For reasons largely outside of French's control, MC4 was dead before its ship even sank thanks to lack of label interest, collaborations falling through, and seemingly no help given on the sample clearance side- don't tell me that "2 Times"' Teena Marie sample and "I'm Heated"'s Fat Boys flip would have been any harder to clear than, say, the Nina Simone samples Kanye's had on his last two albums had label folks been motivated to do so. This rollout makes The Life Of Pablo's look dignified and strategic, makes Late Nights: The Album's years of delays seem like no biggie.

When French finally dropped it as a free release ten days ago, it felt like mercy-killing a one-promising racehorse that never lived up to its potential, and donating its organs to science. Just before its planned August release though, MC4 leaked, killing a good deal of its buzz, and then to make matters worse, its official release way delayed again due to sample clearance issues. The Kodak Black-assisted "Lockjaw" was taking the fuck off, and French released the excellent Wave Gods tape, a project better than most artists' albums that suggested he had much more up his sleeve when album time came knocking. French tapped DJ Mustard for initial lead single "Don't Panic" at the height of his 2014 hot streak, announced that he and Kanye West were working on five songs together, and at one point, and linked up with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross for the flop of a single that was " Gucci Mane." All of that soon fell by the wayside, but then in early 2016, MC4 got another glimmer of hope.
Initially planned as a mixtape, then as a proper follow-up to his disheartening debut album Excuse My French, the project eventually plopped into our laps after years of delays as.

French Montana's long-awaited "MC4" is a botched release that could have been a decent-to-great album if handled better.Īs of last week, it's been three years since French Montana first announced Mac & Cheese 4.
