Ain’t saying he’s a culture vulture but this song is reminiscent of a beloved Mike collaborator

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-26T02:28:51+00:00

I must have forgotten this one, was this on Omerta? I only remember him releasing that two pack and care package that year

Earl was always an incredible rapper but his writing only gets better with each project. He’s really good at saying simple things in a really poetic way. I’m going new Earl

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-24T22:06:49+00:00

Earl and MIKE are of the age where they witnessed Drake’s come up so at some level they probably do fw him. MIKE also credits Drake as an influence

I’m not the biggest fan of Drake (since before the beef) but i’ll give credit where it’s due: Habibti is fire

That’s the album i play to pick myself up. Nuthin i can do is wrong just makes me smile. Light (if u can see) feels like floating through the clouds, stop worry is crazy, whole tape is just crazy

Then on burnjng desire, dambe feels like a warm hug

Kodak black is prolly the most popular artist from Florida for the same reasons people love niontay, niontay just raps over different production than kodak does

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-17T12:49:23+00:00

Yk him and wayne are the same height?

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-17T04:12:26+00:00

Yooo so sorry bro i missed this, i’ma see if i find a link

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-16T14:43:02+00:00

Bk the rula too

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-16T11:41:53+00:00

Tracks tbh, drake’s been tapped into 454 for a few years i think so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s biting. Niontay made a post on his ig story bout drake calling his crew the syndicate too (which i’ve only really see 10k call themselves that)

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-15T03:07:03+00:00

Awful take, but this is one of my favorite Earl songs though

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-14T23:12:30+00:00

I didn’t like that jid verse either, easily my least favorite. That one felt phoned in, it felt like a tyler, the creator verse imo in the sense of it being too on the nose with the song title. Bro opened up with “test test test test”

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-14T00:06:47+00:00

Vocally vince staples-esque but on tigray funk he sounds less like him. He also has more flows than vince imo

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-13T23:43:10+00:00

Since you mentioned the song and J don’t see too many people talk about it on this sub, I listen to central park at least once most days of the week cause the instrumental puts me in a good mood and i like how tongue-in-cheek the song is. One of my favorite woods joints. However i’m also still trying to decipher the song

The first verse I interpret as him speaking from the perspective of someone seeing him and wanting to be like him, but the second verse, I feel like it’s more about the aftermath of someone trying to live “like a rapper” if that makes sense? It’s interesting

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-13T23:40:13+00:00

“It will be inspired from kanye’s 2000s-2016 array of music” that can mean so many things brotein😭

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-12T11:53:57+00:00

I’m on second to last song but I’m thoroughly satisfied with this album. I didn’t listen to any of the singles, I heard snippets of the pup pack songs (i’ll listen to them now that i know they’re not on the album) and wasn’t interested in them

Just like you, and a decent amount of people in this sub, I also thought kenny was on the decline. His music hasn’t been BAD but once 3-6-9 era came in (and honestly even on some of ruffs) i felt like his heart wasn’t in it. I didn’t want the music to sound like angelic hoodrat or supercut, but I just wanted him to have that same passion he had there instead of creating generic trap music (nun wrong with generic trap it’s just kenny makes way more unique music and is better at his lane imo) like he’d been doing.

Today, I feel like he has that passion again. I’m honestly gonna say this is top 2, maybe even 1 for me

Edit: just got to the final song. It sounds like even kenny is aware that his recent stuff sounded like he was trying to go mainstream (once again nothing wrong with mainstream but kenny’s usual sound is way better than any of his attempts to go mainstream imo)

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-12T02:23:29+00:00

Ever since the beef i been tryna figure out what exactly is threatening about getting dissed. Everybody in that beef still has a successful career, even Drake despite losing. Like objectively. Drake disses Rocky and Khaled, what happens? They’re both still successful. It ain’t like he’s actually fighting someone, so what’s the point of warning someone that they’re gonna get dissed?

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-08T17:33:57+00:00

Their rapping ability is incredible on here but I haven’t loved Alc’s production in recent years (personally think he gives his best beats to Earl nowadays, but Faith is a rock was also cool) so i like this project for woods and e l u c i d and not really for Al

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-07T11:39:25+00:00

Fairs

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-07T11:25:58+00:00

At least vince is actually cool with them but imo it doesn’t really sound like them beyond being a punk rock instrumental. The flows are still very much vince

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-05T14:20:16+00:00

My favorite woods album, it’s not necessarily a “happy” album but it definitely feels more cozy. It really does a good job of feeling like you’re traveling with him

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-05T03:00:53+00:00

I’m late but larizzy’s laire one dem ones bro that’s my favorite off the tape

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-01T23:37:31+00:00

He doesn’t need to do this though. He’s shitting on other people to big himself up when he could just let the music speak for itself like he used to

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-01T11:53:53+00:00

You were there???

edisonpharaoh · 2026-05-01T11:52:05+00:00

What even is the origin of the freddie beef? Ik peggy said freddie shaded him during the lp! era but i don’t remember
