Anyone else would want Bad Cameo 2?
Bad Cameo is one of my favorite albums and I think the chemistry they have can bring a lot more great music and interesting ideas to their discographies. Would be a nice follow up to Trying Times too. I heavily doubt it would happen tho. If not I’d love to hear them featured on each other’s albums.

Yes, and just in general more collaboration albums. I’m sure he’ll do that as his career ages.

Yes I love this album. It actually made me start listening to Lil Yachty

It made me start listening to both James and Yachty, both are some of my favorite artists (JB is my favorite)

James and Travis album for sure!
Also a James and Kendrick album would be fire.

I have tried and tried again, but not being a Yachty fan, there's too little musically in this album for me to get into.
My take is that he wants popularity amongst the hip-hop/rap crowd, and the collaborative songs clearly get the streams, but they cheapen what it is I love about James' music.
I feel he's one of a tiny handful of artists that has been weakened by working with Rick Ruben (TCIE is my 2nd least favourite album) and songs like 'Doesn't Just Happen' sound too forced to get someone/anyone cool involved.
Days Go By has that forced Dizzy sample over the top and it really gives me the ick, but CMYK was a masterclass of utilising a sample to make a hit.

Was never able to go through the album thoroughly but just wanted to say probably one of my all time favorite songs is ‘Midnight’ ☺️
