'Based on a True Story' - New Album drops March 28


Recommended Posts

Maaaan, he saw that a lot of us were not feeling "Pretty Girls" and was quick to drop some heat. That "expect me on the stage" line is kinda gangsta.  I just wish the host would shut up. This better be on the next album.

Ya that was unreal. He’s getting rinsed in the comments as per usual but that was so good imo. 
 

hope we get this next album and that it has some of this on it. 

Yeah the comments are brutal. I feel like he just can’t win. People just keep hating on him.

It's strange. A lot of comments for this era have been positive outside of "Pretty Girls". I guess this channel just isn't for him.  I will say that host is super annoying.

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.
