I know there's a thread of "worst music of 2026" but this is more nuanced and a lot more prone to hot takes.

Lemme get my ones out the way

Only thing stopping me from saying this was just a bad album is my love for Reggie and because Sometimes and New Headstone and Takin It There were amazing tracks and show the potential this nigga has be limitless but bro ultimately waited 5 years to give us a glorified demo tape. Maybe after the next 10 we'll get a whole album.

I really really and I mean REALLY wanted to like this (and it is better than Testing) but I think I just kinda outgrew Rocky for the most part tbh. It's kind of all over the place (which I guess is the pOiNt) but just wasn't the most memorable experience nahmean?

It was just meh. Not what I had in mind when you hear "Dahi dropping an album" and the end result is some very artsy stuff (which I'm not mad at) also how you got black boy in your album title but lot of your co producers is white. You know what I'ma blame them cacs cause the same guy that made Worst Behavior, Loyalty, Love Me Not, No Role Models, and Adoration of the Magi the same guy behind this dawg.

This is just NOT the Reasonable Doubt last bro. IT's not a bad album but gee wilikers did it not meet the expectations of the "last final album of my career" vibes lol.

I aint really register this as a disappointment because I never had the highest expectations, it was ok to me but I get it if you a huge keem fan.

Good write up and I forgot those albums came out this year and not last

Can’t believe Cole thought that was the closet to his legacy

and those my "safe" picks

there's like 2 I'll save for later that is definitely a hot take lol.

Went back to this on a road trip last week and it's a really good album but the content is too heavy and kinda takes away from any replayability it had tbh

The Aesthetic before he dropped that horrible cover, the way he was talking like he was gonna mix old artsy d***gy LUCKI and new mainstream trap LUCKI + the freestyles over more traditional rap beats (see below) I thought he was finna try and make a 2000's Wayne esque classic. Boy was I wrong lol

That JPEG album was extremely disappointing. Bro talked all that s*** to drop his worst album

that's just a bad album lol not disappointing.

Difference between disappointing and bad is the former there's some redeemable qualities. Bad albums just throwaway lol. Aint listen to experimental rap since that week.

What's wrong with this nigga

Why the f*** wasn't this just him LOS and tricky on those 2007-2009 type beats

Outside his debut I aint listen to this albums like that, what happened wit this one

def keem

wasn't expecting s*** from kanye but his album was ass too

I don't believe DBD isn't even close to being better than Testing, my fellow ktt2 poster

Edit: but yes DBD was a major disappointment fam

Don’t Be Dumb could’ve been harder

But we got NO SNITCHING so Rocky still good

either way we on the same page about DBD being a dissapointment

10/18(43) songs is a massive letdown. really be tryna make myself like the albums and everything put out, but outside them 10 gym tunes on Iceman, everything else is just really boring when trying to repeat the music

Mid eats

He had a very identifiable sound/production style in his original classic trilogy of albums, moreso the first two, the combo of him, Los da mystro and tricky Stewart. when he abandoned that sound around 2011-2012 he kinda fell off as an artist, combined with the coincidental arrival of The Weeknd in the similar high pitched rap adjacent R&B lane,
He named this Love Hate 2 for seemingly no reason, baiting us into a return to this old sound when it's just another trappy r&b album he coulda named anything

None of these vibes were really on the album

that slayyyter album

disappointed in the fact that there was a free lane this summer and nobody dropped
