The one right below you is without question a bot haha
"Always liked kid laroi but never really checked for him like that. Honestly really surprised with this drop. I was afraid he was just gonna go corporate after he went mainstream but I'm really enjoying how genuinely vulnerable he got here. I'm really happy that it sounds like he's just kinda doing what he wants because he could easily just make shitty pop and print money"
Is Laroi even rap anymore? I think he’s moved on from it and is just doing sappy pop songs. Oh well, a few songs I like here that I’ll keep but that it.
I just don’t think this album is for me. Like the songs all sound fantastic but he wants to make sure you know he got dumped and is upset and he got that point across more than enough. I kept waiting for a point where it got more upbeat or changed the subject but it never came
I saw a couple people say the same thing regarding the subject matter and I think I sort of agree. TFT was majorly a breakup album but you still had songs like SORRY which tackled other themes.
bro u gotta be a kid cause thats not how life works if he actually came from the mud he wouldnt have had made it in his teen years because he wouldve needed to hustle n get his money up to then take the music serious look at nav or young dolph for example. kid laroi had ressources in his teen years which means his parents were connected and plus he already been exposed anyway you can just look up youtube videos
No such thing as an industry plant, this is so retarded. Having connections in the industry, which yes it does give them an advantage, does not mean they are an industry plant. By that logic 2hollis is an industry plant. Billie Eilish is an industry plant.
If labels could manufacture industry plants we would have thousands of pop artists akin to taylor swift collecting billions of streams birthed every year
He started off making catchy emo rap songs then “Stay” blew up….and then he grew out of it and signed and unsigned to different labels and shit lol….now he’s making Drake inspired simp shit and it just ain’t it for me I know the breakup happened but like dude
His songs have billions of streams. I think you can shed your ego and accept that he makes songs that are catchy ear worms. They may not be the most creative, but he has talent.
I will say it’s probably his weakest project so far by my standards but I’m happy to listen to anything he puts out because it’s always good. This project is also just more laid back than what he usually puts out but it’s still vibey and I like it. Cold Play is one of the best songs he’s ever put out though
I liked him better as a rapper. I recently found North Ave Jax and he’s giving old laroi vibes. He even sounds like him in some songs. I’m hoping this album grows on me because he’s truly one of my favs.
I like the album, vibiiiing private mostly. Anyone know anything about the controversary with the photographer? In bora bora. Its Shan bawden. Soemthing leaked from their photoshoot or something is still being hidden and Idk if it involves tate too. It keeps getting deleted and deleted it from her story when the album dropped. I saw a screen shot but now its gone
A COLD PLAY is one of those songs I listened to a decent amount for like a month and now I basically can’t stand it. Which sucks because it’s on all my Spotify wrapped end of year playlists now lol
Just wrapped up listening to it over 2x just so i got everything, and WOW. I absolutely love the tone this album throws out, he had a target and absolutely smashed it. This album gon be in the rotation for the next little while 🙏🏽
Absolutely love this album, production and vocals are amazing. The vibe is consistent, and he maintains a good coherence throughout.
On my 2nd listen rn

I'm really happy that it sounds like he's just kinda doing what he wants because he could easily just make shitty pop and print money. Ever since he linked up with corbin on his debut album I knew he would be a real one so I'll always be happy to support him.
Tbf if I fumbled Tate McRae I would cry for 15 songs too
Some of these comments are written/sound like bots.
The one right below you is without question a bot haha

Yahhhh ok
Even the op comments sound like a bot
Lmao you're right. I just kind assume most comments are, I think I've come to realize how people actually communicate haha and it's not like that
I swear i’m not a bot but if i typed the way i spoke it would be a mess of a comment
Tbf that sounds like a 13 year old trying to fit in.
Is this shit hard in Perth or something?
Is Laroi even rap anymore? I think he’s moved on from it and is just doing sappy pop songs. Oh well, a few songs I like here that I’ll keep but that it.
I thought there would be more rap as well tbh
For whatever reason he said that there was going to on a recent stream but there isn’t much on here
I liked the first half but the second half of the album is a skip.. Rather Be is probably my favorite track but I thought we'd get more rap though...
legit listening to it right now and rather be is probably my fav on this whole thing lol. 1st half carried.
Lithe needs to advance his style though or he’s going to fall off hard. Every verse/song of his is the same
He literally only makes late night driving music. he’s good at what he does but he doesn’t do a lot
I just don’t think this album is for me. Like the songs all sound fantastic but he wants to make sure you know he got dumped and is upset and he got that point across more than enough. I kept waiting for a point where it got more upbeat or changed the subject but it never came
We were supposed to get a love album but it got scrapped.. we got enough break up music man
I saw a couple people say the same thing regarding the subject matter and I think I sort of agree. TFT was majorly a breakup album but you still had songs like SORRY which tackled other themes.
Why is this in here?
[deleted]
Well he was a rapper and used to rap
Same when they posted Bruno Mars on here
Slipknot sounds different here
Literally thought he was doing a slipknot cover when Spotify recommended this💀
I was looking for this comment bro 😭. I saw Before I Forget and my mind immediately went to skipknot
Does this guy make music for male Taylor Swift fans or what
Don’t insult us like this.. we have some class Taylor fans could never
I enjoyed his last album (discovered it last year with songs like Baby I'm back, where do you sleep etc.) so I'm looking forward to giving this a go
This gotta be a bot
No, why? I was late to the hype train, lol. Didn't like his old music from the Juicewlrd times at all
It was just a bad joke since bots were mentioned haha
You see a few people call out bots and wanna jump on it too? Shut up man 😂
U mad
Bot ass reply 😂
This guy started off a raw talent then started creating soulless lifeless rnb music for mainstream sheep.
he never had raw talent hes just a plant he had all the tools to make commercial music since he was like 14
Pikachu was pretty solid

