New World Water is still one of the best songs ever written about the importance of water conservation and the ramifications of the dwindling supply of it.

It's about more than actual water though ie the distillation of knowledge

I've read tons of interpretations online and from what others said. Never though of it like that.
I'm liking BFT. The production is cool.
How the hell is HNDRXX trash??? Top 3 Future.

Man I remember when I saw Vince touring for Q back in the day for his tapes before He'll Can Wait.
Eh. Still not sold on either of Future's projects this year.
I'm the only conversation when they speaking up in Long Beach
Yeah, still my jam!

Vince got the hot takes flowing in this thread like they haven't in a while.
I like the album ¯\_(ツ

Valid argument that the verses aren't as potent as Summertime 06, but it feels like there are less words on the album period, and not just due to the shorter length. A conscious decision to go for a concentrated burst of energy with a focus on the music instead of an hour of wordiness, and I don't know if that's motivated by wanting more festival energy or what, but I vibe with it. What I disagree completely with is that Vince somehow sounds at odds with the production or struggles to find his space. He finds the same pockets he always has when he wants to, but this time the rhythm is a lot more important, so he's not as detailed and longform. It's not as great as Summertime 06, but I don't think it's a dud.

Pretty much man. I don't like it as much as summertime. But man the sound he went for here is pretty damn good
I get a nice 90s electro vibe here. Half this album could have been in transpotting tbh
There's less room for his rhymes and statements, but he flows well on it. And even the Kendrick feature is good too
This accomplished the electronic/rap hybrid much better than Danny Brown's side b of old too. Also the production and short length ensures I'm gonna replay this quite a bit

I like the new Vince Staples album, but I was just listening to the beats and could care less about the lyrics tbh. It sounds really amazing and easily became one of my favorite albums this year...maybe I should listen to Summertime 06'.
Yes. Listen to Summertime 06. It's great.

I'm really happy that's not the case for me.
Might as well avoid slasher flicks and video games over the violence.
Keep your heart 3 stacks
I don't avoid it; in fact I was just listening to my ATLiens vinyl the other day hence why I was reminded of the lyrics.
I don't know how good your analogy is though; maybe Triple Six compares to slasher flicks (although Crunchy Blacc was pretty real lol). Andre is a preachy dude; so when he's preaching nearly every track about girls having too much sex it's just outdated to me. It's not about a purity test for me or anything, he just sounds like a simp.
That track is so groovy.I WAS UP LATE NIGHT BALLIN

Does anybody buy rap albums anymore unless they are over 40? Everyone just streams on Apple Music and Spotify...he probably shouldn't have done it on the same day DJ "Another One" "We The Best Music" Khaled though

Yeah the analogy is probably poor.
Outdated, absolutely yeah some of it is.
I mean, your opinion of course. It'll be interesting to see what happens in say 10 years or so with the inevitable social changes going on.
All the rampant sexism and honophobia in hip hop, will it affect peoples ability to go to the older stuff?

I wish I could join in the Vince hot takes, but I can't listen to the record yet
Whenever I've read Big Fish Theory is dope, it's always followed by the beats are dope.
Are you implying that albums can't be enjoyed regardless of there shortcomings?
Like I'm actually going to have to discuss this in a thread that loves thugger.
I'm more bitter that I actually can't share the enthusiasm of the people who like the album.

Future > HNDRXX . Not top 3, 1000 is still some of his best work along with some other mixtapes. I think his mixtapes are better than his albums.

This is actually my least favorite track on the album tbh. And for the same reason I don't like 30 Hours by Kanye

I don't know how I feel about The Silicon Valley Soundtrack being the hardest album of the year.
HEY, NICE TO MEET (HEEEEEEEY)
I'M YOUNG JEFE, WHO YOU BE? (YOUNG HEFEEEE)
GOT MY PIECE, IN SOUTHEAST
I'M ABOUT TO CLAP IT TO THIS BEAT
Speaking of memorable lines and flows, I'm On 3.0 is just people floating over the beat back-to-back. Correction to my previous statement: Everyone came with it except Curren$y. I don't even think Curren$y stans can say his verse doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. Dave East, Tee Grizzley, or Ross got the best verse IMO.
Automatic still give 'em the same kick
Started the sideline, now I'm starrin' in game 6
Spit and make 'em replay it like they're stuck on the same disc
I'm self-made, wasn't made for the military
Get paid, dodge jail and the cemetery
Fill a Backwood with three nicks
V6, cut the coke, remix
Squeeze clips if ever we hear that he snitched
I'm allergic to broke n***as in the precinct
Found out my man was hatin' and we ain't speak since
Barney's, Nord's can't add up the paper we spent
Tryna get drunk, I'm tokin', I got a P bent
I touched a million, ain't sleep since, on defense
Freedom got me feelin' like I flown up
Out of prison, I ain't think that I was blowin' up
Bunch of young rich n***as home, Rollies up
Run up on us, watch how quick I'll lift the toaster up
Triple OG, Never without vision or-
Livin' goal-free, never writ it though
<Curren$y redacted>
Off the east side, Trae called me up and said
"Unc I'ma need you on the b-side"
Get an M and get low, that's the Dre I'm on
Get a B in blue, that's the Jay I'm on
They on sidelines watchin' what play I'm on
Chasin' paper, starin' out the casket
Was a Stunna 'til they froze all the assets
They thought I was done, but really I ain't even stress it
Just look at all the dough I got invested
Two years and two billion dollar exits
And now your relevance ain't lookin' that impressive (it ain't)
So glad we ain't gotta chase relevance
And I don't think he really needs any coachin'
The weather's gettin' hot, Eazy Season approachin'
Came up and everybody sees the devotion
I put the work in, I cause a commotion
Raised knee-deep in the dope game
If I had two guns up then they was both aimed
I'm an old ass youngsta, bruh, I'm a vet
Sick Wid It Records, sellin' cassettes before the internet
More chune pon your head top
Watch how you speak on my name, you know?
