Vince Staples - Ramona Park Broke My Heart - Uncut Reaction (Patreon Exc)
Added 2022-04-08 16:24:21 +0000 UTCDropbox killing me with the thumbnail again, looking like The Undertaker. This one has a few technical issues at the start and honestly, the low-key nature of the record means it wouldn't really have worked as a YT vid.
In fact, there are going to be more Patreon exc album reactions and less on YT. While I'll still absolutely hit album reactions on YT for big records or ones that could reach a new audience, i think just churning out albums every week isn't doing me or the channel any favours.
So, expect more on here, uncut, and more varied stuff on YT. JD x

Powerful stuff. Reminded me of Nas' "I Gave You Power" which IIRC is him rapping from the perspective of a gun also

2022-04-10 00:24:24 +0000 UTCYea overall its is a good album with some GREAT songs couple of em are Fr Special ( when sparks fly & the blues) and it sticking to the concept overall gives it a warm feel along with the production love the depth vince keeps showing, his self titled was my fav and most played album of last year I've already heard this one like 10 times 😅 very enjoyable, in the car too.

2022-04-09 03:03:03 +0000 UTCYou should also check out the other album that dropped yesterday, Full Court Press by Big KRIT, Wiz Khalifa, and Smoke DZA, it is a fantastic vibe!

2022-04-08 22:13:57 +0000 UTCTend to agree, I think he did this style more successfully on the previous record and this one being double the length didn’t help. But still, some strong songs on there

2022-04-08 21:23:47 +0000 UTCReally hype for the more lowkey album reactions; it’s a breath of fresh air compared to the super produced records. Just gently mentioning Dijon’s album Absolutely again 😬, But tuned in regardless 🤞🏽

2022-04-08 19:36:40 +0000 UTCYou def shouldn’t have to worry about upholdin any weekly reaction upload schedule, cuz not only is that a lot of work but that also heavily depends on the music that drops each week. Incentivizing ppl to join Patreon’s smart AND it lets you be comfortable, so take whatever direction you need to and we’ll be right there with you Jon. 💯

2022-04-08 19:34:59 +0000 UTCFor clarity on “when sparks fly”, the entire track is love song from the perspective of a gun. The owner of the gun in the second verse gets arrested for presumably a murder and the gun just has to sit and wait in its “hiding place” longing to see him again. This album REALLY grew on me after a few listens, felt very mid initially. Great reaction as always Jon!
