he can remind me of young thug without sounding exactly like young thug but there's not a lot of this on live life fast much of the time here roddy seems content just to rap and when he does drop melodies they're kind of mild sadly this leads to a lot of tracks that are middle of the road or just fall flat on their face the chorus on all good for example is absolutely awful my hoe's all good i PROFANITY_TOKEN em all good my credit all good PROFANITY_TOKEN i'm always good way more awkward than you would ever want a chorus to be and on top of that the verses sound like big sean if he had absolutely no word play the effortless hook on roller coaster pretty much rolls by without much of an impression a roller coaster the differing vocal mixes on hibachi sound like a roddy and kodak black and NUMBER_TOKEN savage recorded the thing over a zoom call the boredom on this record continues until we hit a weird spot on the song no way which has a feature from jamie foxx but the jamie foxx feature is nothing more than a glorified spoken outro on the track that leads us into the next song slow it down which is actually a great slow jam with uh beautiful vocal work from ty dolla sign but this track only ends up being sort of an interlude it ends out of nowhere it's cut short despite being the best sounding track on the record so far and why we even need to go into this detour in the first place i don't know because it's not like this outro and interlude introduces a series of a slower more mellow emotional tracks the track man-made right after with its vocal lines and midi pianos just sounds like a rod wave song then murder one is a kenny beats produced drill cut with five eoforin on it it's not bad but it just kind of adds to this record's overall lack of focus as the album doesn't really feel like roddy forging a song of his own or proving that his first record wasn't just a fluke there's no direction specificity or one thing roddy is doing particularly well on this record it just kind of seems like he's hopping on a bunch of different waves and hoping one of them will take off the first track on this thing that feels like it would genuinely fit into the please excuse me track list is everything you need but even roddy's very passionate vocal performance on that track does falter in parts roddy does actually come through with some of those wild expressive inflections on late at night but at this point in the track list it's kind of too little too late this is right at the tail end of the record and this song only serves as a reminder of what this record was kind of missing all the way up until this point i'm also kind of surprised by the sudden spacey jazz fusion intro that kicks off a move to miami the drums are cool and the droning synth layers are pretty entrancing as i was listening to it i was hyped to hear what is roddy gonna do over this this is insane but then as the track really begins it just drops into a generic trap beat uh totally sets things up with this jazzy
