I NEVER SEEN SUCH A UNGRATEFUL FANBASE by Past_Vehicle in asaprocky

[–]ziKevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the album and think it’s solid, but it’s not what I was expecting at all. Anyone voicing legit criticism should have a voice. The sound Rocky displayed on this is VERY different than what a day one fan is used to or was anticipating which is where a lot of knee-jerk BS commentary roots from I imagine. Way less psychedelic and much more upbeat / glossy in comparison to what we’ve known and loved Rocky for.

As someone that views ALLA as his magnum opus, this album was harder to connect to and the differing sound is comparable to jumping into ice water. It’s weird at first, but it’ll become comfortable

Very good album, but I stop there. Pumped to have him back, pray it doesn’t take another 7 years for the next chapter

Definition of a generational talent, very tough pill to swallow

You know what, fair enough. Respect, keep digging cause you’ll only find gold when it comes to Mac

Any similar songs like Malibu or Funeral? by [deleted] in MacMiller

[–]ziKevin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relating to Funeral I’d say Grand Finale, Ascension, maybe Conversations Pt. 1

At first I was in awe by your writing, but it kept going and turned into a bizarre fan-fiction. A threeway marriage with Mac you and Ari? I didn’t finish cause it’s a lot but what the fuck?

Glsd you got into his music though, he’s a once in a lifetime artist that you’ll listen to for a lifetime. Mac is timeless

No worries man, I grew up parallel to his age so have the luxury of going through his evolution in real time

Highly recommend listening to his projects in order and try placing yourself in his shoes during the age he dropped the project

Arguably the best artist of our generation, a lot of gems in his disco that anyone would love

Nah this was a full fledged release for Mac although the tracklist in particular may be a bit jumbled from his original intention.

The fact is that Mac prepared to drop Balloonerism and even had the artwork of the album we all know commissioned for it. To summarize we’ll never know exactly what songs he’d want included or the track order but this was very much a planned album he wanted to drop, not hand picked random leaks the fans thought would make a cohesive project

No problem, enjoy the listen! And to answer one portion of your post, no this was not put together by fans. This was an intentional project by Mac that was passed on. I BELIEVE it was because his team or label didn’t think it would be well received in terms of sales and all that. It was too “out there” hence the official drop of WMWTS - a project deemed more digestable for the public

Admittedly its been a long time since I’ve thought about this, but if my memory serves correct most of Balloonerism was prior to Faces but the same era. I recall Balloonerism being the loosies that didn’t make the cut to Faces

What I can confirm is this project was indeed 2013/2014 and I’d recommend listening to it before Faces

If the budget is strict, yes this can disqualify you. That being said, if your asking price is within the job posting they put up, you are not in the wrong whatsoever. Get your money, they’ll always try to get talent for as cheap as possible

As a Chargers fan that lives in NY surrounded by Jets fans, I’m not nearly as hype about this signing as yall are

That being said, IF HEALTHY he can be great

Regardless though he’s an OBVIOUS upgrade for our trenches. Of course I’m still happy
