'the people we became (reimagined)' Review

I love this album. In my opinion, it is better than the original. I just wish it was longer and had a CD.

“Rennesauce” - Definitely made me realize how different this would be from the original album, and I loved it. I really liked the vibe 350 was going for, and I also like that dyl. re-recorded some lines to work better with the beat.

“We Just Wanna Be Loved” - I liked this much better than the original song, “odin.” For perspective, “odin” was one of my favorites on the original TPWB.

“Buzzin” - Easily my favorite song on the album. 350 killed the beat for this one. This is a HIT. I like the jazzy feel.

“The Day I Arrived” - This one was pretty good, but not my favorite. I liked the original heavy instrumental and vocal effects on the hook, and now they are gone lol.

“Tell Me Why” - I liked this one. I really love that sample and the drums are amazing. I also am pretty sure dyl. sounded more emotional, but I might be going crazy lol.

“Get Yo Business Straight!” - I loved “art of war” to begin with, so it makes sense that I would love this. I really love this song—it feels sort of cinematic, if that makes sense.

“BNA to ATL” - I liked this one much more than I thought I would. One of my favorites on the album.

“Since I Been Gone” - This one is probably my least favorite on the album, but still crazy. There is definitely a time and place for this one, because I get kind of sad listening to it.

“Leave it to God (in an elevator)” - This is much different than the OG and I was kinda confused lol. It's weird how well it works with dyl.'s voice over this beat.

Overall, I loved this album. It kind of makes me wonder if 350 knows how to play drums or if he just got samples, because the drums were fire on some songs. My only complaint is that it should be longer (and it should have a CD).
