ADL was always doomed since it was announced

2093 was not a good album it only received tons of love thanks to the Drake stimulus. We all knew ADL would adopt 2093s sound which would NOT be good.

He could’ve dropped anything and it would’ve got the same amount of motion. Let him have dropped lyfestyle(a sound that actually fits what he dropped on drakes album) he’d be 2x bigger than he is today.

All the previews ADL V1 snippets sucked, that’s when everyone knew it was over for him, unfortunately he had supporters of ADL which caused him to still along with it.

For some odd reason there were supporters of the “lose control” snippet which is honestly insane to as that’s the worst yeat snippet/song I’ve ever heard in my life, it sounds like a literal joke.

Not the mention the “regular person” and “7777” snippets which were absolutely abysmal. I knew if he were to drop this album it would 100% kill his career.

This caused to try to redeem himself by dropped “the bell” and “I’m Yeat” which then contributed to the making of his dangerous summer album, a fresh sound that was supported by the public. This then made people and myself hype for ADL again thinking it would sound like that, yet he decided to go the “lose control” route.

I honestly blame the fans that supported these terrible snippets. If he had gotten strictly hate on them we would’ve gotten a way better album.

Let’s go back to 2023 when afterlyfe dropped, great album good numbers but there was one problem… there was a good amount of hate. This hate came from casual/non yeat listeners that said the album sounded the same as all this others. But we will get back to this.

Later that year yeat announced afterlyfe deluxe which would then turn into lyfestyle v1, he’d preview snippets which would get mostly praise but also a good amount of hate for the same reason afterlyfe did… they claimed his music wasn’t evolving.

While yeat fans were absolutely hyped for the new release of the album lyfestyle v1 which features tons of grails today, yeat was given a golden opportunity which was being featured on drakes album FATD.

This blew him up where he peaked around 25+ million monthly listeners due to him having an amazing verse on the song “IDGAF.” This song matched the vibe and style of the lyfestyle v1 album which made the hype for it even bigger, even causing Drake fans to want to check him out.

But during this time the song “nun I’d change” on afterlyfe was getting alot of hype which had a edm type beat, which some claimed it to be his most experimental song on that album. With this and the hate he had been receiving for afterlyfe and lyfestyle snippets he came up with the great idea to completely scrap that album and give us 2093.

2093 was a completely different album from anything he’s dropped before. It gave us a dystopian futuristic sound that follows the character known as the “psycho ceo.” Now this album did great numerically but it also split his fanbase in half.

It brought a whole new wave of yeat fans that liked that sound and that sound only, while pushing old yeat fans away because it strayed away from what made yeat sound like yeat.

2093 was very experimental which is give him credit for. But it was dropped at the wrong time, perhaps it should’ve never been dropped at all.

This album is honestly why we are where we’re at today. His fanbase is way too divided. He then dropped a lackluster lyfestyle v2 which featured rage beats with a new preset. The problem with this album is that there was very little love put into it. 80% of the songs on the album featured looped verses which ultimately made the whole album repetitive. This album ended up being heavily understreamed causing his newer fans to then stray away too.

This is when his numbers started dwindling, now fans don’t know whether he’s going to drop a album that sounds like his new style or his old style which unfortunately causes fans to just leave the music all together.

2093 was very important to his discography yet detrimental to his career.

Now hear me out because I know 2093 has a lot of glazers

I personally enjoyed this album when it first dropped. From everything to the snippets and whatnot it sounded good.

But when you really look deep into the album it isn’t all that special.

Number 1 the whole albums sound gets boring after a while, not to mention it just sounds like movie music after some time. It’s not something you can just bump on the daily. Kudos to the production but it just sounds so unauthentic to yeat.

That whole album is Yeat playing the character of the “psycho ceo” which is basically just a futuristic dictator/asshole. That’s what he calls himself throughout the whole album. He’s not talking about anything of importance in the album at all. Not like his lyrics were was made him famous but it’s nice to have a good lyric here and there.

Some say he is lyrical on that album but in reality his just putting words together that mean something but in reality have no substance or relation to anything in yeats life. It’s just a character he’s playing.

In his older music he’d talk about things in his life such as his addictions, his come up, how his life changed etc.

That’s why I put albums like lyfestyle and 4L over it. They just sound more authentic than whatever the hell he’s saying on 2093. Whenever an unreleased 2093 song gets announced, i think i can speak for the whole community when i say it doesn’t even move us. For example with that whole “blind” GB came, nobody really cared for “roll” because 5 other lsv1 snippets were being previewed with it. And as soon as everyone found out what the song was gonna be, the group buy took forever to complete.

The difference with that 2093 and ADL is that in 2093 is authentic to his music but not himself, on the other hand ADL is authentic to himself(atleast right now) but not his music. That’s why 2093 is a little bit better than ADL in my opinion.

In conclusion 2093 is just not that great of an album and I disgaree when people think it can touch top 5 yeat albums. Anyway let me know what y’all think, maybe someone can change my mind on this topic.
