The city can be a very difficult place to navigate, especially a sprawling larger city in Southern California. It’s big, streets twist and turn, intersect at strange angles, turn into others, or lead nowhere interesting to grey forgotten areas; neighborhoods transition quickly from glamorous glitz to seedy grunge, and the people themselves can change drastically in a short distance.
Just like the city, Summertime ’06 sprawls out, it’s a long double album: 20 songs. The songs themselves range from bangers to slower meditative songs and cover everything from Vince’s neighborhood to institutionalized racism to inner city violence to falling deeply and quickly in love, and it all feels natural. However, this sprawl means there is some repetition and filler.
Señorita was the first single from the album; but really serves no real purpose on the album. The song sounds unfinished and weak in comparison to the other songs, like it was the foundation for the album that was improved upon as the album built up and took on more interesting character. Señorita describes inner city violence with a rapid fire delivery from Vince, but other songs on the album do what it does better. The song also contains an annoying sample of Future as the chorus, a monotonous piano line, and is just one of those songs that’s seems to go on and on. It’s a song that makes up the sprawl of the album and served its purpose as a single, but nothing that needs to be revisited.
There's some points that I don't really agree on with his subjective intake on the song (I kinda miss his inputs) but I could see a thing or two of where he was going with. It's fine to me on the album and doesn't really sound like a throwaway but hey. Bloomers, if you're reading this then hi~

At 18 is NWA, which figures a collab from Mr. Kurupt, and is one of the more hip hop oriented songs from the album. It used to be one of my favorites. Ice Cube's intro is dope too. Good spot for it.
The two Bjork and two Sufjan Stevens tracks left anything other than a Fourth of July win would be a huge injustice, but really happy to see that it's at least made it this far.
