I just don't think people really give a s*** about the earl stuff in relation to actually enjoying the music or not idk i feel like there's a huge overlap in fanbases where that doesn't really make sense. there's a negative dogpile because the album is his worst by far and honestly a really annoying listen

Brb cleansing my ears

These dubstep songs are legit so hard to get through bro

Yen, Head, GYBB are dope

people hating on the production are really forcing it
my only complaints are his vocal performance. The flows and subject matter get stale pretty quickly, but his production chops are still amazing

Chat a top 3 song on there & will be in his set list for years to come

Lights

There are plenty of legit criticisms for this album, but calling this thing derivative basic dubstep is an insanely reductive and uncharitable take. if there’s someone else out there making a beat like the one on Yen please point me to them, thank you.

Wiggin on niggas like Joanne the scammer

Yes bro when people said that they were definitely referring to Yen, you’re very intelligent

Yall niggas so disingenuous lmao

lights is the worst s*** ive ever heard in my life goddamn

This can't be that bad

Wait why is it growing on me

personally i just thought it was really boring the brostep sht is novel at first but gets old quick

sounds like some old 100 gecs

This some of the worst s*** he’s made man wtf

I actually like this album

Like I get the criticism about the rapping but I hear songs Like Since I Met Ye and Mask On and think am I losing to the same album you guys are.

kinda shocked peggy hasn’t used this producer tag since the ye collab

veteran tour in a classroom sized venue just him and his laptop>>>>

'Nobody' is saying the album is entirely bad, there's a lot of tracks after all

It's moreso that we are focusing on our grievances imo

There's still a lot of great production
But our annoyance with the poor guitar use on LayDown is carried over + the brostep elements feel unnecessary
The fast flow is quite annoying given it's used so heavily

Still many good/great moments
I could probably pick 8 tracks that I enjoy quite alot

NMF is arguably the top JPEGMAFIA fan on here, he like me obviously doesn't hate it all but we ( like SfSo, misfit etc etc) hold him to a high standard

Nobody is mad about the earl stuff
Although I'm sure we all think it was goofy
Especially given that all the people he beefs with are people he probably likes (Earl, Alc, Armand Hammer, Freddie)

It's not impacting how we're hearing this

Although tbf I'm happy he's not dissing his ex for once, or maybe he has & that's a benefit to the fast rapping obscuring everything

Mach needs to drop on DSP's to save this year from mediocrity.

Disclaimer: "656" still AOTY.

AMHAC and LP tour was peak too
