Beautiful album, one of my favorites!

One of the best lyrical story-tellers of our time.

This film really made me nostalgic in every which way, I wasn’t expecting this to hit me as hard. Saba has an extreme sense of artistic integrity

“All the small things about being broke I never got to notice” got me to appreciate a lot

Saba literally changing rap. I aint seen no one put out any kind of art this beautiful and personal. Saba is the future.

One of the best introspective healing albums I've ever listened to...so it's like it gets better than care for me every single time I listen...that intro is so fucking good that I cried multiple times cuz my grandma died a few years ago and when he said " its been a while since the last time we saw you"...any way i thank you saba for his masta piece

Really does get better every listen

15:26 Sankofa means to “retrieve”; literally “go back and get”; san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” or “Sankofa w’onkyir” which translates as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”

No lie I didn't know what to think the first couple singles cause I was such a fan of Care For Me and they sounded nothing like it. Then I heard a piece of the Bone record and thought it sounded great. I'm glad I waited till the album dropped to hear it. I'm not sure if Saba is in a better space than he was in during care for me but it does sound like it on this record, even with the deep subject matter. This is definitely an album we will be talking about for a while now, and I hope it brings even more fans your way cause it's incredible. Sorry for ever doubting it.

Same here. Still enjoy Care for me better since it’s so nostalgic for me but this album was fantastic.

This album is so special to me, like the songs just mean so much to me, like I FEEL THIS SH*T!

this album will be looked back on as a benchmark. you’re special man.

Amazing talent, visionary! You can see when people genuinely care about the art they put out

Saba really went all out, he made art in every form

Thank you Saba. What for? For trusting your gut and pursuing your calling. For having the confidence to release your music knowing not everyone is gonna love it. Most of all, for telling not just your story, but everyone’s story. Thank you.

This album is a work of art, thank you 🤍

This got me nostalgic about growing up on the westside in the early 90s. Thanks for bringing it back.

Already, this deserves an award! Worldwide recognition at the very most! Positivity to the fullest!

So that panned shot with the plant blooming... That was magic.

Too me man. feel good Only listen album “I’m relate. That.

Cry through at least half of this album because it’s so good. The last track in particular hits hard. Can’t wait to see you on May 5th.

Man I wept watching this. It reminded me of so much, from my family to different experiences. I felt the love, pain and struggle throughout.

Anybody notice the reference when it shows Church and Liquor store back to back at 5:40 ?

this is so powerful...Chicago is all through this film.....

This album is so much bigger than just songs man. I remember how much i cried the first time i heard the last 3 songs. Sava you’re such an inspiration

Critical response to Saba just confounds me. I keep hearing how his sound “lulls” and his style “hasn’t outgrown his influences yet” and all I hear is sonic genius that takes me so many places. Maybe it’s my personal connection to music being so intense. Maybe I just let myself rejoice in each artist individually. But Saba’s work matters so much to me. I’m a Tulsan, and we’re kinda of an unspoken cousin of Chicago (many Black Tulsans fled to Chicago after the 1921 Race Massacre). I remember visiting Chicago for the first time in like 2004 and thinking, “This is like home. I know these people. I know their facial expressions.” Maybe that’s it. I don’t know. I’m just thankful that I get to hear it, and that he gets to do his work. 🙏🏽

This was monumentally masterful! Saba thank you for pouring your soul into your art and sharing it to us all. You inspire the world

Thank you Saba for your presentations of blackness in all of its beauty. You are both an artist and the art! Keep shining and putting the West Side back on the map!!! All my love

Can't. Stop. Crying. This is beautiful. Fundamentally foundational to realistic maturity.

This album is a classic! Saba has grown so much as an artist and is one of the newer generation that is keeping hip hop intact. Can't wait to see him perform this live 🙏🏾

@@gotworc lol, get off my comment. I have the right to call the album whatever I want to call it. Compared to albums that are deemed classics this album is up there. Stop worrying about other people's opinions 😂 and do you.

The energy that this album gave me on first listen was different, and then upon a number of listens I felt what it was really propagating - contentment. Saba expressed this in the best way he could, and it's felt in every song. Now when I hear the intro and 2012 I'm moved into a different space and feel. To be and feel genuine in your messages from this album shows it takes time, and Saba does show us this very well with his raps on here. Few Good Things is for Saba, for the people, for the world. Ready to count your blessings? Cop this album. Also caught the Twi saying "Sankofa w'onkyie" in there. Wow!

