1. Without the sample and Peggy's rapping, the beat for "babygirl" is insanely bland and average until the guitar part. Listening to the instrumental/sampleless versions of the ER songs makes me really appreciate how necessary Peggy's "percussion rapping" is on the album. Some of them literally don't sound complete w/out it.

2. "Bridges on Fire" ft. Buzzy Lee has grown on me after I've listened to more since the initial release. While I still personally think it's the least good Peg-Lee collaboration ("Don't Put Anything On the Bible" & "i lay down my life for you" are still untouched IMO), it's a good song in its own right. I think originally I'd have given it a 5.5 - 6 out of 10, now I'd give it a 7 - 7.5 out of 10.

Reasons why I picked some of my options:

JID - Long time ago, Peggy posted on Twitter to basically say The Forever Story was great and they he'd love to collaborate but thought JID would find his beats "offensive". JID responded saying he likes Peggy's work and would be down to work together. To this day, nothing has come of it.

Tyler, The Creator: There's an interview from a WHILE back where Peggy was asked his thoughts on Tyler, and he responded by saying Tyler's a good business man and he respects him (and we know based on his comments of praise towards BTS that he likes people with a particular business/work ethic).

Clairo: They're just good friends who are both great artists that haven't actually collaborated yet (or at least, they've never released anything together).

The Weeknd: I believe when Hurry Up Tomorrow released, Peggy posted on his Instagram story that he thought the track "São Paulo" was incredible and said that he "wished he made the beat". This indicates to me that he, at the very least, respects Abel's work and would be fine working with him on sumn.

I previously said that "head" off of ER was a song I wasn't too crazy about in one of my last posts. After listening to it again (and the instrumental only version), I have realized that while the lyrics themselves might not be the greatest (even for Peggy standards), it made me remember how immaculate & experimental the beat is!

So yeah, I no longer consider head mid, it's actually kinda sick. That's it.

EXPERIMENTAL RAP is just as good of an album as OFFLINE!, SCARING THE HOES & Veteran.

Yes, there, I said it.

Now, is it a perfect album, no. But guess what, no JPEGMAFIA album is. MOST of JPEG's projects have at LEAST one song I either don't like or am not too crazy about:

Black Ben Carson: Black Stacey Dash, FDAU, ALL CAPS NO SPACES
-
Veteran: THIS SONG IS A SAFE SPACE, Libtard Anthem
-
All My Heroes Are Cornballs: Sick, no disease
-
EP!: ROUGH 7!, BALD! REMIX
-
EP2!: Sick, no disease
-
OFFLINE!: NEMO!, THE GHOST OF RANKING DREAD!
-
SCARING THE HOES: Where Ya Get Ya Coke From?, Manic!
-
ILDMLFY: Sick, no disease
-
EXPERIMENTAL RAP: head, ywalmcw,bywnlwcm

I understand that, to some, liking this album makes me a bot and a cornball and a JPEG glazer and a loser (which, it's weird that being that 3rd one is a problem for some on this sub, but whatever). And that is okay, I can live w/ that.

To anyone who actually doesn't like this album or don't feel too crazy about it & have honest critiques of it, that is okay too!

To anyone who's (still) just hating/trolling for the sake of hating/trolling or because Peggy said sumn 'bout ur favorite rapper MONTHS AGO, you suck and ur weird!

That's it (also MODs, when are y'all gonna add an Experimental Rap user filter/tag?)

I know there's plenty I couldn't include 'cause Reddit only allows 6 poll slots. If you'd unvault any track not on the list, say it in the comments.

Me personally, I'd ask him if he's still planning on releasing EP2!: DIRECTOR'S CUT one of these days.
