They never fully commit to it
Like The-Dream for example all he had to literally do was use the exact same sounds as from Love Hate 1 and this nigga got Trap beats and trap era Pharrell beats on Love Hate 2 lol. Like what
Mark Moschinoin the way you're asking it. it basically just means this guy has no presence anymore and is making a deliberate ploy to existing fans
but in a broader scope it becomes a more difficult question @op because there's an argument that artistic trajectory isn't a linear thing.
I'm sure you as an artist knows that a lot of times when writing songs you use progressions/techniques that youve definitely used before to create similar feelings between songs, so i guess you're mileage may vary
It would be better if they didnt announce it as a return to old vibes and it was just a pleasant surprise that they Returned to old vibes a little bit
Like i can see Medicated Kanye trying to cash in on Good Ass Job and bringing back the college era album skits with Druski or whoever but the actual music would still be trap beats and loose ideas like his post Donda albums. Its rare people can go back
Never works because creativity just doesn’t work that way

hadjiYeah I guess I'm thinking more about presentation than actual musical technique and sound. If you build upon a foundation you started with then that's totally fine and sometimes in music that can look like very subtle tweaks
The other part I didn't really mention in this video that maybe I should have is that for an artist to say they're bringing something back, it implies it left, or that they lost their way somewhere along the way. Which maybe is the requirement for this whole convo haha
i mean the succinct answer is just what other people are saying itt.
artist's can't go back to being young and hungry. Their output worsens because theres not the same level of stakes to it

Yeah that's all I could think of for a deliberate "I'm coming back this sound" without dusting off old loosies.

I feel like he still presented it with a bit of a fresher angle
·editedNah usually an artist does a sequel to their most acclaimed album after they are "washed". Never lives up and only for marketing

Depends on how genuine the first thing was
You cant be young and hungry again but you can identify a type of rapping and beat style down to a science to where its just about execution
Anyone who said this is already lost in the sauce

Man on the moon 3 title was a cash grab based on TikTok kids giving his nearly dead career at the time a second life
If anything he put out since motm2 fit that lineage enough to justify the title it would’ve been ppds

not really that ep doesn’t touch the early stuff

No because it doesn’t sound like Nas’s old stuff
That’s literally the album’s mission statement that Nas raps on the intro haha
