Feb 20, 2015 If you take out Play No Games, I feel the same about the string of Blessings, AYF, IDFWU, and Paradise too.
Feb 20, 2015 "I'm here for a good time, not a long time" Drake reiterating one of George Strait's greatest lessons
Feb 21, 2015 this is dope, got two listens in. I like hall of fame alot but this feels more consistent, i hate a couple songs on hof. so far none on this (IDFWU might get annoying but i dont listen to radio so i dont skip it right now)
Feb 21, 2015 Album is average with a few bright spots. Typical Sean mixed with some off brand Travis influence
Feb 22, 2015 great album. a lot better than hof. imo this is by far seans most consistent project. fav. songs from the album are omcctw, blessed and all your fault.
Feb 22, 2015 I've had this album on repeat for days, and I'm still not tired of it. I have a good feeling about the long term replayability of this
Feb 22, 2015 He literally had Travis hop on a track just to yell STRAIGHT UP in the background. It's not aa prevalent as I thought it would be but you can tell he heavily f---s with Travis and that's kinda reshaped his whole sound (not drastically, it's a subtle influence, but an influence nonetheless)
Feb 22, 2015 Apparently Travis had a verse and he cut it, like he cut Ye's verse off of Blessed. I think Travis could have added to the song, but it was a good decision to cut back on guest verses so the album isn't so bloated with features - there are already quite a few. The only song that sounds anything like Travis is the one he's on IMO. What specifically did you think Travis influenced on this?
Feb 23, 2015 I feel like big sean thought of cutting them he said before that he goes on tracks with like kanye and jay and still manages to hold his own. So I guess what he did is recorded after the push from them and then just ditched their verses because he had something better than he would without the competition. I also feel like control had a big impact on the way the album was made
Feb 24, 2015 Great album. Didnt expect this from Sean. Production is awesome and he does his thing. Back to more rough lyrics and less party and stuff.
