"And I ain't gotta lie when I say I'm independent"

Danny is legendary for this line while at the same time lying about being independent

it feels so weird that Tantor is on this album, i feel like it was a weird single choice and also sticks out on the album like a sore thumb

It grew on me a little but yeah I feel this

YBP has such a Outkast vibe to it.

Works great imo as like a projection of his d***gy persona to the world while he's suffering from it on the inside

The vibe I get from YBP is it sounds like if Danny and Bruiser Wolf were on a Demon Days era Gorillaz track

It needed a banger

Almost felt like a sequel to ain’t it funny to me

Feels more like the Goldust of Quaranta imo

I don’t think Quaranta really has an Ain’t It Funny type track, maybe Jenn’s Terrific Vacation but that’s more the When It Rain of Quaranta

Melon review:

7

Quaranta is probably my least favorite of his going back to Old but that's more of a compliment to his general quality than anything

Its much needed for the balance of the album, if anything i wish there was one more song like it

It’s always interesting how entirely unconcerned Danny is with showing how barred up he is
He just wants to make good music

Both singles are skips for me, I hate to say it
They’re cool, they’re out there, but they don’t go anywhere
They work better as singles / music videos

🤣🤣🤣

his reasoning spot on, I felt this was a good but not great album for the same reason; that the lyrics and the way he explores his emotions on some tracks (like down wit it for example, imo) are just kinda surface level

"Never would've thought I'd f*** up who I'm closest with
All my fault, for most of it
Thought I knew everything, but don't know s***
That's why I'm so sick
Lost in my emotions, the path that I chosen
Left a nigga broken, can't stay focused
Hard for me to think
Tryna kill my pain, so I drink"

What about this is surface level?

Super excited for whatever this live show/tour is. One because he’s been talking a lot in interviews about how much more he enjoys performing now that he’s sober. And he was already dope live. Two because this album is half an hour long and I’m curious what else, if anything, he might include in the setlist. Like is he still comfortable doing songs like Die Like A Rockstar?

I remember him saying earlier this year that he’s gonna cut certain d*** endorsing songs from his set list, not all of them though

This album gonna go down as his most polarizing with critics I feel like

A lot of these songs sound like Auntie Diaries

I like the tenderness in his delivery

fantano giving this a 7 is his biggest L in a minute

really disappointing album

He had a point.
