Idk ILCK sounds cool af to me

I will say tho it is funny how oddly similar sounding these two consecutive tracks are. They sound the same but different pitches

Album still fire all the way thru to me

this such a nerdy ass thread lmao

fellas be having discourse on musicians like they scouting for who to draft to the nba

You could still rap about that s*** but we gotta stop acting like these niggas are so “innovative”

and it's same few niggas who've been doing it nonstop for a week no in every thread

If you gonna rap about shallow s***, at least have f***ing bars

Just cuz the lyrics aren’t innovative don’t mean the rest can’t be either

I think it’s really unique how he’s fused rap and rock unlike other artists who do it. His style is more laid back where someone like Uzi’s more rock type tracks on Pink Tape are more aggressive.

And honestly I really like his Melodies allot idk any one else I really like maybe other than Don toliver when it’s coming to melodies.

I was speaking in general I don’t listen to any opium rapper or niggas that ride that wave. I stopped at Uno and Fauni and moved on from that scene idk what’s going on wit these new niggas.

Idk dawg to me it’s like ur saying man Shaq f***ing sucks cuz he can’t shoot free throws

it was a different time

a lot of homoerotic jokes now are just normalized. if peep came out around this time perhaps ppl would joke about that more, esp considering he's bi lol

also i thought u meant by niggas u meant women cause i also see women into lone

Intentional disrespect

I know opium is a “carti factory”

Guess I’ll be stuck behind

Ok, let me put it this way. If your lyrics aren't there, then you have to compensate in other areas. I think he compensated well with his production and flows on No Stylist. ILCK was the album where the production and his flows got so bland to the point that I had no choice but to pay attention to the lyrics, which were of course trash. So basically this nigga has no attributes now. No appeal because his sound is already diluted

BRO PLEASE SAY THAT AGAIN.

All these amazing instrumentals for ken to RUIN

I felt like last yr's Lone album was actually decent change of pace cause it sounded fresh despite the subject matter being repetitive as f***. It was 40 mins so it was ALRIGHT, but the album he dropped this year consisting of the same beats, same lyrics, same flow, same stuffy ass voice for an hour and a half was legit audio terrorism

I remember when nerd types in 2014-2019 used to make fun of the Juices, X's, Fewtch's and Peep's of the world, but they all had something that made them interesting and they rarely sounded like they were making the same music. The self awareness of Peep, Future's goated flow, Juice's amazing bag. We really had it good

no im talking about dudes lmao, and i don’t think it’s jokes at all

lots of these niggas are genuinely closeted

Thats interesting tbh. I dont shame em

There was plenty of variety on ILCK

no there wasnt lmfao. literally same guitar sample packs on stupid filtered trap beats with the same subject matter

i do like it but that album being 26 songs was a mistake

Replace free throws with efficiently score at all

You clearly didn’t listen. Cuz half the album doesn’t even half any rock influence

guitar = rock

I was actually stunned listening to this album, being my first complete impression of the guys music, man spammed the same approach nearly every song, lethargic flows minor amounts of creativity lol

This argument makes less sense the farther away we get from that year
