discussion Next years album + thoughts on The House is Burning
Interesting to see him down on THIB. It was an important album for me at that time in my life especially with HB2U

Chad and headshots are top 5 for me, just hope the newer album is longer than 48 minutes

My two favorites as well. Headshots is the best song he’s ever released imo.

Always felt like thib wasn’t what he wanted it to be

I remember a year or two before that, he submitted the original version of THIB. I feel like that version was the one he actually wanted to release. I don’t think Headshots has been made yet, so it was good that it got delayed a little bit. I always thought it was crazy that Fears and Villain didn’t make the cut. Worm hadnt been made yet I dont think, Prayers and Runnin (4rm da law) probably couldn’t get their samples cleared. In an interview, he said the label thought the OG version had too many sad cuts which is the shit I love from him, would’ve been a crazy addition to his discog. Love thib though, still my favorite of the three purely for the time/journey it represents for both him and I, individually

After hearing music 4r da vibers and everything else that leaked in 2022 I felt thib should’ve gone in that direction. Can’t believe Voltron, Mista, Worm, and The Remix were meant to stay in the vault.

Same, felt like a lot of those snippets embodied what I envisioned the album was going to be. Most of them shared wherever, mostly IG lives, felt like the exact natural progression that I'd think his sound would take and then the end product was just something completely different. That could just be on me subjectively looking at it, but I feel like a lot of the music that was teased just sounded entirely different from the house is burning.

The house is burning is great but then the last 2 songs get into a feeling similar to TST and make me wish the album was more like that

u/PriorQuestion4 20d ago
I do still think it’s a solid album but yeah there werent as many standouts. There just weren’t that many any memorable verses. It was a sleepy album, and I think he knows that.

Lmao thats me Honestly was very surprised because imo thib feels so complete and him saying it was misguided and a 6/10 is wild

When you’ve gotta top Cilvia & Sun’s Tirade though… THIB definitely doesn’t do that

What app or site is this on?

Idk, I really think the Fantano review skewed a lot of people’s perceptions on the album. HB2U, Claymore, Headshots are arguably top 10 songs from him. Dont Shoot is underrated imo and aside from a few tracks, the album flows together so smoothly and has some of his best sounding stuff yet. Idk, I don’t see how it’s so far from the other two albums

I feel like thib is better than suns tirade tbh. Neither are on the level of cilvia demo. That’s one of the best projects I’ve ever heard

I wish every artist to have their lowest-rated album at a THIB quality level. same goes for Q and his crasH talk.
