Sam is a cool idea! And Doja feels like a logical choice for a bop.

HOLIDAY will not be on the album How do you know? Is there a tracklisting? Maybe we're getting that info on Friday. I guess I'm okay with Holiday not being on it. I do love it tho. EDIT: He did tweet the three visuals of Montero, Sun Goes Down and Industry Baby yesterday so maybe that's clue enough that Holiday is yesterday's news.

First video clip I've watched more than once on purpose in a long time. It already has 3 million + views...Hot 100 #1 debut perhaps?

Why does Lil Nas X being freely gay give someone the right to be homophobic? Wtf

I love the Industry Baby but I’m sad one of the best songs of the year (Sun Goes Down) didn’t get full single treatment :(

I'm so annoyed by the anti gay discourse that happens everytime Lil Nas X does anything. Let him live. If he did the exact same video with naked girls instead no one would give a fuck... like how they do with other rappers.

Doesn't T.I. have a hymen somewhere he should be worried about? Just shut up already.

It has been really "interesting" to watch Lilnasx's very existence make people uncomfortable and he really pulls out the homophobia. Some other random rapper was throwing slurs at him in the last day or two. Like, just don't watch the video if it upsets you?

So this apparently leaked? I'm not gonna search for a leak because I'm more than happy with the three songs we have so far, but I'm curious if anyone gave it a listen, is it full of bops? I thought his first EP was weak af outside of the two hits, and even those I didn't really like that much (which is not the case with this project so far).

This album is strong af. It's more mellow and has more pop sensibilities than I expected. Favorites are "Scoop", "Dead! Right Now", "One Of Me", "Dollar Sign Slime", "What I Want" (gives me such "Hey Ya" vibes in the best way), "Kimbo", "Empathy", "You Can Awake", "Am I Dreaming?", "Anomaly", pretty much everything. The album has no skips for me.
VERY solid debut IMO.

"Dead Right Now" is gonna be my s**t this fall. "Anomaly" is another early favorite. I'm not listening to anything else until the album is released.....and when is that?
ETA I lied. "Life After Salem" HAS TO BE a single this fall. OMG!!!!!!
ETA 2 .. I love the album! The only song I don't really care for is "Kimbo" but everything else is like A to A+ quality. I can see this being nominated for Album of the Year.

The simple truth. There was nobody but some republican who said s**t about Megan and Cardi twerking, and whatnot. But let Lil Nas X have hf naked dancers and it's WW3.

Listening to the album (I'll give it only one play until it's officially out on Spotify):
Dead! Right Now — what an opener. flows into the next track seamlessly & love his little intro monologue. Industry Baby f/ Jack Harlow — one of his most convincing bangers. and surprisingly, I like Jack on this too. bop. Life After Salem — this vibe is impeccable. the witch jumped out. What I Want — the lyrics hit me so hard. his vocals on the hook are a bit rough but tolerable. Tales of Dominica — I feel like several other artists tried making a song like this but none of them worked as well as this one. Empathy f/ Sam Smith — this is too short for how good it is!!! only 2:10?!?! this deserved to be a full 3-minute bop. I'm mad. Anomaly — another bop. Dolla Sign Slime — this feels like it could have been Track #3, or like a B Side to "Industry Baby." it's great though. Void — probably my least favorite thus far. and of course it's the longest (4:11). I enjoy the sentiment but these drums and his falsetto don't work imo. You Can Awake — I love how indie this sounds. another great track that flows straight into... MONTERO — need I say more? Scoop — very Migos but I'm pretty sure that was the intention. this is mid. wouldn't skip while listening to the album but not sure I'll revisit otherwise. One of Me — I like this. a good mid tempo from him. Lost in the Citadel — this gives me the main character syndrome. def soundtrack of my life material. Sun Goes Down — still love this. Am I Dreaming f/ Miley Cyrus — this works well as a closer but I expected... more? feels like a waste of a Miley Cyrus feature.
overall thoughts: very strong debut album from Lil Nas X, and it's got very interesting styles and production that I didn't necessarily expect to make it on here. like with Olivia Rodrigo's SOUR, the themes are limited, but considering LNX is only 22, it doesn't surprise me that these were the primary topics he chose to cover on his debut album. I very much enjoyed my first listen and look forward to the official release!

I caved and listened to some of the songs. “What I Want” & “You Can Awake” are both bangers. He def has more singles left on this LP

Wait the entire album leaked even though there isn't a release date yet? Ouch!
While I'd hate to see it compete with Billie, they really should just drop it tomorrow.
