Zay said he had writer block round the time and Kenny beats told him to freestyle and it help

But the writing suffered greatly because of it, which is why there's multiple verses that are nonsensical when u actually listen to what he's saying

The only songs from THIB I’m very eh on are All Herb, True Story, Don’t Shoot and 9-3 Freestyle

damn, i liked this album. grew on me heavy in 2022

Yeah, I understand people’s critiques regarding his rapping being…lazy at times. But I think his ability to curate a vibe is really underrated and this album does a great job at that for the most part.

Headshots is still one of Zays greatest songs ever 🤷‍♂️

Not even he can gas that mid up. Crazy that suns tirade is even worse

i get an album not living up to the same heights as his previous work but i still think, personally, this was a good project. multiple songs on here that carried me through the year and i still revisit this album because of them

It doesn’t reach the highs of other TDE albums like Control System or TPAB or CTRL or Blue Lips but I think it’s a solid album. I’ll take it over some of the lesser TDE efforts like CrasH Talk or Soul Burger or literally ANYTHING from Reason 😂 😂

I’d probably give it a 7.5/10

reason still catchin strays, always will be funny

Cuz he’s the most NPC boring rapper there is.

TDE biggest mistake was putting all that money and marketing behind him when they didn’t give someone way more talented like SiR, half that promotion budget.

They gotta beg this nigga to come to the studio to make music, of course he’s gonna say it’s mid

Hb2u and rip young songs of life idc

That said tho, music 4 da vibers was peak and I need an album just like that

I’d say the album is like 75% fire, 25% mid

RIP Young
Lay Wit Ya
Claymore
Headshots
Hey Miata (2nd half carries)
Wat U Sed

THIB
HB2U

All great songs

nostalgia is tough to get over i see

It's his weakest album but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although, I need Zay back on his rapping s*** again ala Cilivia Demo and less of that drowsy monotone ass flow that was prevalent all over THIB

I remember he said that he felt he ain’t said nothing much on that album but it still was a vibe, I believe this one will be more personal that’s why he said what he said

Damn they finally got him

CD is by far his best project, I love it more now than I ever did after revisiting it last year for the anniversary

lol

im happy some of yall enjoy thib but be fr. bro admitted to freestyling every song on there but before he even did its easy to tell they were slapped together

definitely some vibes on there and its not a bad project but TST AND CD are way better in just about every way

Boring album tbh he's capable of much livelier rapping, production and content. Looking forward to what's next though, I'll always have love for Zay.

honestly for the longest time outside of the title track, west savannah, heavenly father, and banana i didnt really care for that album much and felt the suns tirade & THIB were better showings from him

it wasnt until shortly after THIB came out and i revisited cilvia demo again that i warmed up to it

damn i literally went back to listen to some of THIB and older stuff like nelly and smile a few days ago. what a time man. cilvia demo and suns tirade still one of my most played albums, i do miss old zay a bit

As long as he don't drop his Crash Talk I'll forgive him for these comments. I hate when artists s*** on their good albums.
