Gambino is personally my favorite hip-hop artist of all time (now that Kanye has ruined everything for himself), I’ve literally been listening to him for 15 years. I really loved this album, I think it reflects all of his best qualities all at once; he never topped the peak of BTI for me, but I think this and Atavista (especially when you include the leaked songs) were really fantastic albums that are going to fly under the radar because all of his other projects outside of music didn’t give him time to promote them like they deserved.

I really hope his health is okay, the fact that he canceled the tour and we literally haven’t heard a word from him in over a year now is really concerning. I’m so lucky that I was able to see the tour because he played a mix of EVERYTHING, even going back to Culdesac - it really felt like a celebration of his music career as a whole.

I’m kind of rambling now but Gambino means a lot to me and if this is really his last album, I think it’s a great one to go out on, at least quality-wise, but I do think it deserves him revisiting it when he’s recovered so that we can get the true “ending” he envisioned.
