - carried by arrangement. That's why I feel like when he does finish the mix on Famous and Waves and the other rough tracks I had, this album is going to be a journey. So hype for tomorrow man, dying to hear this.

    You could compare Famous to it because it opens with a Nina Simone sample as well, but nothing really has the energy of Blood On The Leaves.

    There are songs that are better than Blood On The Leaves on this though. At least 3 by my count.

    What DOES waves sound like then? It's only 2 minutes and he was planning to name the album based on the song? It must be amazing then

    The Waves I have is very very far from being finished, I can guarantee the final version won't be 2 minutes long. The entire song just ends abruptly and "CHECKMATE" echoes for like 30 seconds too.

    Waves is the worst song on the version I have, and being that it's so rough, I have high hopes for the final version given that he made it the title song at one point.

    Kanye says "step up in this b---- like... I'm the one your b---- like".

    How does NMPILA compare to the rest of the album?
    It doesn't seems to match your description of the album, real friends neither (even if think they will be both re-arrange for the album)
    Thanks for answering the questions it's amazing :)

    No, he innovates through his production on this. NMPILA is the most old school beat on here.

    Real Friends acts like an interlude before Wolves, it fits perfect.

    NMPILA I'm not sold on yet, but I mean he barely raps on the back half of album so it's a nice change I guess.
