I don't hate mgk or (current) Trippie Redd as much as most people do, but collabing with both of them on a 'sadboy' album just wouldn't seem to work for JID and sounds like it would end up awful — and listening to the song, yup, painfully boring and JID didn't feel like he belonged there as expected. Does he have some sort of good bond with either Tripp or mgk and agreed to help em out? Honestly feels like a fever dream at the fact he agreed on this lmao, would be even funnier if he was the one to come up with being a ghost feature.

It's always fun when artist subreddits do these and I haven't seen one for the mgk subreddit (my favorite artist always) and wanted to be the one to rate :)

Can be anything including old mixtape songs, I've heard everything from mgk more than a hundred times (factually, according to my lastfm) so go for whatever!

This album is a really mixed bag here when it comes to the mgk community, some people love MS, others hate it and a lot of people view this as the worst album mgk's ever released. A good amount people, including myself, have this as their favorite mgk album too, so it's pretty dependent on the mgk fan you ask ask about it.

For me, as I said above, this is my favorite album mgk's released so far, I give his discography so many relistens all the time as he's my favorite artist and nothing tops this album for me but TTMD is close (and this is coming from someone who always listens to rap so if you knew me it'd be surprising for it to not be Hotel Diablo etc.)

This is also my favorite album ever, I can listen to it on loop for ages and never get sick of it honestly but I will accept it and say factually I don't think this would be in the discussion of a top 3 mgk album.

I think this is a really great sequel to TTMD, it doesn't fit the exact vibe from that and leans more on punk here than pop but that's what makes it really special for me, and the blend of rock, rap to acoustic jammed into the tracklist here is just a perfect blend; he knew where to put the songs and what could fit this albums vibe and aesthetic and I love it.

That being said, I can recognize some obvious cons and why people would dislike it; focusing on the album lyrically you can say this album is pretty "whiny" and such but I don't really mind it, I mean he is trying to fit the angry punk aesthetic he wants for this album and he nailed it imo and his voice is perfect for it. Though I do think if I put myself in a factual perspective his best would for sure be TTMD or HD.

How do you feel about it? Do you like it, do you hate it, is it your favorite, is this a high ranking in mgk's album or low ranking? I wanna hear, feel free to drop your favorite track(s) in the comments too :)

Feel free to specify a genre

If this is your third time seeing this post mb it got doubled then I just deleted both and posting this properly

By playlist I basically mean songs I like, so don't mind how diverse some replies could be 😭

I know mgk probably isn't in his sadboy roots for now telling by his latest projects but whether he does punk or rap music for this concept of a project, I really wanna see him do more stuff with 24kGoldn, I know 24kGoldn's relevancy cannot compare to how he was in 2020-2022 but I think a project between him and mgk would just be perfect, their styles compliment the hell out of each other without even having a song together other than Climb and I think they could be a practically perfect duo, and if it were to happen.. "holy shit did I just wake up to it still being 2020?"

To me, this is my personal favorite mgk feature and even one of my favorite songs of all time and I see nobody talk about it at all. The way he slides on such a sweet summer beat like this mixing his General Admission and BINGE style of rapping on a SoundCloud gem is just perfection and way better than the original song in my opinion as he just adds so much more to the song. Being a SoundCloud rap fan for as long as I can remember and a semi-fan of YBN, I don't think I could've ever seen this coming at all lmao, I guess Nahmir grew up an mgk fan or something — notheless I'm not complaining. Such a banger and summer song.

Whenever I see discussions on people's least favorite project by mgk, it's always this or genre : sadboy and honestly I feel like people clown on this too hard— maybe I'm on the wrong side of the community but this project is really good in my opinion

Now is it top tier? No, he has miles ahead better projects but I don't have anything against this EP at all and I feel like a majority of the hate comes from it being made during the Eminem beef so people would've expected mgk to put his best effort on a project so Eminem fans could be impressed and become a mgk fan or whatever

But I can say with confidence I'm pretty certain this project isn't meant to be taken as a serious project— keep in mind this is an EP and not a full album despite it being listed as one on streaming platforms so it's not gonna be all serious as a full album would be which continuing on what I was starting with, is that I think this EP is just meant be straight party bangers; a majority of the songs have the chorus throughout the entire song more than verses like LATELY for example, just like Wild Boy where the entire song was literally "YEAH BITCH, YEAH BITCH, CALL ME STEVE-O" and people loved and found mgk through that song so he probably thought with the success of Wild Boy he could make an EP with party bangers like that that people would love; mgk is a great lyricist and I feel like he could've made a serious project if he wanted but it feels he chose an EP with party songs to get more songs he thought fans would love that are just harmless fun.

Anyways this isn't really a debate post; just sharing my thoughts, you can comment your own opinions too! Do really love seeing mgk fans talking about one of his most underrated projects, this entire EP has been looped for rhe past few weeks

To be real though I do wish he dropped this a little later because dropping it during the Eminem beef just made non-mgk fans clown on him harder, but Kells does what he wants and I'm all for that
