That's exactly it, you are forcing yourself to like his new shit just cause it's Lynch. Sorry but I aint like that. When E40 went sour, I stopped listening. When Lil wayne became nothing but a mixtape pushing money making joke, I stopped listening. Does it mean I lost respect for some of my favorite artists (including Lynch)? No. I understand why they are doing what they are doing, but just cause I understand they want to go with the flow and make money with whoever the fuck will help them do it does not mean I will love their music like I used to if it sounds like garbage.
im not forcing myself to do anything, i genuinely like the sound of this new album
by 'adapting' to his new style what i mean is you have to realise his style has changed and take it for what it is
if you come into it thinking 'this is lynch music so it must have a certain style or sound of beats for me to enjoy it' then you will be disappointed
but i listen to it with an open mind and realise it wont sound the same as the lynch im used to, but it still sounds good
if this album was by another rapper, lets say crooked i for example, then maybe your opinion on it would be different because you haven't got any expectations on what it should sound like.
each to his own though, if in your opinion you dont like dinner and a movie then you might enjoy g-macc's upcoming album instead
