    Not really my first time hearing it, but it was my first time actually looking into the lyrics and stuff instead of just playing it in my car.
    Wow, I underestimated it! :whew:

    Songs I really liked (not in order):
    • f--- Up Some Commas
    • Throw Away (This one was a surprise that I usually would skip over in the car. The lyrics and concept on here :banderas: along with the beat change up is crazy)
    • My Savages
    • Hardly
    • Mad Luv
    • Codeine Crazy
    Songs I liked but aren't my favorite:
    • Radical
    • Monster
    • After That
    The rest were kind of "meh", but the fact that 9/16 tracks (9/14 if you don't count the intro and Abu Boomin) are great is pretty impressive! When @Narsh said there's too much filler on this project he's right, but if the filler wasn't there this would easily be one of my top 3 mixtapes. :rejoice:

    Thoughts?

    my thoughts are you should take this same approach with Beast Mode and have your mind blown (my 2nd favorite project of the year).

    but yeah man monster is a lot of peoples favorite simply because of how great its highlights are

    At first I thought you were talking about the Monster by Eminem. Was wondering wtf were all those other songs you were talking about. Rofl

    That's what I hear, I still have to go in on the other 2. I'm in the same boat with them where I played them in my car but didn't really look into lyrics or content.

    March Madness though :rejoice::jr:

    Beast Mode - 8.8
    56 Nights - 8.5
    Monster - 8.0

    Roughly in my opinion

    I feel like by the end of my listening spree I might actually drop the $60 on that Future 3-Peat Tour Pack...:SADWAYNE:

    2nd only to beast mode!

    But seriously, what places 56 night above beast mode for you?

    I personally feel like he's a noticeably a worse rapper on monster (in parts he's brilliant without a doubt (my savages, codeine crazy etc)) than beast mode or 56 nights. I don't think there's any distinction to be made like that between BM and 56 nights

    So what it comes down to is production, content and obviously individual song quality. the two-post monster projects drastically cut down on the size of their tracklists and that definitely helps them both out.

    I love the atmosphere of BM. Zaytovens production has me on cloud 9 most of the time. To me, Lay Up and Peacoat are as good as anything on 56 nights except March Madness
