Soul impersonating rappers on These Days. Hunna stax- the epitome of rap musics content Dub sac- catchyness is more important than substance World Runners- rapped like lupe Nevermind that- making fun of gangsta rap like Rick Ross Twact- soulo impersonated Lil Wayne Just have fun- Drake, not migos, drake " no new niggas and business is business" Kendrick Lamar interlude- what rap could be. Then he began to make more creative music after that song. He's dressed as Jesus to signify that he sacrificed his album to save us from rap these days.

Out of his first 3 albums before 'Control Systems' I feel like 'Longterm Mentality' may have received a positive review but that's it. The first two were ok and much like this one in which there were songs you liked and songs you didn't like. Ab's approach to music has always been the fact that he's just a 'regular' dude. This dude has a whole song dedicated to being dissed by chicks because he didn't have the finer things in life. It was something I could relate to as a listener and I appreciated that about Soul.

Think I finally cracked what soul was doing. He was doing a sell out album for mainstream while keeping positive messages - meaningful songs - mixed in like tree of life, sapiosexual etc so that people in mainstream would listen he kinda explains it in this quote "When you feed a sick dog, you have to mix the medicine in with the food that it likes already". It relates to the album artwork as well he's dressed as Jesus with the cross. Jesus Died (Bad thing - Soul doing a sell out album) so that man's sin would be rid off (mainstream will listen to positive messages) and also so he can get his big pay check, not like he's doing all this for everyone and not taking home any of the money he's made from this. Also just mocking modern day rappers to show how easy it is to make that style of hip-hop.

I was following Ab-Soul's trajectory this year primarily through his guest verses on tracks, and I definitely saw him trying to broaden his mainstream appeal. His verse on "Came-Thru/Easily" by Chuck Inglish was not the most content filled song, but it definitely showcased his asshole side compared to the abstract. I feel his best verse this year was on Smoke DZA's track "Hearses", because it took his typically introspective and intelligent rhymes and made them more simplistic and appealing to the average commercial listener. I definitely had high hopes for this album, but I definitely feel it left me down, because at the end of the day, I feel he was trying to take the mainstream sounding Soulo he had been developing over his features this year, yet assembled an unsuccessful set of songs of him trying to be more commercial.
@gat0rcrazzi10 жыл бұрын
Ab-soul did a nice job portraying how Hip Hop Pop is nowadays (hence the title of his album) I'm a big TDE fan , but what AB-Soul did was a risk to his sound and career. And he took a good risk. He portrayed it better than it couldve been because it worked , and for those of you who do not know, Ab-SOul meant this entirely. Ab Soul has a very intelligent mind (Ex Control System having the most witty and thought provoking songs) and would not stoop down in such a manor for pop appeal. He is not indulging this Hip Pop, he is justifying mocking it and how it portrays the low of the low of blowing money, lust , and low lacking in meaning lyrically. He also went as far as to dress up like Jesus to show how most want to be bigger and greater than human in on his album cover art. He said himself that he made the album based of the last 2 years of Hip Hop.

You guys have to keep in mind the concept of the album these days... it's somewhat a social commentary about music u know these days lol so even though I personally didn't like it as much as control system either I think one of the goals was to mock the modern industry a bit and I think based on that he did a pretty good job

@user-wu2fm3lp7y10 жыл бұрын
I know this is a late comment but I just wanted to share this with you you guys. So as you guys may already know Ab had sad he was working on an album with JMSN a while ago. And in a recent interview I saw of him he said that he actually turned in TWO albums at the beginning of the year. This other album was called Unit 6. I had no idea that he actually had finished that project. I had thought it was scrapped. But there was 2 songs that came out from that album and one of them was called Nibiru. In the interview he goes on to say that that album didn't work out on the business end of things. So if you guys listen to his song Nibiru, that sounds like that dude Ab-Soul! It has more substance than this whole album with just that one song. And it's not like I want it be a Control System 2 or anything but that's that Ab- Soul that fans like me are used too. I'd like to hear what you guys think about that. This album is a cool chill album though.

Not gonna lie I was looking for a CS 2, and when I first listened to the album I thought it was a CS "Songs that didn't make the cut" album. But after thinking about what he went through these past years, I let it slide. Still not nowhere near impressed, he can do 50x better and he knows it. Hope fame isn't getting to him, because so far this is the worst TDE album this year. (Rap wise.. SZA doesn't count) Cilvia Demo and Oxymoron took a huge dump on this.

Ab-Soul is likely to be one of those who could have but probably won't have a lasting career. I don't mean be a mainstream, widely popular rapper; I don't think his sound and style could fit that mold, which is by no means the ideal. He seemed to be defining himself - Control System was a powerful step in that direction - but this album is inconsistent and scattered. I wonder what the ultimate goal for him is as an artist: sell records, make classics, a mix of both?

So you can too be that for a second. Dig what I’m saying? Take that with you. I know that when I say these things, you can actually be that for a second, or you can be me for a second, or say it back with me.

If Ab Souls intention was to make an album depicting todays hip hop scene (hence the title these days) and you come to the conclusion after you listen to the album that you did not like it, what does that mean? Think about it each song i guess represented different aspects of today's hip hop and the songs you liked shows what you enjoy about hip hop "these days." The song that you rock with with amazing features show that there are artists out there who put out quality music. The songs that aren't your favorites are most likely mimicking the top 100 popular songs. What is he trying to say?
