Benny is way more enjoyable to listen to
Only if u a dikkrider. I’m listening to this whole album and can’t for the life of me understand how someone can enjoy this and not the Conway shyt as well. I actually kinda like the versatility in Conway’s shyt a lil more. Plus his bars was better on his album. This is a crazy project tho.

And THIS is what I be sayin. I think Conway is the overall better lyricist while Benny is up there lyrically but on the flip he has the better delivery so it balances out.
I don’t think Benny delivery better per se they just different. Benny be emphasizing the fukk out his words lol.

Artistry and delivery matters. It’s held many superior rappers behind. The entertainment aspect has to matter. Benny got this on lock.
Look fam. Benny is dope. Half of Conway’s face is fukkin paralyzed. I say Benny’s delivery is better but that doesn’t mean Conway’s is bad. Conway has better delivery than alotta nikkas that got they whole face. U couldn’t have listened to Conway’s last shyt if u sayin this shyt.

Nah, Tana Talk 3 is still his best shyt.
That’s a fact not even debatable imo. I gotta listen more tho.

Tana Talk 3 is his best shyt but I think it’s largely due to A: the combination of the rhymes and the production and B: it being his debut album. He didn’t need multiple chances to hit it out of the park on his first big release.

That being said I don’t think anyone would deny that his flows and cadences have improved more than a little bit since Tana 3, most of which was recorded 3-4 years ago. He has a lot more versatile deliveries on Plugs, and even more so on here.

Yea but I think his rhymes are better on both Plugs and Tana Talk.

This literally graded out the exact same to Conway's shyt - Both spectacular - If I had to choose - I'd take Conway, but I'm not standing on the ledge on that.

Fantastic album. Hit-Boy is on an amazing run and showing how diverse he is, and Benny is simply being Benny. I still prefer Tana Talk 3, but this album is just as quality and overall obviously more upbeat, not nearly as dark and grimy and I’m ok with that, cause I felt the same about Conway’s last album. Some of the complaints I’ve seen on twitter/IG are mostly from people trying to get their Needle Drop on, so they don’t really matter. This is a great album and one of many top tier Griselda releases.
