Rae is great at picking grimey beats. But when he selects commercial sounding beats, he chooses the corniest shit ever. Like Tical 0: The Prequel beats. It's blatently cheesy and obviously aimed at getting more mainstream recognition, but the beats aren't catchy or unique enough to stand out. Just weak generic beats.

It bugs me that everybody is calling Raes album commercial sounding when you clearly don't listen to modern commercial rap or you'd know that this isn't it. This is MOR rap, not cool enough for the kids, not grimey enough for his older fans.
Wow, there is INTELLIGENT life on Wu-Corp!
Great insight JEM.
Agree.
If you don't go into it expecting funeral music, you might actually enjoy it.
Live life with no expectations, and you will never be disappointed. You will also enjoy things for what they ARE, rather than what you thought they would be.
Great point, claaa7 - I think he did pull off a commercial album that we can still appreciate.
And it's like you said before about albums having seasons...Rae dropped this just as the weather is getting warm...definitely fits the warm weather vibe nicely. BANG "F.I.L.A. World" with the windows down and see if that doesn't improve your mood!!!
Rae says "Sit right there, ENJOY THE CHAPTER!"

My thoughts exactly. I think people failed to realise this and I'm glad you wrote what you did.
As far as this album, yes it's a commercial sounding album but it isn't completely whack or bubblegum rap. It still has stuff the heads can vibe to and it has joints that fans of the current mainstream rap scene can appreciate. In fact on some of these joints Rae sounds refreshed and less sleepy than in previous tracks he's made.
This and Lex Diamond Story are his 2 weakest albums but for what this was intended to be I think Rae did a fair enough job of pulling it off.
I like it. It's nothing great, but it's not a bad new joint to listen to.
Emotions are for the weak, so I sold mine to the highest bidder.
Well thank you sir!
agreeeeeeeeeed
its aight .. sounds bitter on worst enemy, maybe his pop friends ditched the old black walrus.
repped
Retired.
Ha cilvaringz made it to the liner notes. My man. Anyway back to the music. Feel so bad for the young generation. French Montana n 2 chainz are 2 of the main reasons I don't listen to radio. Seriously Montana sounds like he raps with marbles in his mouth. N 2 chainz I don't have words for. Snoop actually sounds fresh on his guest spot. This album is average at best. Rae is Rae. Nothing really standing out for me. Call me old n stubborn I guess. Peace
what liner notes
Cd booklet shout outs^. Peace
why??
you got a psychical copy already?
