I dont wanna sound too harsh, but this is what i honestly feel.
I don't know what it is, but Will sounds off. It's like he's trying too hard to come off as dominant, superior, hard and at the same time he lacks confidence... which gives me a feeling of not being authentic. I totally understand why people are annoyed, especially the younger generation. He probably comes off as somebody who just started rapping.
I have also read some comments and you really can't refute the criticism, when people f.e. point out that he rhymed "tonight" with "tonight" three times on Pretty Girls. His flow is very basic, his rhyme scheme is the same as 20 years ago. It looks like he never touched the pen in the past 20 years.
As i mentioned previously, i think he is way behind his peers like LL, Rakim, Nas, which is very sad. His rap persona ego is just too big compared to what he delivers.
I'm sorry that i couldn't be more positive and i don't wanna spoil the excitement, but as a long time fan i just had to express my true feelings.
I still hope that he will go back to his roots and make some fun storytelling tracks with Jeff.

I’m honestly not so sure he cares about that anymore. At least that’s the vibe I get from his interviews. He’s releasing the music for himself, not to please the fans or to try and cement his legacy. He’s just saying what he wants to say, and honestly I’m happy that includes some silly songs like this. 

Anyone else worried like me! Whenever this album comes out. Besides from ''You can Make It'' and Work of Art'' Will's going to have 2 verse's a song atleast, and no more than 2 minutes a song like i'm worried about that '' Light em Up'' Was hard but Will only had 1 verse i wish he would have went in more and 2 minutes long just left me wanting a longer song and the songs he's been releasing on his channel 1 verse with a feature from someone else 2 minutes and it's over.
 
I'm so use to 3 verse Will songs and atleast over 3 minutes a song that it's going to be so disappointing if this album comes out and we only get 1 verse at the least 2 verses a song at the most and no longer than 2 minutes a song.

Must be at this point. The website is entirely about music so the fact that it links there must mean it’s music. Calling my shot with a music video for “bulletproof” 

It looks like matrix, it smells like matrix, but it is not matrix movie. Or something like " follow the white rabbit", like Alice in wonderland.  I think that there will be a release reveal of new music. I think that it is all about the music, not a matrix movie.

This is kind of a weird thing to make you tap out on an artist you've like for a long time.  Did you have the same problems with "The Rain"?  Let an artist express themselves.  You don't have to rock with every facet of their art. 

it seems that new album is called Rave in the Wasteland. He spokes about the name of the new album in "making of Work of art" video. 

yup just came here to post this! "Rave in the Wasteland"! I personally love that title.
