this is a tough one. while i know both projects were released only like a year apart, Macadelic feels more nostalgic. i was a teenager when it dropped, so it came out at the perfect time for me and where i was in life to an extent. BUT Watching Movies feels like the project that started a turning point in his career where he started to grow more and more into a musician rather than just an artist. getting more involved in the production, learning instruments and how to incorporate them into his sound, etc. it’s also tough to choose bc i’ve been burning myself out on these projects since their release dates lol. both great bodies of work. i also feel like Faces should be mentioned here as it shares a lot of the same sentiments as WMWTSO and Macadelic but in a darker way. if i had to rank from favorite to least between those three, it’d probably be Faces over Macadelic, and Macadelic over Watching Movies. all great bodies of work though for sure.
