Aug 31, 2020A quick project that has absolutely mesmerizing songs that give off a vibe of going home after the last day of school

May 26, 2021This is really vince staples at his best, his experimental flows make good songs with dark lyrics. None of the songs on this project fall below a 5/10, even the interludes with Tyga and Earl are worth listening to. 10/10

Sep 29, 2019An incredibly put together project with production that flows every track together perfectly with a great performance from Vince on every song.

Nov 8, 2018Haven't liked a Vince Staples release since Summertime '06. For me this is a real return of form where he's not trying too hard and it comes off as effortless fun hiphop.

Nov 2, 2018Not as great as Big Fish Theory or Summertime '06, but it's still pretty damn good. This is a fun little banger of an album. It reminds me of the immediacy of Pusha T's Daytona from earlier this year. I'm into it.

Nov 17, 2018This album is classic Vince Staples, rap that is hard and fun at the same time. Overall this album is mostly really enjoyable, full of bangers and good bars. However it's nothing special, it's just good old Vince.

Nov 2, 2018A very fun album to listen to with a tracklist filled with bangers. It's a very short album. Even though the album has 11 tracks it still doesn't feel like a complete album. It feels like a promo to a bigger and more complete album.

Dec 6, 2018Everything about this album is good. I love every song on it. Vince Staples is one of my favorites. Only thing, it's shorter than I thought. I still liked it.

Feb 4, 2019FM!'s fun concept begs for a longer runtime, but even at 22 minutes the project has plenty to offer with its quality beats, flows, hooks, and lyrics.
FAV TRACKS: FEELS LIKE SUMMER, OUTSIDE, DON'T GET CHIPPED, RELAY, FUN!
LEAST FAV TRACK: BRAND NEW TYGA -

The WireJan 25, 2019He has the knack of E-40, of Slick Rick, of George Clinton, for whipping up ugly shit with infantile rhyme to make it taste like candyfloss. On “Outside!”, he turns “Who want to die” into a sprightly singalong. The cheer proves to be a cover for both an experimental edge more disruptive than that of Some Rap Songs and a hefty impact when Vince does finally start to crumble. [Feb 2019, p.56]

MojoDec 17, 2018FM! initially feels slighter, not least because of a brisk 22-minute duration. The breeziness is deceptive, though, as Staples and producer Kenny Beats construct a minimalist update of G-funk where the jams are always freighted with an awareness of potential violence. [Feb 2019, p;.84]

Nov 30, 2018It’s a short record, clocking in at just over 20 minutes, but the Long Beach linguist crams in a lot of syllables and welcomes into the mix compadres including Earl Sweatshirt, Ty Dolla Sign and San Francisco legend E-40. Though he presents the material playfully, Staples has more on his mind than hot fun.
