i was pretty excited when tulips & roses came out last year and expected the next album to sound somewhat like his older stuff then he completely ditched that sound lol
Every artist makes multiple songs that don't make the cut, it's part of the album making process. The fact that these were the tracks chosen seem very lackluster and lack creativity at least to me.
I’ve listened to G-Eazy since 2013. The quality of his music has dropped dramatically. This album just solidifies that. I completely agree with you. This album is all over the place and i wish I could defend this. He’s gotta go back to the drawing board.
Yeah 2019 was around the time Scary Nights dropped which is a pretty good EP but also the time he started to have this identity crisis in his sound that has evolved into this which is very unfortunate. Thanks for watching tho I appreciate you giving the time 🙏
by far the worst “album” I’ve heard in years. the guy is just ruining his career at this point. He’s trying so hard to be edgy but it just comes off cringe as fuck
Yeah idk what his intended goal of this was, even just trying to sit through a few of the songs on repeat listens is really hard to get through. Thanks for watching though 🙏
Yeah its not looking good, I saw projections of it selling 6k-9k but I suspect that it's even worse then that. I expect a return to a These Things Happen sound with the next album.
@@snowchild9837yeah, because I mean to be honest, if he drops another bad album after this, there’s no recovering and his career as he’s known it is essentially done. He’s already fallen off pretty damn hard. Any further and he will forever be relegated to the land of the forgotten. And from a radio interview he did I watched that was just uploaded 2 days ago, I could tell from his demeanor that he knows this album was not well-received. He seemed kind of down to be honest. I guess we’ll have to wait and see whether or not this is the last time we ever discuss him..
Almost every song after 'The Beautiful and Damned' has been awful. The most recent song that was good was 'Time' from TTHT, However the likes of 'Anxiety' having a terrible up beat riff does not suit him AT ALL.
To follow this, the best song that he has released in the past 3 years has been 'Break from LA freestyle' which is 100% the direction/aura that we miss from him. 🙏 With a strong mention to the likes of 'At Will' which went reasonably hard. Also 'Legends Never Die' & 'No Sleep' which are unreleased tracks that are fire.
As a project it’s definitely not. He would have done better just chopping a few of these songs off and just dropping random singles while he worked on something bigger and better
@ynobigreck Fake? I'm from South Korea and I've been a fan of his since no one here knew him. And yet, G has never even been to Korea. He took his freedom, but the result was not what the fans wanted. Take a step back and look at reality, my friend.
The part that kills me the most is the album not having the same idea or like overall aesthetic throughout. TTH had the "come up story". WIDO was the "I'm living life to the fullest with my success". TBAD was "this seems fun but things aren't easy and I have a drug problem". AND EVEN TTH2 had the "I've kind of fallen off but its fine I got money and I still get girls". and then freak show is a mix of songs that don't belong together. g eazy's always had this fear to constantly change and grow as an artist which is cool but hes done it in the wrong way. instead of improving his rapping talent and ability to muster up great tracks hes just went retarded and created shitty emotionless music. His confidence is also at an all time low and you can hear it in his music. He doesn't do drugs anymore, hes aging pretty bady, he has like 100 tats all over his body, his sound is gone, he has hardly any fans. very few big names wanna work with him. Hes just turned into a loser who cant get it together.
Agree on all fronts, he just sounds tired and uninspired. I really like the run from TTH to TBAD and there was a hunger there. In contrast to now tho it's pretty much an entirely different artist and I don't think it's something he's gonna come back from but who knows.
What is your take on "In my Head" ? I agree with everything you said but this song is like he is trying to come back to the "old" G-eazy we used to love & we constantly ask for, although it seems like it still doesnt hit the way tother songs from TTH do. Idk sometimes i notice that maybe his voice has gotten so worse from cocaine and smoking that he cant rap clearly anymore. One last thing i would like to add is that he has so many unreleased songs that could literally save him ( Otherside, Bad meets Evil, Guns n Roses ,The otherside, waspy 2 etc), and still he didnt include any of them in the Freak Show.
Hey man, thanks for the comment and the watch through. I relistened to the track, and what I'll say is that the song is definitely one of the stronger ones on the album. It has an idea and keeps a consistent structure. The problem I have with it still though, is that it still sounds very generic, the beat is rather bland, and G-Eazy still is having a problem sounding motivated on these songs. It definitely does sound like something from a few albums ago where there was more ambition and drive. I even went back and listened to The Beautiful And Damned which is my favorite G-Eazy album, and the difference is insane. About the unreleased tracks, that's what I always find frustrating, not just with G-Eazy, but with a lot of artists where unreleased tracks often times sound so much better then the actual released material and we get songs like Femme Fatale and Anxiety instead. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching once again 🔥
Im a xasual fan but i love G easy. Even loved these happen 2. But the promotion and lack of hype, had no idea. I really thought these songs were old over new beats lol
The more you sell your soul... they force you to MAKE THEIR MUSIC... not purely from the soul like before.... it gets stripped over time especially once they sign that deal.
