Respect
my big bro and cousins had rap playing out the womb but i think i first heard grindin', virginia, and when the last time around 6 or so at cookouts in the apartments.
thats prob my first exposure with pharrel if you dont count the tracks with snoop.

No yeah, definitely not a fan of til the casket drops, and tend to memory hole it because I've never liked it, even when I was younger

I think that what I'm truly saying with that descriptor is that the music is extremely safe, and using that simile provides an image/sonic profile to those with the contextual background to understand what I mean. I've never heard them go so safe, except maybe for til the casket drops where they either

A. Don't sound as raw/hungry
B. Are complemented by production that seems to follow the current trends more than playing to the artist's strengths

And that's kind of what I'm feeling here. Mixed with some inherent internet hyperbole. But I truly don't like this too much except for a song or 2, so be it notwithstanding because it's not on the tracklist. This feels truly commercial, safe, and trying to be done to cater towards a wider audience. who enjoys whatever singing Pharrell is trying all over this, and beats with way less of a knock. And you're right, because now I'm realizing the TTCD similarities that I didn't think of before

And sure, the quality/volume isn't the best, the audio skips and it's missing verses, but I played this exclusively in my car with the s*** on blast so I heard everything, wasn't too quiet for me.

This s***'s phenomenal & the only one's hating are Drake/Trav fans

well i can confidently say with 1 day left, not listening to the leak is pretty easy now

Damn my condolences

that’s so fire

yea my whole family white as f*** from rural illinois i grew up on hair rock and whatever was on the radio

heard virgina for the first rim early this year and i’ve been obsessed since

i loved it

haven’t gone back in 9 years tho

Chains & Whips easily SOTY

quality is not that bad. not sure why everyone saying that. certainly good enough so if you aint liking it now you wont like it tomorrow

what do you mean matches it

I just wanna say naming your son Brixx is insane

genuinely a great name too

You don't fw so be it like that?

nah its fire. i just meant what do mean by matches. like the production feel? the vibe? or just fire song?

Showbiz! out now tbh

underrated

Wait so is the leak the vinyl version? Haven't seen so be p2 on there

correct

Yeah this rip leak don’t pass the whip test.. not listening anymore until release

Lmao that's exactly what I did I downloaded the leak, played one song, it sounded super low quality in the car so I'ma wait for tomorrow night

Link?

So Be It is out on streaming? Where?

Lol I'll just wait until Friday then it's not that serious

Like if it reaches the same quality of that joint
