BRABUS & LORINSERS

Really got into THA PLAYA$ MANUAL II last year and this was a bit of a step down. Ramirez pairs some fun and cringe lyrics side-by-side sometimes, making some songs that you enjoy just slightly worse. "Gran Turismo" is the best example of this with the fun alliteration of "broke and bummy" but is immediately followed by saying a girl is going to "suck him clean". It doesn't even rhyme. I don't know why he chose to say this. Bland and corny next to fun and uplifting. Other songs tend to ride the line of good but not addicting and overall the album does flow well. Each track feels like it belongs and the overall vibe is pretty consistent. "Come Outside" is certainly the standout track here with it's addicting bassline and more memorable chorus.
