    As good as sacrifices is (10/10) it wasn’t mixed well to me. Sounds like Venus is screeching throughout

    These rnb and jazzy cuts are 10/10.

    What did Ib do on the project? Mixing and ordering? He's talking a lot

    he is the executive producer, mainly he determined what went on it and what got cut. and he sequenced it.. pretty sure cole had a big say in all that too, but even cole said he let Ib handle most of it, he said it was Ib's album basically

    That's pretty dope. Everyone branching out. He did well, especially for a compilation album with this many artists

    Retrospect will be very kind to ROTD 3, we're gonna be looking back years from now when these guys continue to elevate the Dreamville brand (from this point on their name is in the mainstream lexicon) and how their careers unfolded. The album isn't so much as a classic, but there will be a great fondness for it, hopefully this won't be the last Revenge of the Dreamers!

    The documentary and promotion is a thing of beauty, probably one of the most universally applauded moves in recent memory in the hip-hop community.

    PTSD was some real s--- man. I felt the entire song on some personal s---. Just amazing.

    Sacrifices hit home too. I have no clue what Johnny Venus is rapping about, but it’s great lol
