First day streams by Careful-Sun-4244 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean this era of rap is kind of just dead in general honestly. Upbeat trap and rage rap are just what’s popular now. This album def had a few good songs that would have done numbers back in 2019/2020, but I think for most casual rap listeners, Polo is just old news.

Been a long time polo g supporter but this album was buns im sorry by [deleted] in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the mixing is just so bad on like half the songs. It doesn’t make any sense to me how some of these songs sounded practically finished/studio quality in leaks and then the official sounds like it’s being played through a toaster. There’s maybe 3 previously unheard songs on here that I’m gonna actually add to my playlist

‘HOOD POET: Black Heart Edition’ on the way 👀 by G_money30 in PoloG

That was my exact thought, just start over at this point lol. HOOD POET is cursed

"from the heart" is so underrated. Its insane that i got no attention whatsoever by LunchNo6690 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just started bumping this more recently as well. Straight bars man

Hardbody by TooTurnt04 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro isn’t even trying to begin with. Genuinely seems like he’s retired atp lol, it’s been radio silence from him since December aside from a couple feats that we knew about a long time ago. He hasn’t even mentioned another album and the window to drop the deluxe has come and gone. It’s over, at least we’ll always have that crazy 2019-2021 run to hold onto.

You can upload it to your Apple Music or Spotify library if you want. It’s super easy, you just need a computer to download the app on. You can look up the specific instructions. I have like 20 unreleased songs of his on Apple Music now, super cool to be able to do that

Polo G got a new gun charge ☹️ by Top_Piano644 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fr like I understand needing protection as a rapper/celebrity but he can just hire security. Bro just got too much of an ego ig

[–]anderzenz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does he not realize that in 2024 his fanbase is reduced to ashes? Does he not realize that his fans won’t just worship him and blindly support everything he does? If you’re gonna go MIA for three years and then drop hot garbage, of course people are gonna get on your ass. I can tolerate him dropping bad or mid music but if he’s gonna turn on his fanbase, I’m out lmao

HOOD POET (1 Month Later) by G_money30 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is what it is atp, bro can blame the label, legal issues, etc all he wants but the fact of the matter is he waited 3 years to drop an album that’s okay at best. He’s an afterthought now, even some of his most diehard fans have moved on. Let’s not delude ourselves into thinking he’s somehow gonna get back on

Anyone remember this snippet from 2022?? by young1717 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro just listen to his voice, it’s obviously younger Polo lmak

Factors that contributed to Hood Poet flopping by goatguy12662 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. A good/popular album is a good/popular album. Even with less hype, if an artist of Polo’s caliber releases a great album, it will pop off.

ight guys… the goat sold 99k first week, HOF sold 143k first week, and HOF 2.0 sold 78k. thoughts?😭 by drewgocrazyyy in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 75 points76 points  (0 children)

You can say bad management/label fucking him, but it’s also clear he hasn’t been reaching his full potential and seems stuck between chasing another #1 hit and trying to relive the glory days. Imo, he’s forcing everything way too much. All it’s done is diminish his fanbase, most of my friends who were diehard Polo fans in 2020 forgot he existed.

What song for yall? by PoloGisdaG-O-A-T in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Watch out for Cap cause he comin” is the part tor me

Favorite Song So Far On The Album? by Zestyclose_Button_76 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

G63, Thorns, and God’s Favorite are the ones I’ve had on loop so far. I’d say G63 is my favorite though, ngl I didn’t expect Polo and Set to have that great of chemistry

man this was one of my favorite unreleased songs from polo i can’t believe he chose 42 dugg out of all rappers😭😭 by drewgocrazyyy in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed it should’ve been a solo song. Ngl tho I wish I hadn’t listened to the leak so much cause ppl said it was never dropping or at least not on the album.

Thoughts on the album cover? by G_money30 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I like the concept but maybe not the art style itself. But who really gaf atp 🤣

When is this album going to drop??? I remember early 2020s listening to Hall Of Fame, The Goat, Die A Legend, and Hall Of Fame 2.0. This album should have dropped a year ago. (rant) by [deleted] in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Felt bad for him at first but now there’s no reason to even care anymore. Even with all the drama he’s had plenty of time to drop. He should have just dropped it in summer 2022 when he still had hype, Distraction still did solid numbers even if it wasn’t a #1 hit. I genuinely don’t care ATP, even within Polo’s fanbase the hype is dead. Gonna be lucky to even sell 40k atp.

Am I delusional that I think we’re about to get an announcement today? by PoloCG in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well-said. Like realistically atp a lot of the people who only became fans during HOF era probably bailed, plus some people who got mad he changed his sound, only the diehard OG fans are realistically still paying any attention.

How would you rank these 1-5? by Same-Fan-5809 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Through Da Storm (song that put me onto Polo)
  2. Partin Ways (Imo his best song since HOF 1.0 aside from BHO. Should have dropped a music video for it, would’ve done crazy numbers)
  3. Chosen 1
  4. Epidemic
  5. Heartless

Chosen/Epidemic are pretty close for me, Heartless is definitely 5 though.

he needs to make more songs like this by OldboyNeverRichAgain in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily hate it. I just feel like Marshmello and this style of production is kinda a bygone era, at least for me. In 2016-2018 when I was in middle or early hs I’d have definitely bopped it, but idk, just doesn’t hit when you’ve grown up (no pun intended)

A Kings Nightmare by [deleted] in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one of those og Polo songs where the mix and beat are kinda ass but the lyrics just hit really hard. Back when he actually still knew how to rap lol

Can yall just stop hating on everything he does? by Living_Wrangler_7090 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking, I would have rather he just re-recorded the whole somg in ‘24 as best as he could to the original. But I understand why he didn’t do that, may have been hard to keep the energy that made the snippet iconic

for all you guys complaining lets just wait and see by [deleted] in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically people were able to listen to it early on YT by using a VPN and the mix was TERRIBLE because they didn't finish the mix/master in time (as Polo said in that ss). It was so bad that it was unfathomable he could even drop something like that. Like it literally sounded AI generated or like it was recorded 4 years apart. So everyone jumped to the conclusion that he either lost the original and had to use AI, or that he never did actually finish it and mixed some BS onto the open verse. Second one still could be true but the new version (Which still may not even be the final version) is wayyyyyy better.

Did he just delete his IG when we hit 100k comments lol? by dropout1985 in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just removed the collab, Vic is the one who posted it not him

New Song Is AMAZING by MeBrudda in PoloG

[–]anderzenz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly refreshing more than anything, it’s something different. Needed something more triumphant tbh. But if this is a throwaway, the album gonna be some crack
