In conclusion: Listen to it if you’re a fan - don’t if you’re not. I will say, 40+ tracks is a tough listen, but I would do the same for a #TechN9ne project and some of those have moments that are “sluggish.” I don’t think it’s better than #TheFallOff nor do I think it comes close to #GNX , I can make the argument that #DontTapTheGlass and #MaidOfHonor has some places to compare but #TylerTheCreator makes more cohesive projects and now, more than ever, it shows. If you’re someone that just wants to vibe and hear something in the background, you’ll have content that works for you. At the same time, you already had that with #SomeSexySongs4U .

The big question and ultimately, what this album will be judged on is: What happens next? If this truly got #Drake out of his #UMG contractual obligations, then #SteveStout ‘s thoughts about #Drake being independent might just come to fruition, albeit when he has significantly slowed down. We’ll see what happens over time.
