I got to say I'm disappointed with this album, not really feeling the production.

I don't get why TDE is releasing this independently & only digitally. They have the rap game by the balls but this looks like they are taking a step backwards.

riff raffs new album is better then ab souls.

Several spins after...it's cool. Not better than his prior work.

Damn, that's cold.

Pretty solid album not as introspective as Kendrick's album, but definitely more well rounded and entertaining than schoolboy q album.  He is just really flowing over  the best beats he could find, and that makes it pretty dope for a time like now where people are looking for catchy singles and beats.  The only slip ups are the fake mustard sounding and that "twact" track and the track after where he tries to make a catchy club radio track, throws their and vibe way off.

I'd give every track a solid 4/5 except "TWACT" and "Sapiosexual"

definitely his most diverse and well rounded project he's done

[OG Snoopaveli]

i agree

Disappointed in the album.  Had high expectations and this didn't meet them.  A bit of a boring album IMO,

[Its Tyme For Blunts]

dope album 4/5. something new to smoke to

I feel this album's gonna be a grower for most people... the problem is there isn't any real classic or standout tracks but like I said I felt all the songs were solid except 2 of them which still weren't wack but just alright

[Okka]

I gotta give this album a spin, i gotta admit i haven't really listened to Ab-Soul's music except for a few songs here and there.

[Native American]

i have nor HAD expectations for this release, to old for that bullshit, its not the 90's any more.

im sayin its dope w/o listening to it, just cuzz i like dudes music already. cant stand his interviews though. lol
but you kids go ahead and steal our generations style and mimic it for your lack of originality..

im guessing because of the last song which is 23 mins, thats why the album wasnt gonna be released...... just a thought.
