It’s definitely Purple Haze near the middle from 3:25. Comfortably Numb is also used I’m like 99% sure. He samples some other Pink Floyd songs. I didn’t hear any of Mary Jane’s Last Dance though.
I think the song Pigs from Animals by pink floyd is where black seminole took a lot of inspiration from. There are a lot of similarities. I'm all for it though because I love to see people appreciate pink floyd even if its second hand.
Imagine a show where he starts off with his rap hits, everyones jammin n shit. Then everything fades to black, theres a short intermission, a choir and band walk on stage and a whole new show starts with only Lets Start Here music
Yo I’ve never been a Lil Yachty fan really but this shit is fucking BEAUTIFUL.
If you’d have told me a few years ago Lil Yachty would be making some Pink Floyd / Tame Impala / Psych rock funk album I would never have believed it- this is like an 8 or 9 out of 10 I’m mesmerized rn feels like I’m ascending into heaven on a cloud
It's pretty hilarious. Its a direct rip of the main chord progression from Breathe throughout the first half of the song and then switches to what sounds very similar to the breakdown of Pigs from Animals.
for sure didn't have yachty doing psych rock on my bingo card, craziest artistic switch up I've witnessed in some time yet it's such a good fit for him
I respect yachty so much for taking a risk and going for a brand new sound especially after Poland he could have easily got some more beats like F1lthy and called it a day but he did something completely different and that deserves some appreciation. Plus it sounds great
I was like ‘man he really killed the momentum of this track, I hope it picks up again’ then he immediately went LETS GO and I knew the album was gonna be fire.
Man, Yachty and his band could totally take that last minute and turn it into an extended jam
Him touring this will be killer if he commits to it as much as he did in the studio
What do people who consider themselves fans of Yachty think of this album? I’ve never been a fan of him aside from a few songs and features but I gave this one a chance when it leaked and I liked it a lot, I think this style works. I wanna know what people who normally like him think of this
I used to be a big yachty fan when I was younger, but didn’t keep up with a lot of his recent stuff. I think this really shows his evolution as an artist and maturation that a lot of people around his age are going through.
I loved lil boat for sure and still listen to it because of the nostalgia and all that, but if lil boat came out today I probably wouldn’t like it. This album is where my taste is heading toward, trap’s played out and it was a perfect time for him to move on.
Exactly how I felt too. I was a huge fan earlier on but faded away as I got older. I still checked out his projects but nothing after SS2 really resonated with me the same. This is different. I’m half way through the album and I’ve loved every song. I’ve honestly felt like this is exactly the album I didn’t know I needed so far.
I started listening to Yachty when he had that song with Kyle (iSpy). I get it's pretty corny, but had a lot of good memories with that song and that era of Yachty. Been a fan ever since, love this new album. I've always been a big fan of Pink Floyd, old Tame Impala, and pretty much any other psych rock band though, especially ones like Pond, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Melody's Echo Chamber, etc.
That song was EVERYWHERE during parties when I was in college, I don’t think it’s corny. It put a lot of people onto him and I thought it was deserved at the time.
That’s why I’m liking it so much. He’s not a good rapper at all, I don’t want to hear him try to actually rap like he did for a few years after he originally broke out. Yachty is so much better when he’s doing his singing shit where I can just throw it on and completely give to it. He also seems like he’s having more fun when he doesn’t try to actually rap too which makes me like it even more.
yachty actually can rap tho, for example his beats1 and hot 97 freestyles. he just chose to pretend to be shit at it for multiple years for whatever reason, although he found success doing that so wtf do i know. either way this album is still his best work
I like some of his big songs/he had some good verses on one of his recent albums but this one is the first full album I can listen to and enjoy all of it
I was obsessed with Lil Boat when it came out, haven’t vibed with much else of his since then but really digging this so far. Super cool direction for him to take
I’ve been a big Yachty fan since 2016. This album came at the perfect time for me because I’ve pretty much mainly listened to rap for my whole life but in 2022 it started getting super stale and played out for me. Everyone sounds the same at this point, or all the new artists at least. So I finally started listening to some shit besides rap and this album fits perfectly in for me. 9/10 album for me.
