Early Rocafella vibes on this

I can definitely hear this.

The vibe of the beats, and that Tony Soprano speech where Pain In Da Ass would have been.

I can picture 'Streets Is Watching' era Hov and Bleek on some shyt like Timeless and a posse cut with Beans on 'Over The Limit':ehh:

One Way Flight :wow:

Really fukking with the cohesiveness of the whole project. Hit Boy has had a banner year:salute:. I feel like he still has something coming with Sean and Gibbs too.


What about a group album like The Firm W/Benny, Freddie Gibbs & Pusha T :ohhh:

Christ. :picard:. This would be so good that Big Pharma would have to start trading cocaine on the New York Stock Exchange :whoa:

Probably won't be a popular opinion, but I'd throw Armani Caesar in that mix as the Fox stand-in.

I dug some of her work on 'The Liz' but her verse and hook on 'Liz Loves Luger' sold me - If Gunn had gone more 'Ice Cream' than 'Wildflower' that shyt had all the ingredients to be something.

Here we go


the best version of the songs with this sample but not one person posting the ByrdGang song



yous need to go back and listen to the GOAT mixtape

:ufdup:

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.

Conway a savant but Benny's got a consistency, a very direct rap style and a good voice.
Benny is just simply the Griselda member you can listen to every day.

Pusha T would embarrass them on every song.

actually Gibbs shouldn't even be allowed to be on a song with Pusha T again in his life.

Gibbs and Pusha are two of my favorite rappers. For real for real. But they both are definitely a case of style and delivery over substance in a lot of cases. The Push verse on Bandana is one of my top 3 verses on the album, but a LOT of why it's so dope to me isn't necessarily what he says, but how he says it.

yeah, the biggest change in Push since going solo is how he's much more expressive he got in his delivery.
I think not being able to deliver verses with the same pace as he could in the Re-Up Gang or HHNF days forced him to.

You're bugging, I think Gibbs would steal the show with his flow, verses and hooks but Benny gonna come with some hard as fukk verses as well as Push. It would be a dope group imo and I don't think Push would wash them on every song. I disagree! Even listen to Benny on 18 Wheeler, he didn't get washed by Push imo.

I also don't think Gibbs got washed on Palmolive, sure Push had the best verse but Gibbs was talking his shyt too. "I'm gonna reclaim my fukking time and cop the Rollie flooded Maxine Waters" :mjlol: CMON!

What! Breh the imagery in Pusha's Palmolive verse was crazy to me. It was pure poetry which ain't always about what you're saying but how you say it and he knows how to talk his shyt.

This one didn’t hit me over the head like From King to a God did but a very solid offering from Benny. Great rapping from Benny but the beats aren’t really as hard as I was preparing for.
