    Apart from a few songs this feels like the most uninspiring major thug project in a long time. I felt same way about SMF then started loving it. Hope that happens here.

    This is 100% better than So Much Fun imo

    Gotta say I was so hyped to hear Dropping Jewels cdq but the Tiny Desk version >>>

    Thugs best project since BTG

    Far better than SMF.

    @SKUX GOD i think this will be an album that gets better the more you listen

    Everybody seems to forget that Beautiful Thugger Girls didn’t instantly receive praise from the fans, but as time went on, a lot of people consider it a top-tier Thug album (and it’s my personal favourite.)

    I’ve only been able to listen to PUNK once so far, and my immediate takeaway is:

    - album needed some more polish, esp. with the mixing (where in the world is Alex Tumay??)

    - couple of out of place songs that are there solely for the streams (Drake, Juice)

    - sequencing could have been a h--- of a lot better. I know at the end of the day an album is just a collection of songs, but the flow of the album is pretty weird. Hate The Game should’ve been track 1

    - Contagious is a 10/10

    Also a masterpiece, just would choose BTG over it most days. Top 2 Thug projects for me, for sure

    As of right now BTG is better than Punk. But that could change if the deluxe songs include Police and the orginal version of Hate The Game

    Im so pissed they edited out the best parts of Hate The Game for the album...the GIVENCHY version is f---ing EPIC.

    Listened about 10 times now. Not a bad album, but not great. I wanted another master piece, Thug is due for one but this is not it. Just feels like BTG lite. Features are mostly a snore fest. Thug just doesn't feel as essentric as usual.

    7/10 overall imo

    Litterely every song on the Tiny Desk concert sounded better than on the album. Should of just re recorded the whole project with the band and this would of been a fukn classic

    We know you the new Narsh Thug Nut-Hugger. We get that, but you still have a lot of objectively false opinions. Continue to live in a fantasy world where everything you believe is indisputable fact (Thank God we know better though. *Wipes Sweat Off Forehead*). Haven't listened to this album yet, but I also haven't let go of some of the begrudged hostility I've withheld against pube-swallowing cucks such as yourself on here. Maybe that will change though. I highly doubt it. Gonna listen to this sh-- in a few minutes. Happy 20th Anniversary to "Devil May Cry" though. Might start 5 today in commemoratively tributary fashion. Time to get to the music-blasting. *Clears Throat*