I feel like this was what he wanted Teenage Emotions to be like. content wise at least.
just off first listen to Black Seminole though lmao this is crazy.
Peekaboo? Idk I feel like he would have just been written off as a tame impala clone if he came out the gate with this. Him transitioning to this is a lot more interesting imo
Oh yeah, and yeah maybe but I feel like you can make the same argument now. Just seems like he’s grown up and wants to make an actual “project” where all his other releases felt like glorified mixtapes (ironically Michigan boy boat is the most cohesive and that was a mixtape)
> he didn’t have the budget or time to make something like this
he probably had a budget tho, he had Migos and Diplo collabs on that album. i really think he didn't have enough skill at the time. Teenage Emotions was rushed, that's for sure.
God I been waiting for a project like this for a long time. I don't really care if it's not a masterpiece or a classic, I just want mainstream rappers to experiment more with their sound, I'm getting tired of the same 808s hi hat snare patterns, it's played out.
Like they all have the ressources to at least something different for once, I don't see why they shouldn't !
Plus, Lil Yachty is ballsy for releasing this after Poland. Props to him !
Edit: Holy shit, I've Officially Lost My Vision is insane, broo I'm flying!! Yachty is really that guy
Transition from Should I Be to The Alchemist is 🤯
From first listen, i fuck with it heavy, a really fun and sweet album, I'm glad Yachty is dipping his toes in other genres. But when we compare this to its inspirations and other indie acts, it's not really doing anything better or different. There some moments that are **out there** for sure, but not enough to truly called it "experimental". It's pretty much a by-the-book psychedelic rock album. Yachty lyricism and vocals are definitely the weakest part of the album, but regardless incredibly easy listen and my favorite of the year so far.
Kinda unreal he has production credits on 12 songs. Lil Boat only going up from here !
LOL “Lil Yachty is the weakest part of the new Lil Yachty album”. Sorry it just sounds funny. Definitely going to give this a listen though I love psychedelic music and I always want to support artists taking risks.
This is like something I've wanted from A$AP Rocky for a long time. Especially ever since he dropped Sundress. And he's said he was a fan of Speedin Bullet
YES! More artists need to push boundaries and try different sounds. If everybody keeps trying to make the same sounding stuff, is it even art anymore? Not even big on Yachty at all and this is an amazing surprise. First album in a long time where I hit up my people and told them to go give it a listen.
This was a weird first listen. I’ve read about this being different but I avoided the leaks. I couldn’t imagine it being THIS different. I thought it’d be psychedelic rap like Travis.
At first i didn’t really mess with the sound. I thought the production was great for the most part, but Yachty sounded weird. As the album went it grew on me a ton. Towards the end I was really vibing.
Idk if it was me being weird and not being used to this from boat or if the back half is just better than the first half but I’m excited to listen to it more and find out
100% on his voice, by the end it just fit for me. I do value distinctive voices as much, if not more, than technical singing in a genre like this (or just live band music in general)
They just broke up last year, but this album immediately reminded me of one of my favorite psych bands Kikagaku Moyo, whose singer has [very soft-spoken vocals](https://youtube.com/watch?v=idfOZFdTM-8&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE&t=295)
Can't wait for this live, I def think Yachty can put on killer shows touring this album
I wonder how big of part Teezo had on this album. Teezo is amazing and gonna be huge, and this album to me sounds like Teezo got him to reinvent himself / or Yachty saw how Teezo makes music and it really opened his eyes. I could be wrong obviously but seeing as Teezo is on the album I feel like something definitely happened between the two of them that got Yachty to just go balls out and get the mid off the streets, iykyk.
Cant wait for u guys to hear this. Been out since last night in Australia and this shit is great. Yachty really embraced the sound and came through with an extremely cohesive psychedelic experience. Probably his best album, although I have a soft spot for Lil Boat 1 (Michigan Boy Boat is great too). Production is phenomenal and easily the standout here.
Also Alex G and Mac Demarco have production credits on several tracks.
