Heard his full album today... the way Gaf hyped this guy up, made him seem like something great.
Instead, I get the feeling he's jacking Kanye's style from 808 & Heartbreaks without the autotune :lol
I mean, he's not really singing, but just walking through songs without barely any harmony... hell, not much effort in that. But the music production is beautiful, I'll give it that much. Actually, I'll listen to it more since I love good beats and composition, too bad it wouldn't be for his lyrics or singing... talking, or whatever.
A few songs were great, but most were pretty bland. It also reminded me a tiny bit of Consequence, but not as backpackish.
(Unrelated: I would rate The current Hip Hop releases as...
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II - Vodka, oldskool Wu with modern lyrics
The Blueprint 3 - Long Island Ice Tea, sneaks up on you, seems fruity at first. Very futuristic vibe and more into "next" than oldskool.
Foundation - Imported Beer, a cut above whats out there now. Best M.O.P. I've heard in a very long time... but near the end it falls short.
Man on the Moon: The End of Day - Koolaid... not really hip hop, not really pop, not exactly rap... I don't know what this is... it's ok, mainstream will forget the taste in a year.
