I don’t step on the Crack like I’m Superstitious

The horns, snares or whatever on the intro/title track is crazy.

Thanks for the heads up to @TheDarceKnight for this. Great prices too on this, double the price of this since they come from overseas. I remember Benny saying they did a deal with Empire for this release

the whole benny vs conway debate.. wont really get into that much, but to say Con not bettered Benny on a track once

Conway verse on 3 Missiles > Benny

This the type of shyt I be taking bout. nikkas is just super Benny fans and that’s all good but imma say it like this Benny ain’t a flat out better lyricist than Conway.

Does every thread have to compare and pit brothers against each other after it gets past 3 pages?

Off first listen.... Its alright. Tomorrow gonna give it another try. Conway album was way more dope.

Felt the same on first listen.

I prefer Benny when he's on his Tana Talk shyt. Still feel like he's better on ALC and Daringer production. Hit-Boy's shyt always sounds mad generic to me, or like knock-off versions of past beats we heard on classic albums. Too many software presets and loops. Something's missing there. Benny said a lot of the tracks on this album are beats that HB did 9-10 years ago, and he didn't know until after the fact. A couple were done for WTT. And they sound like it. Some of the joints sound like Benny's not really in the pocket he's used to. As a producer, HB should've made shyt specifically for Benny. Not give him throwaways other dudes didn't want.

Side note though, Wayne and Big Sean showed up big-time. I knew Con and Ross would go off, but it was dope to hear Wayne sounding hungry again and on point. It's been a minute.

I feel the same way but this is what the booth does breh...

 

[Xtz23]

Nah. I fck with him
The first three tracks are just better than basically every track on Conway joint

it’s that simple
I don’t think Conway has ever got Benny on a track before. Maybe once

He flowed on this shyt effortlessly

 

[Guvnor]

Are we never getting the Drake feature?

Also did Nas and him record a track?

 

[Awesome Wells]

Just played this track yesterday.

Con is on some other shyt. Dude is a top-tier lyricist, for real. Quotables, all day.

He literally only said the Timeless beat was from Watch The Throne sessions that got turned down. Never did he ever say a lot of the tracks are old throwaways

He didn't name any specific tracks by name, but he literally said "a lot of the beats were from 9-10 years ago" and he mentioned WTT. So if "Timeless" was one of them, then it makes sense.