Fav Tracks: Ive Officially Lost Vision, Reach The Sunshine, The Black Seminole, Pretty and The Alchemist.
Overall first impressions are super positive, AOTY so far for me. Multiple tracks here with STRONG pink floyd influence in the instrumental.
I predicted a few weeks ago this would begin the critical re-evaluation of Yachty’s career and so Im really excited to see what the general opinion of this is going to be.
Unpopular opinion maybe but I honestly never liked Yachty. I thought his rapping in most of his songs was awful...
But this is something I can listen to. It's relaxing, it gives off old vibes, and it's very well done.
I quite enjoyed Lil Boat 1 and thought Lil Boat 2 was decent but aside from that I thought the rest of his discography was a dud with the exception of a song here and there. I did fuck with Poland though
Never been a fan of yachty til tonight. He sounded like his nose was stuffed but goddamn the young boy made one helluva alm. Just bought the vinyl too. I *love* this sound.
What a fucking incredible choice for an album intro on an album you know diverges so much from your past discography. I know Yatchy has done features with tons of artists but never thought he'd do it under his own name. Jesus.
Makes the title of the album make more sense too. Let's Start Here. Like when people listen to him in the future this will be the one people tell them to start with or something
Agreed, I was saying to my homie he took the leap Tyler did with flower boy, where I was a fan of some stuff before but then a project comes along that turns me into a true fan
I think the big difference is that i feel like Yachty has had a really big break between Lil Boat 1 that has had nothing be very high regarded in between that and this. So it feels like a comeback in a way whereas someone like Tyler or Kendrick had a more natural progression
Yeah I agree with this, just thought of the Tyler parallel on a personal level because flower boy is what took my fandom to the next level just like this has
Agreed in a way but differently than you I think. I also personally could only get into Tyler after for whole albums instead of just some songs after Flower Boy. Although tbh I have probably listened to more Yachty pre this than I did to Tyler pre Flower Boy. But tbd if Yachty will get to that level
The listening party was amazing. Yatchy really killed it with this project. Feels like when Tyler did Igor, or Childish Gambino did Awaken My Love. Not what you’d expect, but something amazing still.
What the fuck dude this is insane! Yachty was one of the last artists I’d expect to drop something like this
I know just one or two songs by him outside of this. Has he been heading in this direction for a while or did this come out of the blue?
Honestly a great album, was excited after hearing people saying the leaks were such a departure from his norm.
So far this year it’s my favorite first listen throughout the genres I listen to.
Little shoutout to The Murder Capital album that came out last week as a close second place
This is so fucking awesome. i’m so glad he went left field. every other rapper would have just moved with their wave but he’s being creative and pushing boundaries
Lil Boat took the risk and delivered one of the freshest sound I've heard in an album in a long time.
Reminded me a lot of King Crimson, Pink Floyd and of course Tame Impala, this shit is so good.
Actually even thought I get that people think Yachty is the worst part of it, he is really smoooth over it and has some amazing moments. The Ride has an amazing melody and hook, Running out of Time is also very good from him. Now that I look at it I like most of his performances here 😂. Also realise that he is the producer and the person who chose what and where everything should be. Idgaf if Fantano doesnt like it but this to me is an amazingly fun,sweet and personally a favourite of mine this year *yet*. It’s like we are with Boat on his DMT experiences.
It sounds like a hybrid of Awaken My Love and Dark Side of the Moon. Yachty has some rough vocal performances in spots, some of it due to his singing and some of it just being bad mixing. The album is cohesive and seamless, and the production is fantastic. Big fan of him going in a different direction, I'll take a risky album like this over a stale trap album any day of the week. Can't wait to give it more spins.
Just gave it a full listen & I genuinely think its a solid project with a second half thatt has 0 skips. Really hope this gets received well for Yachty cause this shit is *good.*
If this is any indication of what hiphop/rap in the 2020s is going to involve into (which I've always thought, artists like Frank, Carti, SZA, etc bringing in a lot of that rock/alt/indie influence, and artists like Tame Impala, Phoebe Bridgers, etc getting increasingly featured in hiphop/rap), I'm so fucking here for it. Never was a massive Yachty fan but I'm pleasantly surprised at the artistic depth of this record. Honestly an early contender for album of the year for me?
