After releasing ‘The Diary of Polarizing Figure’ on August 14, the backlash has been anything but subtle. McAfee faced divided reactions from listeners. The 14-track album blends country and rap influences. Rather than treating the comment as a reason to defend his music, McAfee embraced the very reaction his album title predicted.
“I think if you listen to the songs I wrote every word for.. I believe you’ll either like them or think I should be murdered for even the thought of making them. The album is available now for you to decide which reaction you are if you’d like. Pretty polarizing response, “surprisingly,” wrote, responding to a fan’s reaction to the album on his Instagram story.
The 14-song album is 42 minutes long and has songs with distinctive names. The album does not have any features, which is why it shows how personal this one is for McAfee.
