Jun 30, 2015The Album is incredible. I can't wait to hear Vince later down the road. Good to see some fresh new talent step in the game with some heat. It's giving TPAB a run for its money.

Jun 30, 2015Staples' raw, resigned style stands on the other extreme of the metaphysics and optimism of Kendrick Lamar, but tracks such as 'Dopeman' and 'Norf Norf' show that it can be just as addictive. At age 21, the Long Beach rapper has managed to convey potent doses of reality into his music in a way that some performers fail to do in their entire careers.

Jul 2, 2015Lyrical, Vince Staples tells us more wisdom and reality then any other 21 year old rapper out there. Yet what's even better than his lyrics, are deez beats: probably the best produced rap-album this year. A great LP debut for this Long Beach rapper, expect more from this guy in the future.

Jul 9, 2015Vince Staples got a masterpiece in his hands. the album was solid from start to finish. definitely an album of the year. "Senorita" is my favorite song on the LP.
-
Jul 8, 2015Stellar production from No-ID and Staples steps up his deliver, laying down one of the most moody, thrilling, menacing and interesting debuts of the year.

Feb 12, 2016Flames is an understatement, Vince executed it so swiftly in this project................ just wow, what a beautiful work of art. Now excuse me while I go and bump this album in my car

Jul 3, 2015Incredible debut album. Didn't think he could top his mixtapes, but he sure did. Amazing lyrics and also alot of solid beats by Clams Casino and others.
Favorite song: Summertime -
Dec 25, 2015This is definitely an improvement from his last album. Vince packs nice flows and great lyricism into a wonderfully put together story line. I think the beats are great but they need a little improvement but not much. In my top 5 albums of this year for sure and maybe in my top 10 of all time.

Oct 8, 2015Incredible album. One of the best debuts in a long time. Keep doing what you want to do, and forget about what people want. He is going to be one of the best rappers right now, if not he already is in my opinion.

Jul 3, 2015AMAZING DEBUT ALBUM by the past Odd Future member. This album has the perfect amount of 'gangsta rap', psychedelic music and pure WTF'ness, but that is what makes it a great album. It's an added bonus that it is a double disc album! >

Jun 30, 2015This album was so underwhelming as a lot of the tracks seemed the same to me. The first half was definitely weaker than the second though. I think Vince is a lot more of a feature rapper and can't really carry out a totally cohesive project that won't lose me half way through. I wish there was more to this album. It's too late Charmi.

Dec 19, 2015I don't understand 'a genious' of this guy. This album sounds terrible. Staples's flow is tragic. Maybe a production in a few tracks is OK. 2/10, don't like this.

Mar 10, 2016Great album by Vince. It took a few spins to fully appreciate it, at first I was expecting it to sound like Stolen Youth. I honestly think this is his best work to date, lyrics and production are on point. Be prepared to go down a dark summer tale!
-
Nov 25, 2015Decent album a little drawn out though if he had made it only one disk then I would give it an 8. Also didn't enjoy some of the chorus's very much especially Loca.
-
Dec 8, 2015Being a Vince Staples fan I was anticipating this a lot. Unfortunately, he compromised his sound on this LP. He is trying to be someone he isn't and it's disappointing.
-
Jan 10, 2017Absolutely genius. Gets better and better with each listen. You have to go into it with an open mind. Excellent work, I'm excited to see how Vince can top this with his next full-length album.

The SourceAug 4, 2015When it's a;l said and done, Summertime '06 will be remembered as one of--if not solely--2015's best. [Jun-Jul 2015, p.87]
-
Jul 21, 2015Summertime '06 is extremely cohesive, but occasionally tiptoes on being monotonous.
-
Jul 20, 2015Splitting this weighty and rich effort into digestible chunks, the album's physical release comes on two separate discs, making Summertime '06 an artistic triumph wrapped in conceptually fitting package.
