Hey, ah, NR... How are you feeling about ALWAY STRIVE AND PROSPER?
I've gotta say, I like the production but... There is something about Ferg's voice that I just can't jive to. I guess I didn't notice so much on Trap Lord, but even with that album I wasn't anywhere near as into as you and louder were.
He sounds a bit like E-40, who I like, but whose voice is also a little ... hmm.. lame. Ferg is like 24 years old max and he sounds like a goddamn 40 year old, rapping about trap shit trough some weird Bill Cosby filter. (And not Cosby the rapist, Cosby the unthreatening middle aged '80s black guy... You know, the fictional Cosby!)
Anyway, I like "Psycho" but not the chorus. I like the beats throughout, but I don't like the songs. I... I don't think I like the album, actually. To put it simply, I don't think I like Ferg. He sounds ridiculously "safe" for a guy who appeared flexin' in a lion pose on his first album cover. It just doesn't work for me.
I'm a Rocky man. (Rocky maaaaan!)
