not i

my most listened album in 2021 probably, s*** was great

Ktt d***riders still gon say “ LoL hE dOnT kNoW WaT hE TaLkiN bOuT”

Yeah nigga, RAP bro. This vibers gimmick tired and lazy.

Just hivemind stans afraid of actual lyrics

Nigga I shed tears to heavenly father and this nigga returns the favor by ruining one of the coldest beats of the decade (hey mista) mumbling nonsense on it dawg f*** this album lolol

because he hasn’t released anything in years

Came out early 2020s in an off period where there wasn't that much to get excited for. It's a good project I like it a lot but doubt anybody holds it that high anymore

If we being real a lot of that was hype of the moment because he finally dropped and niggas felt like he was gonna have his mainstream "they finally caught on to Zay" moment. Like the whole Zay discord kinda just died off when the album came out cause the hype of him dropping ended up being bigger than the actual album

he didnt have any of his og niggas on thib neither from cilva demo n prior of production n engineering

some of them were on sun's and then none at all for thib

but yeah, u probably seen me say it before, but cilvia demo along with the waters by mick are such two special and unique rap projects that both artists basically gave up on after their release - iirc, they both had a similar scare for themselves of trying to reach the heights of those projects so thats why they just when all the way left with it since then

those sounds, style and structure is so wild and different to this day

It was also cause the “big hit” (headshots) that came out after the snippet died immediately cause everything after that 1st verse was literally him rapping nonsense (AGAIN)

He said he freestyled most of the album and boy does it sound like it. I hope rappers stop doing that

Mick caught a 2nd wind since pieces of a man dawg you bugging

It had some joints on there but easily the weakest of his discography

Album was ass by his standards for sure

CD still his best to me

Isaiah is one of those artists I just kinda love anything they do, so I played the hell out of THIB that late summer/fall.

But I do think he can do way better and hopefully does. The kinda sleepy mumbly, super layered, super filtered vocal stuff works on some songs but it gets a bit tiring on that album when going back to it.

RIP young is song of the life
And lay wit ya, all herb, claymore, headshots, true story, Chad, score, THIB all still good imo.

thats almost 10 years ago now :scary: and imo still doesnt have the "cinematic" quality of Waters

but it was dope and still closer than anything else isaiah done after, and THEMpeople one of the best producers that rarely ever get mentioned

I agree with all of this

We need THIS Zay back. The zay that knew how talk into a microphone.

LMFAOO man i used to zone out to hey mista till i heard zay bullshittin a little too hard one listen and dropped it

I f***ed wit that album heavy when it dropped and a lot of my friends did also.. some that actually didn’t like TST much… for
Me Zay ain’t drop a wack project yet. And him saying this is encouraging that he might be on one for the next drop.

Just don’t take another 3 years to drop gang

I still fw the album overall but to put it bluntly, he is just bullshitting on a lot of them songs. Time to rap, Isaiah!

Bruh im vibing til he talking bout stocks like nigga f*** outta here

I have legit listened to that instrumental like 1,000 times already

Yeah it sounded phoned in lol. I went to his concert for THIB and he mainly played s*** from his other albums lmao

Bro I already know you feel we had convos about this s*** before. I still f*** wit the vibers s*** but I’m wit you I would like for him to get back to rappin fr too. Why not both?

Mfw back when bro could write a song song

This was my S*** bro senior year in college s*** aged like fine wine
