Yea I didnt love the album but I'm not sure what metric is using to call it not successful. Huge first week sales, top 10 hit lead single, several songs on the album have over 100 million spotify plays..

well also the lead singer was exposed as a creep

I feel like this one is demonstrably getting more shit than the others ever got though

Also could argue what immediately killed his career was the lead off single for his second album being this big song hyping him as "Mr Jones" and then Wayne immediately snatches the beat and his version is more popular

One of the best first week sales of that year for rap too (wild to go back to a time where A: Kanye's hype was so high "Be" could sell almost 200K in a week, B: G-Unit's hype was so high Tony Yayo could sell OVER 200K in a week, and C: at least 10 rap albums did over 180K in a week)

He did in fact confirm in the Rolling Stone interview for the album it was written exactly in 2013-2014

I feel like PTA vs the Coens is the real final even more than what the final will end up being

I voted PTA but Ridley is perfect for the show, despite what some snobby people were saying last time he won

Also a Patreon ep on his music videos? Cmon

I hate voting against the *one* woman in the whole bracket, but I need to punish Marie & David for rolling their eyes at Spike's first 3 movies during the last Patreon ep

would mostly agree, though this was the one song I really liked of Might Delete ("3001" was solid too)
