    Contrarily to what the title of this record suggests, my girl has been trying to put me on to Peggy for a while now. She's always saying things like "Please let me peg you" and "One of these nights I'm going to be pegging you, you know". This review finally convinced me to let her do it tonight. Thanks Antonio!

      @@ImDaBaby I’ve met women who listen to Peggy and Death Grips. They’re usually in the metal/hardcore scene, tend to be weird, and have bad hygiene. Might catch them picking their nose in public or on a dating app photo. More than one woman locally has been this way.

    I'm convinced that "woooaaaaaaooww" sound on Steppa Pig is from Terraria

    I'm surprised I didn't like this one a lot.
    I couldn't hear them most of the time, but I don't know if that's because of the mixing or my car speakers. I feel like I missed a lotta good raps.
    While I like albums that are sonically adventurous and light on hooks (Earl's "Some Rap Songs"), I think the non-linearity of the songs here makes it hard for me to remember them as well as something like "Atrocity Exhibition."
    I do agree that instrumentally, this album is on a high level. I'd earnestly listen to an instrumental version if available.
    (I haven't tried a solo JPEG Mafia album yet, but I'm very interested after hearing this! Where's a good place to start?)
    I liked the middle 5 or 6 songs a lot, but I wished I liked the whole thing.
    I'd give it a strong 6. I'm still glad I tried it. I'll take the songs I like and return to it someday.
    Also Danny Brown could rap over a baby spitting up and sound on-rhythm. That skill is always impressive.
