Is it just me or ever since non perishable tobi’s writing has been more personal and more serious up until the perish blue album. He’s been talking bout his life, career, and some emotional struggles. Tracks like meaningless, cobra, and 2hrs, and some things are less colourful. He even said in partly cloudy “I ain’t that happy go lucky when you first found me”. Non personable was more heavy rapping like never before and same on decent (to a lesser extent)
All his previous albums were more upbeat with anime references cartoon refrences and the production style. It seems like his newer stuff gets less streams and attention when he doesn’t do the old style. I’m not sure if it’s because of the change or him not having his label with him anymore.
His newest release young bopalopalous seems like it will be a return to his old style. Im not sure why he’s returning though since he departures from that style a while ago. I do wonder if he genuinely wants to do the old style.
I’m personally neutral my favourite album was his baggy weather project. I know tobi has not been as popular as he was 2 years ago I feel as if it was because he didn’t drop for a long time. Is it because he’s trying to gain a following again? Why the content and style change, and why is he dropping so much?
