Nice analysis bucko, although I disagree(!) about a couple things:
- Vince Staples' recent work has copped a weird amount of hate, but it ain't half bad! Maybe "squandered potential" has contributed here considering how exciting his come up was
- WRK's chorus works for me. The arrangement is so gloriously cluttered.
JIDy is truly silly widdit tho. I prefer his last project both by individual tracks and as a whole (I'm not very moved by the spiritual angle here, but I'm also not very spiritual generally so hey) but this is a super fun progression for him. Agree that the pop-leaning tracks are far from Kendrick/SZA level but really not bad for first knocks.
“DID I JUST WRITE THE SONG OF THE SUMMER?“
I know exactly what you mean with this lmao 😭

DISCOURSE let's go! One man's glorious clutter is another man's inscrutable pigsty ig
