the thing I found funny is that it talked bad about MM4, 3 Kings and Dice Pineapples which are probably gonna be in people top 4-5 songs on the album, from what I seen by peoples comments on twitter.

Id give it a 8.5, its not a perfect album, but its pretty damn good.

LOL @ 8.5. thats damn near a great album rating. I mean if you don't think there are albums WAAAAAAY better then this then you're stupid. I mean Telflon Don is light years ahead of this !! and thats like a 8.5 or 9

well we will see in about 24-48 hours I guess, lets see what impact is.

I personally think the !! is sonically a classic, but its not perfect. If I hadnt heard TBD and Rich Forever for 7 months, I would say its a 9.5, or closer to perfect. I like almost every track on it, but 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, are the ones I usually let ride, then I skip to 15, 16, 17. But Day 1 I was listening to 11 alot and 12. Like I said I like em all but those are the ones I have been continuously riding to since it dropped.

And yes, Im starting to waver if its his best work, its his most cohesive album to date, but TD man, that was a classic to me to, so Ive been flip flopping on which is better.

Dude summed it up the best when he said this was supposed to be Ross's victory lap and the biggest album he ever does and it's nothing close. It's worse than Teflon Don and Deeper than Rap. It's worse than Port of Miami too and that was before Ross was doing the !! he does now

yeah, its pretty easy when its your true opinion.

So if I hear things differently than you do, then cool, but Im not making !! up just cause.

See this is how much people differ, I think 3 kings is fire. How they link their verse is cool

"I only love her when her hair long" "I only Love her when her[..] fat" I only love here when her eyes brown"

The beat is that gator to me also.

As far as twitter, no one ever said quality. Consider it like a poll, or scientific experiment. People give their opinions on !!, and most people like those songs I said.

Not to mention GFID and Rick Ross have been trending since Wednesday off and on(trending right now) so its an obvious hot topic.

Bro, again, we got different ears, the lyricism and production are top notch to me.

Its just different.

most people like music thats wack, thats why Ross is getting shine in the 1st place. Look at the game and tell me peoples opinions on what good music is holds weight. Chief Keef was trending on twitter [pic]

but I will say I dont think there are any radio k!llers here, its a concept album for the most part, laid back and smooth, but nothing I could see being top 40.

What the !! is wrong with all these Ross stans on BX defending the !! out of this album? It was boring and nothing special, I think Ross is nice and has a great ear for beats but this !! was just not that good. Production wasn't even special, Ross wasn't special, no replay value, this album is a snoozefest with a couple of nice tracks on it.

Ross can do way better than this.

!! the hipsters and backpackers....ross make music for the dudes into money and women

07-30-2012, 12:10 PM

Yall some funny dudes man, ill give yall that.

If i was watching Danny Marino throw beams on Sunday, what would it mean if I said that:

If you asked once:
That Boy is the Goat!!!

If asked me twice:
My Dog is throwin that Heat!!!!

If asked me three times
That Man right there is Pretty Darn Good!!!

So because I switch up superlatives (note the alliteration) Im softening my stance?

07-30-2012, 12:21 PM

The album might be a little too Soulful for some people who have trained their ears to the Euro sound on WTT.

Mike Jordan or Kobe Bryant would slap the!!out of you for saying they're pretty darn good. We insiders call Michael Jordan the GOAT and know that him getting 6 Rings and all those scoring titles while also making sure plenty of Hall of Famers during his time never got to see a ring meant he was seriously the best.

Not pretty darn good. Good day sir, you defeated your own argument

He has you typing up a frenzy.

Are you always this easily disturbed?

I didnt see your opinion get shook after some corny white boy magazine reviewed this album, howcome his did?

I didn't get all giddy when Rolling Stone gave GFID 4/5 and I didn't get grumpy when PitchFork gave it 6.8/10. Im more into the 1-5 Mics & the XXL ratings and opinions are opinions.

I have never seen people invest so much energy into something/somebody they dislike for no valid reason like this, it's odd. 44Wade is simply sharing his opinion and he gets attacked from every angle by G-Unit/Shady/CTE/WGM and others.

It's really sad.

This !! dont surprise me. Pitchfork dont like hiphop albums anyway. That album was solid. Straight up. The only niccas complaining about that album are dudes who dont like ross anyway. We know whats going on. This is boxden. Where ross is hated with a passion cause niccas like to follow jeezy, 50 and shady. Be real. That !! ignorant to me. Like that other guy said, the lowest you can give this album is a 7.5 and thats after after being very critical. But on a average scale, its a 8.0-8.5 to me. Boxden aint the only place to get reviews. Go to any any unbiased forum,blog,review,etc and you will that between 85-90% of the reviews for that album were positive. Atleast thats what I saw when I looked it up. And I search multiple places. Why would I depend on a biased forum to tell me the truth? Most people dont have this album anyway cause everybody doesnt have access to high speed internet to get the leak and everybody isnt computer savy to get the leak. By Wednesday, you'll have more reviews coming in anyway after the album release. Watch the perception of that album change and watch the real unbiased reviews come in. Same exact thing happened with teflon don. Just like when these dudes say RF is better than GFID and we all know that RF was a throwaway promo project with tons of added last minute, cheap instrumentals and we all know GFID was more complete, better lyrically and musically and wasnt as repetitive as RF. GFID was another solid project just like the others
