All it took was one listen to know this album was never gonna live up to the hype….

What's an album that gave you that feeling?

Not necessarily a bad album, but one where the expectations were through the roof and after the first listen you knew it wasn't going to deliver on all the hype surrounding it.

The Fall Off didn't deserve the hate and clears GNX

Title. Imo Fall Off is way better than GNX in terms of rapping. GNX has better production but that voice Kendrick uses gets repetitive and annoying to me. J Cole rapping his ass off on basically every Fall Off track was so hype, and yet people still get disappointed in it. Sure it was a little overhyped and it may not be Cole's best but it's still a fantastic album regardless, very enjoyable, probably my favorite of the year. I genuinely think it will go down as one of the most underappreciated albums by Cole and in hiphop in general. The game is going to feel Cole's absence in coming years, I can definitely anticipate that.

More songs like I’m So Paid - Akon?

I recently got sober and feel modern rap is both triggering with low vibrations and just stale. I’ve been going back to a lot of that good vibe 2000s rap and Mase, but want to find more with this uplifting vibe. As much as I love Nipsey and motivational artists similar, I’m looking for fun catchy songs as well to keep me in a good spot.

What’s your favorites from this vibe? Any recommendations would be huge!
