I get what louder's saying. Long.Live is *mostly* cloud-rap kind of purple. But then you got "Wild For the Night" (noted) or something like "1train" that sounds like 90's boombap, or "Fashion Killa" which is like some 90's radio ish, or "Phoenix" which is... something entirely unique. It's def got a pretty diverse set of sounds opposed to Live.Love's singular approach (aside from "Trilla").
This new record feels like a step in a diff direction - even though we heard samples of what was coming, it's not what I expected. But I love it. I'm sorry but I think it's way better than To Pimp. That record is impressive as F, but it's not enjoyable to sit through. This... man, this I was just enjoying every second of it.
Do I think it's BETTER than Live.Love or Long.Live? I don't know. Not right now. But do I think it has potential to grow on me to that degree? Why not? Rocky's a genius w/ making ALBUMS and this thing is a beast.
Pretty sure it's my fav rap album of the year right now.
