    I was coming into this album 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 feeling very excited about Anthony Fantano giving a beautiful, long 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 of DiCaprio 2. However, this was not the case on this video as he failed to deliver what his audience expected of him.
    His tone was a bit quiet, unenthusiastic and bland. His overall passion to express his opinion was not present in most of the video. The way Mr. Melon delivers his flow is consistently boring. Where he should have put emphasis on words he did not and worst of all, he didn't give it a 10. C'mon Melon, you know you want to give it a 10.
    Overall I'm feeling a light 3 to decent 4 on this 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰. Tran-
    -sition have you given this 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 a listen? Did you love it did you hate it? What would you rate it? You're the best, you're the best. What should I review next? Hit the like if you like. Please subscribe and please don't cry. Hit the bell as well. Good Evening, Melon, forever.

    I find it weird how the weakest part of the album is the features in my opinion. Ferg had a nice hook but the only feature that was really good was J. Cole. Which is surprising to me because I’m not a huge fan of Cole. Either the features were just lacking or it shows just how good JID is, that I find the features to be the worst part
    Either way this is one of the best albums of the year for me
    What? Was I supposed to make a meme?
    Edit: I probably should’ve made this clearer. I didn’t think any of the features were bad. At worst I think they’re average.
