Post by: h2k4 on June 23, 2014, 10:40:47 PM: I'll have to check this out. It's a shame TDE did not put any kind of promotion behind this project and Ab-Soul whatsoever. I thought TDE was supposed to be this big powerhouse yet they really only pushing 2 artists; one more than the other.

Post by: Blood$ on June 24, 2014, 09:11:41 AM: I'd give it a solid 4/5 after one listen

Soul keeps stepping up lyrically, dude's lyrics can go over your head unless you really listen to him

Post by: LAC/EASTSIDE on June 24, 2014, 04:32:43 PM: I'm going to give it more spins but right off the bat, I thought it was tight. Vintage Ab. This cat is underrated big time.

Post by: Eddz on June 25, 2014, 12:11:11 AM: 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.

Post by: soopa-man on June 28, 2014, 06:36:35 PM: 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.

Post by: Blood$ on June 28, 2014, 11:09:01 PM: I'd give every track a solid 4/5 except "TWACT" and "Sapiosexual"

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

Post by: Blood$ on June 30, 2014, 10:20:36 AM: 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
Title: Re: Ab-Soul - These Days... (Discussion Thread)
Post by: Okka on July 01, 2014, 11:58:49 PM: 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.

Post by: Native American on July 02, 2014, 03:44:33 PM: 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. 8)