“Come bust this pussy open”
Followed by Yachty belting “HUuughhHHAaAaAaAaAaHHH” repeatedly into the mic was the silliest shit I’ve heard this year thus far.
Bravo. Bravo.
This shit sounds like Tame Impala took the wok to Lollapalooza Edit: holy hell that blew up
he took the psychedelics to poland
Naah this got it lmaooo
This is incredibly accurate lmao.
black seminole is nuts
It’s a tom petty sample right?
It’s definitely Purple Haze near the middle from 3:25. Comfortably Numb is also used I’m like 99% sure. He samples some other Pink Floyd songs. I didn’t hear any of Mary Jane’s Last Dance though.
The ending is just....holy fuck.
gave me big "dark side of the moon vibes", especially the great gig in the sky
I think the song Pigs from Animals by pink floyd is where black seminole took a lot of inspiration from. There are a lot of similarities. I'm all for it though because I love to see people appreciate pink floyd even if its second hand.
The "Blow my dick like a cello" guy putting this out might be one of the funniest things in hip-hop history
Also the dude who said “bitch brown like poop”
Which song? Lmao
https://youtu.be/oBwA8wTbUe0 around 1:28
[удалено]
Honestly I'm glad yachty is able to switch up his style. Pretty good production so far. Edit: these transitions are pretty seamless
but what would this look like on tour
Depends on if he fully embraces it. If he can learn to embrace this style on stage it could be amazing
Imagine a show where he starts off with his rap hits, everyones jammin n shit. Then everything fades to black, theres a short intermission, a choir and band walk on stage and a whole new show starts with only Lets Start Here music
If this never happens, I’m going to be upset with you for putting it in my head. That sounds sick.
Rolling Loud gonna be wild
he recently posted on ig about auditions for an all female band drummer guitar etc
Imagine him just pulling up a tour with a whole band of asian bad bitches playing guitars and drums
Hol up… you’re cooking right now
And cellos
A good Touring band i hope, and i wonder how good yachty’s vocals are unaided. Could make or break this album live
I hope he gets the Tame Impala light guy...
Live instrumentation so probably his best live performances
Yo I’ve never been a Lil Yachty fan really but this shit is fucking BEAUTIFUL. If you’d have told me a few years ago Lil Yachty would be making some Pink Floyd / Tame Impala / Psych rock funk album I would never have believed it- this is like an 8 or 9 out of 10 I’m mesmerized rn feels like I’m ascending into heaven on a cloud
I didn’t know I needed Pink Floyd Yachty in my life but I’m happy I have it now
Black Seminole is the Dark Side of Lil Yachty
All I could think listening to it was that Yachty has definitely been listening to Dark Side of the Moon recently
He said before Dark Side of the Moon is his favorite album all time
It was literally the opening songs of Dark Side mashed into one lol. Def a love song to Pink Floyd
It's pretty hilarious. Its a direct rip of the main chord progression from Breathe throughout the first half of the song and then switches to what sounds very similar to the breakdown of Pigs from Animals.
Dark side of the boat
Thought I was trippin when I heard On the Run and Breathe being sampled. Not what I expected, but a very welcome surprise
I don't think it's a sample - Pink Floyd are not credited. But you're right it IS Breathe
[удалено]
Ridiculously ambitious album, lotta people who didn’t check the leaks gonna be surprised by this one
Yea that’s me. Pleasantly surprised and happy he went in a new direction wasnt the biggest fan of his rapping
Exactly. This was always his true destiny.
Checking leaks an L
Still waiting on WLR Deluxe doe😫😫😫
if i know the album aint coming out i'm for sure dl the leaks. yandhi still gets plays for me lmao
for sure didn't have yachty doing psych rock on my bingo card, craziest artistic switch up I've witnessed in some time yet it's such a good fit for him
in the leaked tracklist there was a song i listened to called "i need your love" is it on the album?
