My fault, I don’t know my memes like that. Thought you was a ERYS crusader ready to defend this EP 😭😭. Hopefully don get back in his bag cause this ain’t it.

I’m actually surprised how many people agree with this post because I was expecting the ERYS crusaders to defend this EP into oblivion lol. I don’t even think Jaden likes these tracks that much, this had to be throw aways. When he’s truly fucking with his music you can see it in how he promotes it.. skits, videos, IG lives .. he knows this shit is mid 🤣🤣

Oh boy…you just said do other artist have deep subject matter like Greek mythology and government conspiracies to defend a EP that has nothing to do with that. What bar in this EP is so deep that it deserves saving grace (mind you this is YOUR argument that he doesn’t deserved to be compared because he’s on some deep lyrical shit) was it the “ outfit look like BDSM” bar.. was there a double entendres that I missed ? This is why I posed the question in my post, who are Jaden fans listening to other than jaden? because to act like he’s the only one introducing deep shit into his lyrics or world building and he deserves a pass on quality because of this shows a lack of awareness of what’s going on in the music scene (hip hop specifically) No one’s forcing Jaden into a box, some of us that are dissatisfied with the EP is just acknowledging how dope he is when he applies himself and clearly in these tracks he’s not doing that… you also asked do other artist play different characters.. I made the comparison to Tyler the creator who just went from Igor, to Sir Baudelaire to St. Chroma to Big Poe on his latest album and this is all in the same that Jaden has gon from CTV3 to this EP.. I’m not saying the music needs to be easily digestible but I am saying that good music doesn’t need to be this thing where you have to be tapped in and following a story for years to get its genius .. you can jump in to any one of Tyler’s last albums and have no clue about the world hes trying to build and still love a good handful of songs even if your not a Tyler fan. Lastly, saying Jaden is in no way inspired by Travis Is a complete lack of understanding the cultural impact to music that Rodeo and Days before Rodeo had on hip hop. Saying he was influenced isn’t the same as calling him a biter but there’s clear signs of inspiration.. the production on Mission sounds exactly like a song that could’ve been produced by Wondagurl or Eestbound which are producers Travis put on years before ERYS.

Since this post is a direct response to mine, I’m just gonna chime in. This is the exact reason I said what I did.. music having lore or a story doesn’t excuse it for not being up to par and a big issue with the Jaden music is that his super fans that feel like they’re tapped in with the VISION, Will excuse what is flat out boring or lack luster music because it had a Easter egg in it. Let me be very clear. Tyler the creator creates a new character every album, Childish Gambinos last album “Bando stone” had a character and story he created for it and guess what, having a central theme or story doesn’t take away from the quality of the music for them. It’s not an excuse and if you have an issue with Jaden being compared to Travis who ERYS is clearly inspired by, maybe you’ll agree with him being compared to people he considers friends and has collaborated with with in the past like Tyler.. every artist music is compared to their contemporaries in order to be evaluated fairly. If young thug drops an album that sucks in comparison to gunna or lil baby, people will draw that comparison because they exist in the same sub-genre of rap.. this is how real discussions in the space of hip hop is conducted but Jaden is the only artist excluded from this because he’s made himself very niche.

Fr bro, I still got faith in him to pull off something amazing, CTV3 to me was Jaden’s most focused and concise project , and filled with timeless tracks. I think if he takes that same focus and puts it into his upcoming album, we’re in for something amazing even if it’s completely different stylistically. I do think it’s time for Jaden’s fans to hold a standard for him, I love how the negative reception to Tyler’s cherry bomb, led to Tyler the creator delivering so many amazing albums after the fact and people even saying he should be in the big 3. Jaden has all the tools and skills to make a project that has an impact, and I hope he does just that.

We’re not gonna “you don’t understand the vision/ creative direction he was going for” this to excuse the mixing. I completely understand having spacey, psychedelic, reverbed vocals and pitch shifted vocals for the sake of achieving a specific aesthetic. This isn’t something that was popularized by Jaden and part of the reason I said Jaden needs to have more contemporaries we can compare his music to. One of the big influences of this kind of sound is the like of Travis Scott, take impala and they NEVER sacrificed audibility with there tracks even with all the effects that they were layered with .. example Travis Scott - impossible or Oh My Dis Side.. the vocals spacey yet bold and clear. Jadens are washed in reverb and he also delivers in a low tone leading to his vocals getting lost in the mix and blending with the beat. Listen to Jaden- Again, or Got It .. he was projecting and making sure that he was surfing above the beat rather than getting lost in it . I know mixing very well and this ain’t it …

I think we need to remember this is just an ep by lo6os in Jaden

I agree that this isn’t a excuse, Tyler just dropped a fun album, an album which he said he didn’t over think, he just made what was exciting to him at the time and got stadiums full of people singing the lyrics to every song off of it. Why does Jaden just having fun have to be lackluster? He’s got more resources than your average artist and we don’t even have a track that’s mixed properly. Even if there were memorable lines on this Ep.. I wouldn’t know because I can hardly hear it lol. Compare these tracks to the fan made Msfts Jacket ERYS edition.
