  • Y'all know I don't like giving slop videos but you know this one was almost done so I had to finish it. Westside Gunn has been for the past 5 years one of my favorite rappers and I wasn't a huge fan of his most recent album, "AND THEN U PRAY FOR ME", I thought it was good, sure but it doesn't quite hold up to his most recent stuff and in this video I examine why that is as well as go into depth and explain how the cons of this album move into his newer snippet material, and why I'm worried for his next album.
    links n stuff:
    / discord
    check my youtube banner for the rest of em
    music used:
    Music is always in my credits towards the end of my videos for anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds usually. Going forward I'm going to try and make unintrusive text on screen when a new song starts playing as well.

    WSG's stated numerous times in previous interviews that he's only using rap as a gateway to put his fam on, and to expand as an entrepreneur/investor. I think he's reached a point where he doesn't really care as much, and that's ok in his eyes because he and Ben/Con are in a good space regardless how things go in the future. I always respect him for bringing the whole crew with him, and not wanting to be the centerpiece on collabs.

      That's awesome for them. The point remains, though. Mediocre music is mediocre music. And he might not care about his legacy as a rapper, but the culture does, and furthermore, it can impact other areas of his life. As long as he's moving well though I'm sure he'll be alright.

    Homie wants to pivot; especially outside of music. But in a musical sense, he explained that there were concepts and sounds he wanted to delve into that he didn’t before. He understands what the fans want, but he has wants of his own. You can honestly sense the contradictions on the album between him meeting the fans where they are, yet also doing wtf he wants. I’m not mad at people for disliking the juxtaposition. I personally rock with it from a multifaceted standpoint.

      as is his every right. the album is great from a compilation perspective but i don't listen to westside gunn for compilations i listen for what cohesion he's capable of bringing to a whole project this one was very far from landing imo.
      it's great that he tried something new and in my review i said that there are times where his weird experimentation pays off, on kostas, chloe and house of glory. i just think it didn't work for most of the album.

    I said this before and I'll say it again. WSG was on a fire streak from 2016 to 2020. He had a string release of fire material back to back to get Griselda off the ground running and it worked; Flygod and Supreme Blientele are masterpiece classics. But after he became established enough he stopped caring and started doing what he wanted cause he could focus on his other ventures. I still love him and he's still well respected though