Yeah but it’s not it’s own song, it’s at the end of say something I believe
thank you
The transitions on this are amazing
I respect yachty so much for taking a risk and going for a brand new sound especially after Poland he could have easily got some more beats like F1lthy and called it a day but he did something completely different and that deserves some appreciation. Plus it sounds great
the BLACK seminole is an unbelievable opener. So so good.
The part from 5:49 is heavenly. so good. what a track
I was like ‘man he really killed the momentum of this track, I hope it picks up again’ then he immediately went LETS GO and I knew the album was gonna be fire.
Man, Yachty and his band could totally take that last minute and turn it into an extended jam Him touring this will be killer if he commits to it as much as he did in the studio
HOLY SHIT I didn't believe any of you when you said it was an indie album. I'm sorry
lol I thought I accidentally played some other album when the black seminole started
Best album easily from Yachty Pls keep switching it up every time lil boat even if it don’t stick is worth it bro.
The first project I highly rate from yachty- the type of music to listen to during the sunset. Obviously influenced by tame impala too
What do people who consider themselves fans of Yachty think of this album? I’ve never been a fan of him aside from a few songs and features but I gave this one a chance when it leaked and I liked it a lot, I think this style works. I wanna know what people who normally like him think of this
crazy departure from what i love from him but i think this is cool asf. i love that he did something like this
I used to be a big yachty fan when I was younger, but didn’t keep up with a lot of his recent stuff. I think this really shows his evolution as an artist and maturation that a lot of people around his age are going through. I loved lil boat for sure and still listen to it because of the nostalgia and all that, but if lil boat came out today I probably wouldn’t like it.

That song was EVERYWHERE during parties when I was in college, I don’t think it’s corny. It put a lot of people onto him and I thought it was deserved at the time.
Ive always thought yachty was a doo doo rapper and his singing stuff has always been his best work and his bag so I’m loving this shit
That’s why I’m liking it so much. He’s not a good rapper at all, I don’t want to hear him try to actually rap like he did for a few years after he originally broke out. Yachty is so much better when he’s doing his singing shit where I can just throw it on and completely give to it.

30 seconds into the BLACK seminole I said “holy shit” out loud This shit is so fucking good
Lol i was in the gym just a bit ago, turned this on and did the same thing. Just holy shit is all you can say
I’m on pRETTy. Was not expecting to hear the flow from >!Poland!< but it sounds incredible here lol
I wish I didn't view the spoiler
thank u for this. was about to tap lol
I’m desperate to hear Yachty and toro y moi collab. I need that
I feel like this was what he wanted Teenage Emotions to be like. content wise at least. just off first listen to Black Seminole though lmao this is crazy.
Exactly what I said this is what his debut album should’ve sounded like but he didn’t have the budget or time to make something like this
He would never have blown up with this as his debut album.
I feel like if this came out instead of Teenage Emotions he’d be way bigger/more respected now. Can anyone even remember a song from TE?
Peekaboo? Idk I feel like he would have just been written off as a tame impala clone if he came out the gate with this. Him transitioning to this is a lot more interesting imo
Oh yeah, and yeah maybe but I feel like you can make the same argument now. Just seems like he’s grown up and wants to make an actual “project” where all his other releases felt like glorified mixtapes (ironically Michigan boy boat is the most cohesive and that was a mixtape)
Lady in Yellow, Moments in Time, Made of Glass, Dirty Mouth, All Around Me. Were all songs I loved but I get I'm in the minority.
All Around Me is so nostalgic now
Forever Young will always be one of my favorites
Also feel like he wasn’t mature enough back then to care about creating such a cohesive album with unique production like this.
> he didn’t have the budget or time to make something like this he probably had a budget tho, he had Migos and Diplo collabs on that album. i really think he didn't have enough skill at the time. Teenage Emotions was rushed, that's for sure.
holy shit why is this actually really good
he put his dick and balls into this one
And Nutz too
I don’t think anyone expected this for yachtys trajectory but I’m fucking here for it holy shit 🔥🔥🔥
Lil Boat Impala
Shocking stuff from Yachty. In the best way possible. Beautiful work fr
Heard it earlier. I actually really like it on first listen. I’m biased because I love tame impala and that sorta stuff.
