kool a.d dropped a fun mixtape with his buddy kassa overrall, features them rapping over beats from hot n*gga, try me, and no flex zone. i actually really like it
key came to my school to perform with one of our improv troupes earlier this year, and he was insanely funny. so quick the whole time, easily generating hilariously detailed voices and characters seemingly from nothing. that's a dude who has earned his success.
so I'm just finding out about TDE's pre-order scheme for the new Jay Rock...it seriously might be the stupidest release strategy for any record in the 2010s and that's saying a lot
I think it's an interesting strategy which could be handled better with a bit of a change up.
I like the idea of putting the fate of the record release in the hands of the consumer, but not showing how many pre orders are required is a big dick move because then TDE can move that theoretical number whenever they want.
that's actually what makes it irritating, it's too transparent. plus it could backfire if the album is a disappointment to a lot of the people that pre-ordered it. it just seems shady to me
and ya @ttk the lack of a specified number of pre-orders is the most shady thing about it
i liked the pre release track alchemy a lot, but i feel like the rest of the EP didnt jive with me all the way. gotta let artists test the water tho i guess, no pun intended.
