i wont be buying the signature LP

Postby ,-,'-{Bar}-',-, » Oct 4th, '08, 20:54

and that really sucks coz this is my demo was awesome, and sway deserves fans to stick by him for his work effort and mixtape grind, but the album just isnt worth the £15.

fit for a king was a dope track and excellent album starter is was so hyped after listening to it but no other track is that vicous on the album, the next 4 tracks are really commercial and suck, apart from F ur X thats a decent track coz the beat and flow, and Silver and gold that is supringly nice, say it twice & satarday night hustle suck. Next track is Jason Waste, thats a character who just wastes his life, its pretty funny and defiantly a good track but i dont think sway stressed the point of a waster he shoulda made the guy more controversial and really stepped on toes in this track and he doesnt. then we have look after my girl, complete RnB hit decent enough track but its just useless.

then the album picks up, pray for kaya was great really heartfelt about his freind who died earlier this year and its just a really deep track and sway does great on it, walk away was decent but again just "meh" , upload....was download from this is demo re-created, he already did this track, do why did he do it again ? :unsure: its not that good a track anywae. stereo is the strongest track since fit for a king, chorus lacks thought but his verses are awesome its sounding more like thge sway we know great track, letters to the heaven has the best beat so far a really deep felt track and its a excellent song. end of the road is another decent enough track but not mind blowing. special place sucks..really bad.

the bonus tracks, taxi and my kind of girl, are shit..utter shit.


anywae, the album is a real disapointment, from this is my demo to this is terrible, far to many weak beats and some very useless songs that are just sounding like songs he already did, not enough creativity....sorry but this is a flop :n:

After listening to it I must say that I'm kinds dissappointed... But there are some great songs on this album, and some songs do grow on you if you listen to them more then once..
But I guess we could have known the album would be like this, I mean Sway said it him self, he is aiming for more money and more fans.. ( Ifremember correct..)
So he did build up his album to please both categories, he has some songs for his fans, and some songs that look like club bangers/ rnb/ pop like for the people who don't know him yet... He wants to expand his fanbase..
The first track on the album isn't bad at all, it starts with ''fit 4 a king'', which is a great track.
I really got my hopes back up when I listened to that first track..'Cause it had a nice quick flow,sick lyrics and a nice beat...But then it go's downwards...
until the album reaches the more deeper tracks,, Which are sick ....
Like ''praya for kaya'' and ''end of my road''.... Those were not bad, but then again they could have been better.. ''Stereo'' was not bad, kinda liked it.
The bonus tracks were, well how should I put this....''oke''...

Overall the album was not what I accpected it to be, but I did enjoy it though... I mean it was not that great, but it wasn't bad either... I guess Sway did what he wanted to do and found a middle way to please both type off lisnters.. But he could have put more complexity and faster flowing for his fans though... 'Cause it seems like he put more effort in trying to reach the ''rnb/ pop'' like hiphop listners ,then trying to reach out for his fans and true hiphop listners...

But I'm still gonna buy this lp, Sway deserves support even though he made a flop of a album...
I still enjoyed listning to it, so I will get a copy...but he should have put more creativity in it and he should have worked more with the concept of jonny waste, so much potential in that concept....

Album sucked, had some nice tracks... I would give it a 6/10... Only 'cause I know Sway could do way better....

pretty much agree with everything ya said man, id also give it around a 6/10 for the overall album.

as for buying it, i had both of the games albums and for me "LAX" sucked so i didnt buy it. i have all of jin's albums except for "the rest is history" coz it sucked.

i cant bring myself to support an artist when i feel let down by there standard of music.


hopefully his third album is dope, i know he is doin 5 albums, he always sayed that from the start so he has 3 more to go. hopefully there classics like this is my demo.

Agree with everything Bar and mcZu said, would also give it a 6/10 :(
After listening to the mixtape that leaked like a week ago I knew it would be like this, which sucks. Songs I really liked:
Fit 4 a King, Silver & Gold, Stereo, Letters to the Heaven.

Otherwise the songs were average/sucked.

This sucks :(

Fair enough, I know what you mean, if a artist makes an album under his normal standard then I usually don't buy it...

You summed up all the great tracks...four our of sixteen....Damn that sucks....
Only 4/16 is enjoyable out of this Lp..the rest is average or sucks....

I'm getting second toughts about buying it...
