You know what's really weird? Even though Future has been the object of a great deal of smack talking on my part, and I've said several times that he's gone to shit since Honest (except for those hot tapes), I out DS2 on the other day and it didn't eat nearly as much shit as I thought it did.
Now I'm playing Evol just to give myself a breather from Pablo, and ... you know, there's plenty of crap on here, but there's some fire too. "Lie to Me" is a legitimately good song. And "Seven rings" is just dumb fat beat fun. I don't hate it! I REALY wish he'd give actual rapping a shot for once, but whatever.
"Photo copied" has a really good sample, reminds me a bit of Timbaland.
Of course all of it is redundant as hell. Makes me thankful for that everything-and-the-kitchen-sink quality that TLOP has, because if you get sick of one Future song, there's no real skipping forward to something different. Sick of a song means sick of the album and probably sick of Future for a while.
But this is WAY better than Wiz's new album. Which is an absolute stinker and actually makes me a little sad.