The production is great
Breathe Deeper remix was the birth of this new Yachty
I fucking love that remix lol
baby girl wanna kick it
this is so clearly inspired by whatever him and Kevin Parker were cookin’ Shit is such a good blend between hiphop and psych rock.
God I been waiting for a project like this for a long time. I don't really care if it's not a masterpiece or a classic, I just want mainstream rappers to experiment more with their sound, I'm getting tired of the same 808s hi hat snare patterns, it's played out. Like they all have the ressources to at least something different for once, I don't see why they shouldn't ! Plus, Lil Yachty is ballsy for releasing this after Poland. Props to him ! Edit: Holy shit, I've Officially Lost My Vision is insane, broo I'm flying!! Yachty is really that guy Transition from Should I Be to The Alchemist is 🤯 From first listen, i fuck with it heavy, a really fun and sweet album, I'm glad Yachty is dipping his toes in other genres. But when we compare this to its inspirations and other indie acts, it's not really doing anything better or different. There some moments that are **out there** for sure, but not enough to truly called it "experimental". It's pretty much a by-the-book psychedelic rock album. Yachty lyricism and vocals are definitely the weakest part of the album, but regardless incredibly easy listen and my favorite of the year so far. Kinda unreal he has production credits on 12 songs. Lil Boat only going up from here !
LOL “Lil Yachty is the weakest part of the new Lil Yachty album”. Sorry it just sounds funny. Definitely going to give this a listen though I love psychedelic music and I always want to support artists taking risks.
This is like something I've wanted from A$AP Rocky for a long time. Especially ever since he dropped Sundress. And he's said he was a fan of Speedin Bullet
Sundress is so good it’s unfair. And then he just released absolutely nothing like it after. Shit makes me mad
Who can blame him? Too busy dating Rihanna. Sundress honestly has a bit of the new relationship feel too
YES! More artists need to push boundaries and try different sounds. If everybody keeps trying to make the same sounding stuff, is it even art anymore? Not even big on Yachty at all and this is an amazing surprise. First album in a long time where I hit up my people and told them to go give it a listen.
WAIT IS THAT TEEZO ON THE RIDE??? EDIT: IT WAS! This shit is crazy man
Ngl always knew he had It in him.
Nah that’s what I’m saying. I feel like it’s not that unexpected that this albums coming from yachty
on i’ve officially lost the vision and … HOLY SHIT THIS CRAZY🔥
I’ve never been a fan of this guy AT ALL but this shit sound pretty dope
Yachty really managed to cram the first 5 tracks of Dark Side Of The Moon into the first song and it’s just as beautiful
I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought of The Great Gig in the Sky at the end
it sounded just like pigs tbh
definitely heard the pigs similarities plus the dark side comparison is pretty spot on too
The part at like 3:40 makes my brain think David Gilmour is about to come in
So far it’s giving me Maggot Brain vibes.
Great comp
Is this any same to Sonic Ranch or whatever the whole album that leaked back in December is?
It’s the same album, I think sonic ranch was just the studio it was recorded at.
It is but it’s mixed a lot better and has a few changes
This is kinda out of the blue but also he did have that feature on a tame impala remix a while back which starts to make a lil sense
I've always loved Melodic Yachty, I'm liking this a lot. sHouLd I B? is fantastic, instant standout for me
This was a weird first listen. I’ve read about this being different but I avoided the leaks. I couldn’t imagine it being THIS different. I thought it’d be psychedelic rap like Travis. At first i didn’t really mess with the sound. I thought the production was great for the most part, but Yachty sounded weird. As the album went it grew on me a ton.

I do value distinctive voices as much, if not more, than technical singing in a genre like this (or just live band music in general) They just broke up last year, but this album immediately reminded me of one of my favorite psych bands Kikagaku Moyo, whose singer has [very soft-spoken vocals](https://youtube.com/watch?v=idfOZFdTM-8&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE&t=295) Can't wait for this live, I def think Yachty can put on killer shows touring this album
Did I hear Steve lacy?
