2 out of 17?...i would say there are 4 "true" budden tracks on that piece of shit album (castles, all in my head, skeletons, my time)

the rest is complete nonsense made strictly to attempt to appeal to the mainstream attention he has received from whoring himself out on "love & hip hop" (honestly...i cant think of a better definition of selling out)

if you seem familiar w/budden so i wont go into it, but 2 quick points: 1)pump it up was a LONG time ago, budden's real fanbase was established afterwords through the mood muzik series and all of his deep/introspective/emotional music...THAT is what he represented. 2)budden also has a long history of claiming to be "real" and "fighting the machine"...he represented true art and not jumping through hoops for the corporate bullshit...it wasnt till very recent that he started dressing like he was tryna win GQ best dressed awards and proudly boasting about how when slaughterhouse blows up "hes gonna be the first one to sell out"

he is the opposite of everything he prides himself on being...dude has zero integrity and doesnt give a fuck about no "internet soldiers"...which is fine, thats his right, its his life/career, but there will ofcourse be a scorned core fanbase when you turn your back on everything you represented.

but back to NLL real quick...you really enjoyed that album?i didnt have high expectations going into it, and was blown away by how fuckin horrible it really was..."all in my head" is about the only track on there i really enjoyed and that shit was on "a loose quarter" i dunno how you could say theres only 2 "radio like" songs...top of the world?she dont put it down?n.b.a.?you and i?last day?switch positions?tell him something?...thats all horrible shit made for the radio/teenage females watching him jump through hoops on reality shows
