Can you tell I’m excited for Before I Self-Destruct? No lie. Anyway, I’ll be on al-Jazeera English at 1 p.m., talking Afghanistan.

Spencer, on the real, from most of my people who have heard the leak, it is a massive disappointment.
Oh, I’m sure it’s terrible. That Bollywood-style video was bad. “Baby By Me” was bad. Both the “War Angel” and “Forever King” mixtapes were bad. There’s a pattern here. But you’re talking to someone who watched the ‘Behind The Music’ special on 50. It’s hard to get off the train now, if I’m being honest.
True, but consider this:
This was suppose to be the album were at least some quality “spitting” was suppose to comeback to him (or, at least, “How To Rob” type aggression”) “Before I Was” was planned way before “Curtis” was even thought of, and “Curtis” only got his attention with how “I Get Money” was spinning on the radio, and how he could just put bullshit singles on that album is still probably get sales (which it sot of did despite losing that album battle with Kanye on Graduation two years ago).
As a non Curis supporter, I thought at least he was going to give an album worth 80% quality. But goodness, that’s how far he has fallen off in terms of just providing quality. Vitamin water contracts and outdated battles will do that to you if you’re him.
