Brockhampton - THE FAMILY
After BROCKHAMPTON’s Eight Albums And Kevin’s Two Solo Albums Across Seven Years Kevin Has Nothing More To Say. He’s Made It Clear That THE FAMILY Exists Mainly To Fulfill Their $15 Million Dollar Record Deal With RCA Records. Because Of That THE FAMILY Is A Relatively Brief Album With Many Short To-The-Point Tracks. Note How The Verse Begins With Kevin Seeming To Delve Into What Sounds Like A Poignant Topic About His American Experience–a Signature Subject Matter Of His Most Notably Dissected In His Aptly Named 2016 Solo Album American Boyfriend–before He Abruptly Gives Up And Just Repeats “I Got Nothing To Say.” He Feels As If He’s Exhausted Everything He Can Possibly Talk About. In A Way This Is A Microcosm Of The Capitalistic “American Life.” Kevin Feeling “dead Tired” And Perhaps Lacking Inspiration Is Still Obligated To Release An Album For His Label To Make Money. In Fact This Was Likely The Case For All Of BROCKHAMPTON Following Their Record Deal Signing In March 2018. In A Letter Posted To His Instagram Kevin Noted How “over The Past Few Years Members Of The Band Began To Move Their Separate Ways.” The Group Likely Lacked The Passion They Once Had But Had To Keep Putting Albums Out Of Contractual Obligation. - Via Spillretro On Genius Annotations

After BROCKHAMPTON’s eight albums and Kevin’s two solo albums across seven years, Kevin has nothing more to say. He’s made it clear that THE FAMILY exists mainly to fulfill their $15 million dollar record deal with RCA Records.
Because of that, THE FAMILY is a relatively brief album with many short, to-the-point tracks. Note how the verse begins with Kevin seeming to delve into what sounds like a poignant topic about his American experience–a signature subject matter of his, most notably dissected in his aptly named 2016 solo album American Boyfriend–before he abruptly gives up and just repeats “I got nothing to say.” He feels as if he’s exhausted everything he can possibly talk about.
In a way, this is a microcosm of the capitalistic “American life.” Kevin, feeling “dead tired” and perhaps lacking inspiration, is still obligated to release an album for his label to make money. In fact, this was likely the case for all of BROCKHAMPTON following their record deal signing in March 2018. In a letter posted to his Instagram, Kevin noted how “over the past few years, members of the band began to move their separate ways.” The group likely lacked the passion they once had but had to keep putting albums out of contractual obligation.