bro u gotta be a kid cause thats not how life works if he actually came from the mud he wouldnt have had made it in his teen years because he wouldve needed to hustle n get his money up to then take the music serious look at nav or young dolph for example. kid laroi had ressources in his teen years which means his parents were connected and plus he already been exposed anyway you can just look up youtube videos
[deleted]
you either like 15 or a complete idi*t imagine thinking kid laroi isnt a plant
No such thing as an industry plant, this is so retarded. Having connections in the industry, which yes it does give them an advantage, does not mean they are an industry plant. By that logic 2hollis is an industry plant. Billie Eilish is an industry plant.

stay is not what blew him up bruh he had songs on lyrical lemonade before that and was hanging around juice wrld before he even had a hit
6 idiots really think I said “stay” is what blew him up unbelievable
I literally never said THAT Song blew him up…..Read bro
you literally edited your comment afterwards just to tell me to read properly lmao u weird dawg
……yea you gotta be 15 imma pray for you
quit projecting lil bro your username got 999 in it thats the most teenager shit ever
His songs have billions of streams. I think you can shed your ego and accept that he makes songs that are catchy ear worms. They may not be the most creative, but he has talent.
I assume you care more for the craft? Link your stuff
Damn he went 0/15. Last track was alright. That throwaway Speed Demon track by Justin Bieber came on after and it blows that album out of the water 💦
Maybe I'm Wrong and Back When You Were Mine are fire... so are Thank God, Rather Be, Come Down, July... it's a decent album imo
I really enjoyed THANK GOD, JULY, and I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
the production and vocals on this album have definitely improved

Huge fan of Laroi. Only a couple tracks really stuck. Feels like a lot of demo tracks that weren't really fully developed.
Ngl I love this album, gives me old LAROI vibes
I mean it's not a rap album but overall it's 9/10 for me
way better than SWAG though
I liked him better as a rapper. I recently found North Ave Jax and he’s giving old laroi vibes. He even sounds like him in some songs. I’m hoping this album grows on me because he’s truly one of my favs.
Ever since like 2022 I haven’t heard shi abt him. What the hell happened
I like the album, vibiiiing private mostly. Anyone know anything about the controversary with the photographer? In bora bora. Its Shan bawden. Soemthing leaked from their photoshoot or something is still being hidden and Idk if it involves tate too. It keeps getting deleted and deleted it from her story when the album dropped. I saw a screen shot but now its gone
Bro straight cried every track, god damn son. Soft serve ice cream fr fr. Can we leave love songs from men in 2025?
This is fire. Lot of bieber influence here
Timberlake
100%! Sounds really great
‘THE MOMENT’ gives off old school rnb vibes
Idk this guy doesn’t belong here I don’t think
A COLD PLAY is one of those songs I listened to a decent amount for like a month and now I basically can’t stand it. Which sucks because it’s on all my Spotify wrapped end of year playlists now lol
Gonna Gen Z stare to this one
Just wrapped up listening to it over 2x just so i got everything, and WOW. I absolutely love the tone this album throws out, he had a target and absolutely smashed it. This album gon be in the rotation for the next little while 🙏🏽
haha same! its been on repeat for me all day 🤘 the production goes hard
[deleted]
The singles (HDIF, SDNTK) didn’t make it onto the album and were scrapped sadly
Could not care less
Then why comment?
Cuz lil bro cared🤣
Absolutely love this album, production and vocals are amazing. The vibe is consistent, and he maintains a good coherence throughout. On my 2nd listen rn
Crazy how everyone that says they like this album gets downvoted. Like how sensitive are people lmao
1000%! not as much rap as i expected but it’s pretty chill and has some night ride vibes
Was not expecting a Lithe feature!
i had to go on genius to understand what he was saying but his verse is growing on me slowly
[deleted]
This the most bot shit
EDIT: this kid is in my DMs having some type of schizo episode rn, somebody help me
[deleted]
You mean like going to my profile, and searching for a comment to try and “get me back?”
[deleted]
Ok BLANE lol go back to the burbs
[deleted]
Blane’s got one speed and it’s a fear of a black woman being more interesting than his love for a Justin Bieber knockoff…who would have guessed?
Congrats you’ve proven you’re not a bot!
