Crying at Joe Budden saying the skits are the highlight of the album
He was talkin tbh. Idk what he sees in Giveon that's so much better but both them niggas weak and delivered nothing with these highly anticipated projects
Musically the album is pleasing to listen to. I deleted the skits, like most skits after the first time around they become tiresome. Lyrically nothing special at all.
Listened to this in full the other day and its nice. Pretty solid project but i could have done without the skits. Especially that last one.
I also see that it is performing well commercially which good for Brent because he has been grinding for a min but this project isn't really structured at all and often just feels like freestyles with cool beats loosely strung together through the skits. Cool project but don't see myself regularly listening to this. Also regarding the last skit i don't feel like that s*** was necessary at all and dude took it to a weird place just for shock value. I can see how listening to something like that could be triggering for some people which i'm not really sure is worth it in the grand scheme of the project
this broke my heart fr bc talk 2 u is so good
Finally sat down to listen to this.
This dude is so corny.
Album’s not even bad but s*** like that Oblivion skit had me rolling my eyes into the back of my head like The Undertaker.
I feel like Abel has tackled all of Brent’s lyrical content with the tact and logic that Brent lacks.
abel tackled with much more subtlety and nuance but i appreciate brent’s approach, i think villains theme laid out his intent p well
Song would be one of his best if Tyler wasn’t on it, don’t think he fits there.
not at all it’s frustrating bc i love T but that verse is garbage
I think Tyler is a pretty boring guy in real life in the sense that he doesn’t live some extravagant life or have some wildly interesting perspective on things which is fine but I just don’t think he be having nothing to rap about fr. He had all that angst when he came up and had the “fuck the world” thing to rap about which work. But now that he’s older and we’re older, bruh don’t be keeping my interest with his perspective
this is exactly why call me if you get lost was good but not great
i get he wanted to make a fun album and focus on his flows but most of the lyrical content is cringe coming from a nigga pushing 30
like how many times can he rap about unrequited love in this « you owe me, i’m so great » kinda way
all this on top of the girl the album is about being like a decade year younger, idek
dude has a bitterness that at this point in his career, i can’t really understand or relate to. it’s cool when he talks about the emptiness of materialism, but it doesn’t really get deeper than those surface levels « all these cars without friends » bars
im scared flower boy might be his lyrical peak, which is a shame because that album felt like it found a really beautiful balance
I do a agree with this. Though granted i think this is much stronger than his previous bodies of work. With his last album I didn't have much criticism for Brent himself; because his vocals were on point. But something about it felt flat. I feel like here The production, voice, and writing is all there.
I guess I had to say whats missing, is that he somehow, doesn't sound like he's borrowing from his influences too much; while simultaneously he doesn't sound quite "unique". I'm sure theres a better way to word that.
Overall though I would say his work with Sonder is probably his best and most refreshing work. I don't understand why its taking them ages to drop a project.
im ngl given dudes personality and interviews, he’s not interested in being the lead singer of sonder
he talked about how he refused features all the time bc he didn’t wanna be a r&b niggs that did hooks for rappers and boxed in to that
given his recent tweets too on how he already did them sonder songs, he probably not interested in that sound off the strength that he wants to brand himself as his own artist
more power to him, but we’ll see how long he can sustain it
i really liked this album but i get most peoples crticism. it’s the same criticism i give to most artists. but brent is the truth to me, his stuff just clicks. he either gonna get better with time or fall of quickly
we’ll see
Tyler one of the worst features out there these days
Guy is just so pretentious he thinks every verse is a joke he doesnt have to take seriously
Honestly surprised artists have accepted the bs verses he has given
Villains theme 
Wasteland 
Being the antagonist in all the skits
I’m putting it together and it has me thinking. I didn’t know he could be so toxic. I thought he was always a sensual introvert from the block with an edge that captivated women. This album made me dislike him because of the picture he painted. Good job, I guess
Don't really get the hate for Tyler's verse; and didn't realize ppl disliked it like that.
Sounds perfectly fine for me
like 90% of rap features on R&B songs are not "necessary". So even the criticism of "his verse wasn't needed" doesn't hold to me
Tyler one of the worst features out there these days
bro messed up that one song on dawn fm so bad

YOU GONE SIGN THIS PRENUP YOU GONE SIGN THIS PRENUP
aight i gave it one more spin today in the car.
all mine slaps. wasting time is cool, drake slid.
two more songs i thought were decent were bad luck and role model. the-dream's swag is def on that one a lil bit. that "flawless, flawless, baby what you call this" part. kinda hard.
idk who the joony nigga is but he gave that FYTB record some much needed energy, he was flowin over them drums. all the other features are bad, but somehow i feel like he needed more of them?
aside from that? it's a no dawg. i take nothing away from this. it's not super well-performed imo. it's not very emotionally gripping. it's not fun or clever. s*** is just there like the majority of his music. meh.
Tyler one of the worst features out there these days
