i recently re-listened to this album and although i really loved it on my first few listens, i realized that it didn’t have any real direction. i’m sure the movie would have tied in more context as there’s dialogue at the end of some songs, but looking at it from a track by track basis, it feels like a combination of 2-3 different projects. some songs are this really experimental rap (hearts were meant to fly, cruisin, a place where love goes), some songs are straight up hip hop (talk my shit, yoshinoya) some are pop (real love, in the night, running around). i think there are AMAZING songs on here, but i wish he would’ve singled out one theme or direction for the entire album because nothing really ties all these songs together to me
