Off a a skim I ain’t really feelin the rappers. Reminds me of an updated early 2000s weathermen / def jux / athletic mic league underground nerd tight jansport rap shyt. Hopefully Al puts out an instrumental version of this. Low key I think Mach would sound dope on most of these beats

Roaches Don’t Fly joint has a sample start right around 0:50 that was the main sample of a beat Al had made over a decade ago that had appeared on a video with DJ Salam Wreck, B Real, Evidence, and Al in the studio with Al playing a handful of beats (still on YouTube, but now made private). The original beat hasn’t come out, but man, the beat on that original flip was schizophrenic.. Al has a war chest of killers in his catalogue that remain unreleased. I hope I live to see the day that all those beats drop..

I was tripping last night...this shyt goes all the way through 
Spray the perm
Armand Hammer = Hagler and Hearnes
Shorted em like bad sterns
It's not an aberration, this how it works
Chuckle at the investigation, them nikkas is nerds
Cooked the books with the bookworms (oh word???)
Iridescent blackness
Is this performative or praxis?
Are we talking about practice??
(We talking bout practice, man
)
Rocked the kufi backwards
Magic negro, Wesley Snipes taxes
Dark inside the eyes, basically 2 ratchets
African accents
American names like David Patrick
The game is the game just gotta change tactics

My whole thing with these dudes is I don't expect tight flows from them, its not what I'm here for. These dudes drop these lyrical nuggets and can create a vibe where you have no idea what they'll say next, which makes their style interesting IMO. Definitely get that it's not for everyone, and I'm far from an expert on this movement either. Someone else might explain the appeal better, but this type of hip-hop has grown on me as I get older for certain moods and settings

Been reading about Billy and Elucid this morning and a lot of heads really love these guys man. They aren't really my lane, but it seems like for the type of hip-hop they make, they have a lot of respect and admiration from fans and other rappers and producers.
Just curious, do you like Earl or DOOM at all? Or not really?

No doubt. I get that too. I even get some Aesop Rock vibes here or there.
Mach would definitely kill a lot of these beats.
They aren't really for me, but I'm trying to be open minded to a style I'm not that familiar with. I think this is a good album to introduce me, because the beats are more experimental but not way too weird either. There are certain songs I can't get into at all. That singing on Stonefruit is a big turn off. I was surprised to read they consider it the best song on the album. And Peppertree is also too weird for me.
There's some joints I really like though.
