He had some sharp and live sounding drums on Lulu last year too. Different than most of his drumsAlc got a band tucked away or something because some of these kicks and snares on here sound super clean

I hated on that phase at the time but in hindsight it was dopeIntro beat reminds me of Alch's Russian sample phase

You made me look up Lulu to see if I could find something out about those drums, and apparently today is the anniversary.
guess I’ll bump that later today.

Cats been hyping up Billy and Elucid for years breh. They got a massive fan base. I’m sure Alc will introduce them to a new fan base, but lots of Armand Hammer heads have been out here forever. There’s also some Armand Hammer heads that don’t even like the production on this.

Yep.
I definitely miss more conventional Earl. He’s still craxy talented, but I don’t love the xanax bar flow he’s been doing recently. I wish he’d go back to the old energy.

People say this and I've yet to hear or see the basis of it. He objectively spits terrible verses. He seems to have created a lane for himself by being a fan of dope artists and casting some of his odd future fame their way. Does he even do xanax? He seems like a big lipped, suburban poser doofus who grew out of Eminem and found KA and is OD'ing on standom.
verse on Quelle x Chris Keys = Trash
verse on Mach's Hard Lemonade = Trash
Feet of Clay = Trash
The Alc Craft Single = Trash
Some Rap Songs = Trash
I Don't Like shyt... = Trash
'East' may be the only song funnier than 'Jarreau of Rap' from last year though.

I mean you're clearly not gonna like anything I post from him and that's cool. But I think he's been consistent and I've never seen him a poser. He was always a huge DOOM fan and did the monotone flow thing combined non-sequitur bars. I think Xanax or being really stoned is a better explanation than him having "big lips"
. What does big lips have to do with anything? I don't know if he does Xanax or not. I'm guessing he doesn't, but he's dealt with a lot of hardships in recent years, so who knows. The point is that he slurs his words a lot more now than he used to. @Zero might have better examples than me. He always sounded monotone but he didn't always slush his speech together.
There's no denying his style has changed in recent years. That's the main thing we're saying. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he's not talented.

Big lips was just an observation of his tragic appearance. His dreads are embarrassing as well. The kid flat out sucks. Ruins everything he touches.
This was disappointing. I expected more with Alchemist attached to it.

I listened to this just to hear ALC get experimental and I don't think he disappointed. I don't think they're trash just not my type of emcee. But I grew up with people like them so I know there is a lane for it.