I wouldn't put it as selling his soul. Clearly the albums and songs are not to the quality that they used to be. I'd put it more as him just really running out of ideas and dedication. I think if he did indeed sell his soul, the songs on here would be much more derivative and chasing trends. I know Lady Killers 2 is going viral but I think that a lot more songs on this album will follow in that sound or chase it's trend. That's just my thing though. Thanks for watching tho and starting a conversation 🙏
@snowchild9837 The Beautiful and Damned... the Duality concept... songs like Leviathan prove it to a T... Music Videos like "My Year" he collabed in with the masonic checkerboard floor looking all blood sacrificial and all. The signs are out there. There is a reason why the monopoly over regular people in music is so huge... "Looks sweet, but the Devil's in the Details, The flow switch pace when the beat builds.... Lucifer..." Follow the $$$$. Social engineering. Getting with short haired dike lookin chicks too? A real lady killer can do better than that without all that money and fame... his old music was more original... once he became ABC famous that was it... they get paid to keep you at a certain vibration... MK Ultra real too so who knows if they own they own bodies/minds at that point... Eminem definitely a clone all robotic now... for example... I'll have to check out his latest music cuz I stopped for a while after that album.
i think its simple theres no emotion anymore before coming up he had a lottt of emtion and also at the pick but after that he felt too comfortbale and ran out of emotion
I completely disagree with the MGK statement. MGK is very talented as much as people hate on him. This G Eazy album tho is very dull. You may be right about HIM being creatively bankrupt but not MGK. MGK just dresses goofy and does crazy shit for shock value but music wise he is still very talented. I also disagree again on Everythings strange here. That was G Eazy last good project even though it’s not what I expected, it’s very good. Edit: commenting as I’m going through the video. Anxiety wasn’t as terrible as you make it out to be either. But I do agree that the album had no vision and was everywhere.
@@snowchild9837 I used to hate MGK! I actually didn’t even start liking him all like that UNTIL he switched genres. But I think a lot of people shit on Everything’s strange Here because it’s so different for G Eazy but I actually really enjoy that tape. This one is basic and bland however lol minus a song or two
I actually didn't mind Tickets To My Downfall I think it was a decent attempt. However, Mainstream Sellout for me was where i really didn't like where his sound was going. Genre: Sadboy further cemented that at least for me. Again I do appreciate Love You Forever but this was a very uninspired effort in my opinion.
Anxiety and In My Head were the only 2 songs that I liked. The rest of the album is forgettable. Can't blame the guy though, you can only make so many hits. Maybe he'll come back with something better next time. You never know.
Hey bro, so I'd definitely day this is still more of a rap album, so the first 4-5 tracks do tend to go more aggressive. Once it hits South Of France tho is where it does go softer in it's sound at least for me. So that point towards the end would be something that you may like more. Don't let my negative review deter you though, if you're interested definitely try it on your own cuz you may like it a lot more than I do 🙏 Thank you for watching as well!
3:00 about him doing the more folk music, he did it as well on these things happen too and it also didn’t work. It did kinda work on Tulips and Roses his 2023 single but overall good video
Overall the album is just not Good. I only like the song called South of France because it has a good beat and some nice bars. But other than that production wise, the album is not good at all. In my opinion he should go and experiment with his old sound. G-eazy's wake up call is his song lady killers 2 going viral on tiktok a few weeks ago. That should let him know that his old melodic/emotional Aesthetic sound is still relevant and Can make it even ever with the newer sounds we have available to make it more relatable for today's audience.
@mikeciffone I've stated my problems with the album, I didn't even mention some of the really sleepy rapping performances on some of these tracks and the other stuff that I mentioned in the video that I still stand by. It's cool that you like it, I never want to put down anyone that likes these albums that I critique but I just use this channel to soundboard my takes. I do appreciate the dialogue though even if we don't agree.
@@snowchild9837 Bro stop playing. You're grifting since the start of this video. You started out saying "and yeah he's STILL recording music", with so much bit*ch assness in your voice. This is past the music for me at this point. You are just a mark.
i was pretty excited when tulips & roses came out last year and expected the next album to sound somewhat like his older stuff
then he completely ditched that sound lol
saying he is creatively bankrupt when he makes around 200-400 songs for each album is crazy
Every artist makes multiple songs that don't make the cut, it's part of the album making process. The fact that these were the tracks chosen seem very lackluster and lack creativity at least to me.
Yea but they’re not good

G-Eazy's peak
2014-2018
After that it's been downhill 😐
Im so sad that im late fan of g eazy im start listning to him at 2019 and thats sad o didnt be a fan at his mumentom. I did like showbiz its deferent
Yeah 2019 was around the time Scary Nights dropped which is a pretty good EP but also the time he started to have this identity crisis in his sound that has evolved into this which is very unfortunate.

Love the album & everything he does
