^that's what I'm saying. If I had to jump thru hoops (sign up for Tidal trial and then cancel it for instance) then I'm already going into the album annoyed with it.
Pro-Tip: It's a good idea to make your product easily available to consumers that want to give you money for it.
So like I say, when dude stops playing games and just releases the album like a normal album, then I'll stop being annoyed and have the ability to listen to it happily.
PS, I know this will happen. Even Drake tried to say that If You're Reading This wasn't an album. But I knew it would get a real release and then it did. Oh, and it got a Grammy nomination right? So I'm pretty sure it was an album.
Anyway, I'm not real worried. It's not even March yet. There is A LOT of time to hear 'albums of the year' yet.
Wiz isn't even in the conversation. I liked a handful of songs on this one, but this is perhaps his weakest major label album. No actually, it is definitely his weakest major label album.
Future's album is really good. Though I suspect that any number of rappers out there could have made this album really good considering the beats. I don't think there's anything all that remarkable about Future. At least not from hearing this album. Truth is, many rappers out there right now feel truly interchangeable to me. Which is not to say I don't enjoy them. But, shrug. I do really like this album though haha.