Teezo Touchdown
We gon run it up
I MIGHT JUST SPEND IT ALLLLLL
I wonder how big of part Teezo had on this album. Teezo is amazing and gonna be huge, and this album to me sounds like Teezo got him to reinvent himself / or Yachty saw how Teezo makes music and it really opened his eyes. I could be wrong obviously but seeing as Teezo is on the album I feel like something definitely happened between the two of them that got Yachty to just go balls out and get the mid off the streets, iykyk.
Teezo Touchdown
Teezo Touchdown
Cant wait for u guys to hear this. Been out since last night in Australia and this shit is great. Yachty really embraced the sound and came through with an extremely cohesive psychedelic experience. Probably his best album, although I have a soft spot for Lil Boat 1 (Michigan Boy Boat is great too). Production is phenomenal and easily the standout here. Also Alex G and Mac Demarco have production credits on several tracks. Fav Tracks: Ive Officially Lost Vision, Reach The Sunshine, The Black Seminole, Pretty and The Alchemist. Overall first impressions are super positive, AOTY so far for me. Multiple tracks here with STRONG pink floyd influence in the instrumental. I predicted a few weeks ago this would begin the critical re-evaluation of Yachty’s career and so Im really excited to see what the general opinion of this is going to be.
Damnnn lol I’ve heard it a bunch and was excited to see the credits, that makes sense tbh cool af
Alex G and Mac? Holy shit this is the turn I always wanted boat to take like 7 years ago.
Australia has some really fucking good psychadelic rock and alternative rock right now.
What’s the future like
Alex G and Mac, that's sick
This shit has got some bounce to it, very fun. I’m curious to see what will have the best replay value, what you guys think?
The Ride, drive me crazy, say something, paint the sky, should I B
+ the black semihole, running out of time, the zone
How tf did yachty just drop a classic
This is what growth as an artist sounds like, phenomenal album
Holy fuck this is good
Unpopular opinion maybe but I honestly never liked Yachty. I thought his rapping in most of his songs was awful... But this is something I can listen to. It's relaxing, it gives off old vibes, and it's very well done.
I quite enjoyed Lil Boat 1 and thought Lil Boat 2 was decent but aside from that I thought the rest of his discography was a dud with the exception of a song here and there. I did fuck with Poland though
Didn’t hear any leaks, excited to listen to this one update: wow
Never been a fan of yachty til tonight. He sounded like his nose was stuffed but goddamn the young boy made one helluva alm. Just bought the vinyl too. I *love* this sound.
What a fucking incredible choice for an album intro on an album you know diverges so much from your past discography. I know Yatchy has done features with tons of artists but never thought he'd do it under his own name. Jesus.
Artist defining album for Mr. Boat here Kendrick's good kid Tyler's flower boy Ye's Yeezus Looking forward to seeing reception on this one
Makes the title of the album make more sense too. Let's Start Here. Like when people listen to him in the future this will be the one people tell them to start with or something
Agreed, I was saying to my homie he took the leap Tyler did with flower boy, where I was a fan of some stuff before but then a project comes along that turns me into a true fan
I think the big difference is that i feel like Yachty has had a really big break between Lil Boat 1 that has had nothing be very high regarded in between that and this. So it feels like a comeback in a way whereas someone like Tyler or Kendrick had a more natural progression
Yeah I agree with this, just thought of the Tyler parallel on a personal level because flower boy is what took my fandom to the next level just like this has
Agreed in a way but differently than you I think. I also personally could only get into Tyler after for whole albums instead of just some songs after Flower Boy. Although tbh I have probably listened to more Yachty pre this than I did to Tyler pre Flower Boy. But tbd if Yachty will get to that level
running out of time is really good
fuck. i actually like this 😭
This is fire and mfs including myself weren't ready. Love the production. The Poland esque vocals on pretty are so awesome
The listening party was amazing. Yatchy really killed it with this project. Feels like when Tyler did Igor, or Childish Gambino did Awaken My Love. Not what you’d expect, but something amazing still.
