Vic Mensa - The Autobiography (7/28/17) Album • Page 6

i think the biggest problem with vic mensas “i like rap AND rock music” thing is that he likes the most generic rock music lol

 

oh no... oh, you guys... we can't encourage this, that is really bad

 

yeah idk what kind of self respecting person thinks a zombie cover is still cool in 2019 lol

 

I've said it before, but his biggest problem in general is just that he can't settle on a style. There's a fine line between switching it up each release and not having your own voice, and I think he veers too much into the latter. He's capable of some great things but he never builds on his own momentum.

And it's fine to pursue a passion project and everything, but not before you have truly established your own career. I don't know he is just an odd case, but I will continue to hope for the best for him.

 

I like his unpredictability, but I do agree that it's still way too early in his career to change it up so much. I've been saying for like a couple years now that I still don't think he has truly found the kind of artist he wants to be yet, and while he's seemingly good at most of the styles he tries, he's casting too wide of a net right now if that makes sense. I don't think he realizes he's still in the phase of his career where he needs to be building a fanbase

 

for some reason i don’t think he’s gonna find much of a fan base by combing dad rock + emo trap lol

 

FYI he has released two original songs with his band so far, a lot of 3 Years Sober actually reminds me of FIDLAR

 

I really like both of the 93PUNX tracks. They’re fun.

 

One of the dudes from FIDLAR actually has a co-writing credit on 3 Years Sober I'm pretty sure

I like both of these songs a lot too, really interested in how the full album will be. I'm catching a show in August that he's coheadlining with Jesse Rutherford which should be a lot of fun

 

oooooh really"??

 

Has an album been announced? I’ve just caught the singles on Spotify, but haven’t actually read anything about it.

 

Yup, just looked it up, it's Zac

I assume there's one, he's been talking about making a punk album for a while and he's going on tour with the full band in September

 

93punx, Travis Barker and Good Charlotte, out at midnight

 

oh shit, an entire 93PUNX album is out tomorrow

 

Album is out... I gave it a quick listen and I actually like it but I imagine a LOT of people will hate it

 

This works... surprisingly well. I didn't expect much going in but I'm kind of into it. I thought it would be a one and done for me but I'll probably actually put this on a good amount. I've always complained that he switches his sound too much and doesn't seem to be able to settle on something, but I guess if you're gonna keep doing that then you know at least switch it up big.

 

93PUNX album kicks so much fucking ass

 

Some of this is pretty silly and I could do without, but the rest is done surprisingly well.

 

damn, this album is pretty fuckin fun

 

He has a legitimately really good voice for this kind of music. Judging from some videos I've seen he seems like a good "punk" frontman too. He cancelled the tour though unfortunately

 

Removed, what was it?

 

Announcement of a 93punx show at ICE headquarters haha
