So, I gave myself a couple days to listen to it a few times. And I have to say I'm disappointed. Disappointed in the lyrics and the production quality. It's just not my style, and not what I was hoping from Gambino who I love. I love is I Am Just a Rapper tapes, ROYALTY, Camp, etc. This just isn't what I was expecting. It's slow and mellow. Kept waiting for him to go hard and was let down. It's not bad, I'd just put it below a lot of his other stuff. I liked Shadows, Zealots of Stockholm, Pink Toes, but that's about it. Rest was hip-hop elevator music. Even saying that I feel kind of bad, but that's all I could come up with. I just feel like studio albums and releases shouldn't be eclipsed by your mixtapes.

For reference a few of my fav tracks from past stuff are Fire Fly, Heartbeat, R.I.P, New Prince, Bonfire, Hold You Down, Bitch Look At Me Now, etc.

Again, just my opinion, don't hate me. :)

I mean what happened to shit like this? "Release a new track, All blogs go to heaven."
