yeah, this starts really well (certainly hearing snoop sound fantastic and urgent in 2013 is a shock, anyway) and ends low-key nice. pleasant little curio to end the year with, i'm happy with it
like deej my 2010 love for d-f has otherwise completely and inexplicably dissipated

I guess DF was always just kind of a dreamy, vibey thing without a lot of substance to me...cumulus clouds of funk, this didn't really feel that different

Always felt like he needed an MC or at least someone else to bring his music into a bit more focus, so I'm looking forward to this.

didn't really like "Faden Away." some moments on this are a little better than that but overall this album is a mild disappointment. snoop's voice doesn't sound very interesting. also they took all the funkiest parts out of "Feels So Real"!!!!

yeah basically the trick lasted for about a year or two for me, scratched an itch, didn't really move anywhere

i think i'm benefitting from only having listened to one of those early mixtapes quite a bit and i kind of forgot so i never really burned out on it
― My Chief Keef Keef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 5 December 2013 15:49 (ten years ago) link
I can totally see that, I'm sure this stuff is as good as the earlier stuff, which seems like the nature of his work in general. there's no risk of failure, really

Its all a little too comfortable for repeat listening.

i agree his aesthetic is pretty narrow and unchanging but the guest vocalists he's used add a little salt to the mix and i think the whole thing is designed to create a certain woozy flow as discussed upthread, but you cd also mix this with the harder lockgrooves of classic G-Funk if you wanted
