Big Boi, UGK, Big KRIT - Gossip

that trinidad james gold track seems like a joke

before anyone asks i'll preface this by saying i have a promo, i don't think this has leaked

so i'm not sure yet if this is genuinely terrible or not but wow. every song i'm like "hmmm you know this one doesn't sound terrible" and then someone who isn't sleep brown comes to sing the chorus & it's just like *closes eyes, exhales slowly*

the wavves track is truly as bad as you imagined it would be

noz said thom pettite is the only great song

yeah that's basically about right -- "descending" is actually pretty nice

Thom Pettie's great.

the '80s retro kelly rowland single is ok -- like a solange song by someone who can sing

Yes I like that too. First half of the album holds up, then Big Boi keeps forgetting to rap and the guests take over and it all unravels.

Is it true the album contains the lines "we like to roleplay, put on some Coldplay"?

It does indeed, on one of the worst tracks.

"we like to roleplay, put on some Coldplay"

oh my

ugh

maybe they are roleplaying as people who like boring music

haha

11 Shoes For Running [ft. BoB & Wavves]

oh my gggoooooddddddd this song is truly dreadful

lol @ enthusiastic avclub review

rap game Sharon von Etten

Shoes for Running has a great Big Boi verse but the rest is reprehensible. He needs to appear on his own album more often instead of letting the guests dominate.

Big Boi never has & never will made an album where he's in the spotlight more than half the time

Plan B: get better guests.

To his credit it's a ballsy record though - destined to be underrated and overrated by different factions.

This.

it's Little Dragon ballsy

Oh, HERE we go. Was about to start a thread on this since I couldn't find anything. Just stumbled on this on Spotify while looking for Lucious Left Foot and did a double-take: Big Boi has a new album?

I'm listening to it for the first time and it's sounding great. Couple hipster-bait moves that are so left-field they don't look like cash-ins (Wavves?!), especially amidst the general MAME/keyboard DIY sound of this thing. Feels of a piece. Great hooks, haven't had time to dig into the verses yet or anything. But I'm gonna keep it in rotation.

ok it did kind of hit a wall with 'tremendous damage' followed by 'descending.' Which...I guess is the end of the album? I hate how vague Spotify is about this stuff.

finally got around to hearing this. can't imagine who would stan for this outside of people who heard the second Crystal Castles album and thought to themselves "wouldn't it be cool if there was RAPPING on this album?"

I still love gossip unrepententantly. Been awhie since I tried the full album but the hits competely outweighed the (admittedly abysmal) misses

I like the first five tracks or so. Once Cudi shows up its peace out y'all

the track with Killer Mike is real dope, can't even remember the rest besides the awful, awful Wavves song

Will rep for
