Sean explaining the album on Fallon:

The concept of the album is ‘this is me & this is an older version of me (referring to the two men standing on the cover). It’s parallel right there with each other, but the name of the album is ‘I Decided.’ I realized my whole life changed when I decided.” He said. “I feel like life is ‘bout making right decisions at any point, or the wrong decisions.” “So the album is basically like having that wisdom of an old man while you’re young and going through life & figuring it out.

Expecting the big songs to be “No Favors” and “Sacrifices” so let’s get started on those.

@transcribers @genius-editorial-board – let’s get it!

@genius-editorial-board – how we doing? what needs work?

The album is dope af so far

Running through I Decided. How are we doing with this? Anyone need help with anything? What still needs work? Any glaring issues? Here are the tracks that need the most love:

“Light” — lots of red. Needs a solid song bio. A couple of the existing tates could use a quick edit. top scholars: @dadgpow @mattt7 @Stealth724 @SyeTheRapper @PhumzileS @AnaBannanna @4youreyezonly @Flinjos91 @I_like_rap_a_lot

“No Favors” — Locked the page because there was a continual stream of bad tates coming from 100-300 IQ contribs. Lots of controversy surrounding the “Philando/Orland” line, but we decided on “Philando”—let’s keep it that way unless we get official word otherwise. Em’s verse still needs some editing; a few janky or bulky tates here and there. top scholars: @Drew_Harvie @RobertI @b33_t33_g33 @F4R4Z @AdamWarlock @AintNoJigga @AmirRoyale @Bobby43Williams

“Jump Out the Window” — loads of unreviewed tates!! Unaccepted song bio. Any other glaring issues here? top scholars: @YoungTrashcan @hasooni305 @E4gle @depressedenim @SalmanRasheed @a7xweeman @CheckMyStyle @JuleanBurger @EPSYLON2K

“Same Time Pt. 1” — handful of red ripe for the removing. Some room for improvement on the accepted tates here, could use an edit. How can we improve them? top scholars: @mermaidwater @dadgpow @ChanLeigh @simonta @depressedenim @joannamccray @OstrichSeatsWithTheFrogEyes @Sam162 @EPSYLON2K @luisvela1000

“Voices In My Head/Stick To the Plan” — red, red, red, so much red. Song bio needs a rework. top scholars: @evsevincgil @E4gle @DanTar99 @Terzis @W4CKO_G3NIUS @jalinc @joannamccray @psycho4x @Common_Royale

“Inspire Me” — handful of red ripe for the taking. top scholars: @ChanLeigh @4youreyezonly @Reedpanda @dadgpow @Steve_j17 @Terzis @Chaustin98 @vanished_quote

“Sacrifices” — great deal of unrevieweds here, let’s stay vigilant. top scholars: @GeniusPlayboyX @IsolatedInstinct @dadgpow @E4gle @gcozart @MostDopeKid @roundthecityroundtheclock