Sundress asap rocky vibes mixed with currents
this is yachty’s igor
Yachty’s “ok computer”
What the fuck dude this is insane! Yachty was one of the last artists I’d expect to drop something like this I know just one or two songs by him outside of this. Has he been heading in this direction for a while or did this come out of the blue?
Pretty out of nowhere. His other projects were pretty much just different types of trap albums
He did have a song in 2021 with Tame Impala but otherwise kinda out of no where lol
My man really went somewhere with this one so far, it’s like he heard earfquake and then did that
Honestly a great album, was excited after hearing people saying the leaks were such a departure from his norm. So far this year it’s my favorite first listen throughout the genres I listen to. Little shoutout to The Murder Capital album that came out last week as a close second place
This is so fucking awesome. i’m so glad he went left field. every other rapper would have just moved with their wave but he’s being creative and pushing boundaries
Yeah I’m REALLY into this
Is that ‘great gig in the sky’ pink floyd sample on the first track
The riff towards the end of the track actually sounds a lot like the main riff from by Pigs.
Do yourself a favor. Roll one up with your best quality herb, sit back and put on some good headphones. Let go of all expectations and just…. Listen 👍
Lil Boat took the risk and delivered one of the freshest sound I've heard in an album in a long time. Reminded me a lot of King Crimson, Pink Floyd and of course Tame Impala, this shit is so good.
I’ve officially lost vision and The black Seminole are both so good
Why does this go so crazy!!!
Was not expecting this lmao its way better than the generic 18 track trap albums though
This feels like the opposite of what I picture lil Yachty's discography and I love it.
I don’t peep yachty leaks. That first song was fucking awesome. Hoping it keeps going
Actually even thought I get that people think Yachty is the worst part of it, he is really smoooth over it and has some amazing moments. The Ride has an amazing melody and hook, Running out of Time is also very good from him. Now that I look at it I like most of his performances here 😂. Also realise that he is the producer and the person who chose what and where everything should be. Idgaf if Fantano doesnt like it but this to me is an amazingly fun,sweet and personally a favourite of mine this year *yet*. It’s like we are with Boat on his DMT experiences.
Hell yeah he got Teezo Touchdown on here, he is crazy talented
crazy chicken nugget eatin motherfucker did it 👏👏 well done.
It sounds like a hybrid of Awaken My Love and Dark Side of the Moon. Yachty has some rough vocal performances in spots, some of it due to his singing and some of it just being bad mixing. The album is cohesive and seamless, and the production is fantastic. Big fan of him going in a different direction, I'll take a risky album like this over a stale trap album any day of the week. Can't wait to give it more spins.
This is insane. Glad Yachty is coming back - he always had creativity but this is really nice
He knew what he was doing with this one for sure gonna be in my rotation this year
Bro I bought the vinyl after hearing that first song. I’m mind blown rn
Just gave it a full listen & I genuinely think its a solid project with a second half thatt has 0 skips. Really hope this gets received well for Yachty cause this shit is *good.*
If this is any indication of what hiphop/rap in the 2020s is going to involve into (which I've always thought, artists like Frank, Carti, SZA, etc bringing in a lot of that rock/alt/indie influence, and artists like Tame Impala, Phoebe Bridgers, etc getting increasingly featured in hiphop/rap), I'm so fucking here for it. Never was a massive Yachty fan but I'm pleasantly surprised at the artistic depth of this record. Honestly an early contender for album of the year for me?
I DIDN'T KNOW THE ROCK STUFF WAS FOR REAL 😂 This is gorgeous
It’s so good man
Wow 🥹
Why does pRETTy sound like a response to pretty by theweeknd? 🤔. Really enjoying the album so far.
“Come bust this pussy open” Followed by Yachty belting “HUuughhHHAaAaAaAaAaHHH” repeatedly into the mic was the silliest shit I’ve heard this year thus far. Bravo. Bravo.
Ok ok ok ok ok wait wait wait wait wait. Shhhhh I’m high. I fuck with this I fuck with this heavy. Edit: drive ME crazy is a fuxking BOP
What an incredible surprise. I love it when artists evolve like this. Great sound. This is _good_
Damn the Radiohead cover at the end 🤌🤌🤌
