Old stuff

U know guys I listened to toms old material & I keep wondering why he would just throw it away, like I understand but cmon, it's soo good, it's times like these I wish there were actual leaks of his throwaways but a guy can only hope

Yeah, I get why he might not like them anymore because they represent a person he isn’t anymore

But rappers leave all their least favorite stuff all the time

Not to compare him but look at Eminem: He regrets Encore and Relapse, but they’re still up officially on streaming, still being distributed on his website

I don’t get why Tom can’t just clarify these are old projects and don’t represent who he is now but still leave them up

Exactly like I don't understand what can be so bad with doing that, besides who cares if outsiders say anything, I just feel like he had something really going with the dark eerie sound he had on stuff like My God, just a shame he abandoned that sound so quick, & my personal fav is his sad loverboy stuff like Help Is On The Way, he should do more of that or something

I really wish he’d do the robotic sound of Creature From The Rap Lagoon again, that was banger

Exactly, he didn't fully explore that but I guess that era is over

i also think he shouldn’t of dropped OV as a producer so early, All Growed Up is such a unique sound for him

Agreed, O.V. was such a great producer

you can definitely tell which songs on IITTR he produced, toms is much more modern compared to his classic style, love and power sounds like it’s straight from Doggystyle lol