Love how meaningful this album is, one of my favorite artists and just refreshing to see a work of art with this much substance especially nowadays

The Album has so much more meaning now, Thank you Saba

Album is amazing “Few Good Things” is now my favorite song by you just overtook “Photosynthesis” Thanks for the work G 💯

All of Saba's work is immaculate, been my favourite artist for a while now.

Big Salute Fr Saba… You Paint Yo Story In A Masterful Way… I’m Coming Out The Same Region Of The City… See You At The Top 🥂

When Saba said “I put my heart & my all in my art, I’m alternate” he meant that & it truly shows. This album & especially this visual makes me want to go look at old photo albums. I had a great convo with my “aunty cousins” yesterday & I feel like this made me appreciate it more & keep it going.

Grateful to have experienced this

Another great album. Your music is the best to get a day started, everyday motivation.

this was an expierence. so beautiful what you guys created. timeless; the shots, the music, the direction, the storytelling, the actors. so amazing. you should all be super proud of this work of art. thank you for making it come to life.

Instant classic album. Thank you Saba!

definitely gonna be on my list for the album of the year. will come back and listen to this a lot, i‘m 100% sure about that. great work, thank you Saba

Few good things...it's all about the simple things sometimes. I really appreciate this album and this film -- PIVOT GANG 💙💚

Very Profound take on life in Chicago...True art provokes thought and emotion...these visuals do just that....Ironically this album came out on my Grandma's funeral. Sounds morbid but it was actually comforting to listen to that day. Thank you for always having music that comforts

this is amazing...the vision behind the album and film is so beautiful. Saba was goated for me after CFM but this project might top it. To the whole Pivot gang, thank you.

Bro gon be one of the greats of the newer generation of artists when it’s all said and done. The Chi is immensely talented

you can’t even go into words about how amazing this is. true artistry. continue to grow brother, hope i get to work with you in the future

This Project is extraordinary to say the least!!! A real treasure GOLDEN!!

This album hit me hard! In the best way possible. I lost my grandparents within the last 6 years and the family was never the same… this was truly beautiful

Story-telling was amazing. The director & film told his story fantastically. Shoutout to Cont4ct!

"I've always struggled to converse if it wasn't a verse, social anxiety it got me stumbling on words" so much power packed into one small sentence

this gave me so much clarity and purity i needed

This is So Dope Bro 🔥🔥🔥💯💯👏👏

This is for soul is not just music. this is pain sweat tears

this is so beautiful bro

This video made me once again appreciate my childhood, life and family. Love the energy!

BEAUTIFUL FILM! Few Good Things is a CLASSIC!!! Definitely worth the wait.

We love a visual!!!

The greatest to ever do it.

I Love the album. I Love the short film. This is a great work of art.

This album gets better everytime I play it😍😍

I found out about Saba through the Tiny Desk concert, so, I bumped 'Care for Me' and loved it. All this while, I had thought it was Saba's debut. Then, after listening to 'Few Good Times' and loving it so much, I got curious and delved deeper - only to find 'Bucket List Project'. This man has never missed. I will say Saba has some of the best hooks in HipHop right now.

. na, my boy ate. this was such a beautiful project all around. it gives a smooth blue feel internally.

If people know the history of Chicago you would know that alot of Renown Black men come from there... black businesses schools Families Housing etc. people dont know why Chicago the way it is now...... my boi Saba tapped in 🕊 #LongLiveWalt

Yo. This was so wholesome, beautiful and raw. 🥲 I love the storytelling and the imagery. I cried when you showed the abandoned building. All of those rich memories that took place there. I felt your pain and saw the hurt in your face. You are so brave for opening up your heart and creating a body of work based off of everything you ever loved and knew, and reflecting on the loss that you experienced. That's not an easy thing. Our first reaction is to run and hide from pain but you faced it and made beautiful art from it. You told our story as well as our grandparents because all of our grandparents did come from the South for a better life. You showed the world what life was like as a child growing up in Chicago. To us, it was a beautiful place despite all of the violence. Glad you did this. Got me all in my feels this morning. Rest in peace to everyone that was lost. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Beautiful album, it has literally been on repeat since it’s dropped. Thank you!!🤍✨✨

This was so Amazing and so pit together. I felt your journey Saba. Please keep Giving us good Amazing artwork. You'll always will be legendary! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ #PivotGang
