    his tape gave me that feeling.
    first album fell flat mostly for me
    this sophomore is dope so far though.

    like i said, i'm only 4 listens deep, but i'm enjoying this more than I did any other album this year.

    i thought there was a play on words there somewhere with ALLAH and 2nd coming but im getting my fairytales mixed up #edgy
    Not really being dismissive. His last album gave of the same impressions, just not to as great of a degree. All of his "progression" boils down to what? The singing on LSD?

    i enjoyed it a lot after a few listens (all in the last 2ish days to be fair), but im already over most of it.

    like, i feel like i have the go to rocky i need already. and this didnt really add to that if that makes any sense.

    but im not knocking the highlights. definitely being overrated as an album as a whole

    @BigCountry you're wrong and right...saying there's not as much progression from 1017 thug to Barter 6 is ludicrous. But yeah its "accessible thug." Still a better crafted album without a doubt imo. More concise, stronger highlights, better performance from the main mc.

    im just saying ALLA feels like a bigger project than it really is.

    maybe im wrong

    no offensive to Rocky but could this be the Big Sean DSP effect all over again?

    some rappers are so likable/inoffensive that they're music is just automatically received better than it should be

    too blessed to have a mixtape like that, and an album like Take Care around the same time when i was in high school

    also i keep saying it, but holy ghosts >>>


    can we just talk about that and stop pretending the rest of the album is littered with filler?

    Nah, I just thought with his debut he tried to recreate his mixtape to mixed results - there were some good tracks on there like Goldie/Suddenly/the title track, but the most of it fell flat.

    I wasn't talking about Thug's progression from 1017 Thug to now, because clearly he's progressed a ton since then. I meant from Rich g--- to B6, which I suppose isn't fair considering how close together they were released. I just agree with @Mike Tyson that this album gave me that same feeling his mixtape did, whereas B6 didn't really feel different than what I've heard from Thug the past year - which is fine, because it's great too.

    it doesn't have one, it just has a sound/identity that carries through the entire album.

    realizing that now. But d---, i would buy a Q and Asap collab album 12 times and keep 11 in plastic cause thats how classic it would be. Electric body is 10/10
