Yeah, I remember you flip flopped a lot last year, but I did the same thing! When you were ranting about NWETS being a massive disappointment, I think I said something like "dude, it's not Yeezus, or 12 Reasons, or Blueprint, but it's a solid hip hop album. Standard boom bap with some dream pop shot thrown in for some reason." And you agreed.
The. I started hating it. Then I started liking it. Now I see it's going to be considered a classic of our era by many. I appreciate the pbr&b vibe, and the synthy sections more. It's just not the kind of rap that will ever be top 10 material, because I've heard Jay-z go there and back again. It's derivative, but it's a good album. Props to Drake for making a better record than Lil Wayne last year. That's something.
