i just dont get (allegedly) reworking the fall off from scratch and thats what u come up to entice people after how he handled the beef. he's being pseudo-introspective about his rap persona rather than interrogating how it got him to this tough spot
i'd rather he sit down n really figure out wtf he has to offer rap that fans cant hear anywhere else and wat his supposedly final revelatory statement is in this s***

I highly doubt he reworked the entire album from scratch, I heard that there’s songs from years ago on it

I was just correcting the allegedly part, I’m not gonna try to change your mind on the song you obviously don’t like

its obvious neither of us really know for certain what he's kept and whats been thrown so the 'correcting' is immaterial. the song isnt my sole issue; it's ok sonically. im moreso disappointed in what it indicates re: the direction of the album

Has anyone ever said he reworked the album from scratch tho? Pretty sure I heard an interview or something of him saying he has songs on here from multiple different years of creating it
Also I hear you, I’m curious to see the direction of the album as well, I think this not being on DSPs keeps everyone in the dark which I’m okay with

I just figured you had actual information about a rework from scratch, calm yo ass down
The album is dropping, people talking features and songs is pretty normal for an album that’s weeks away
This is like me saying Jay Z is allegedly on the album using my own imagination

It's just this and this is all pre beef. Highly doubt he made major changes to the album since solely because of the beef. In the album trailer he said he's been working on perfecting it for 10 years
