Benny got a style that really makes his bars poke out. They're not hidden behind too much smoke & mirrors.

Project is dope. I enjoyed it more than Conway's and I usually prefer Conway to Benny.

Well said. My sentiments exactly . I honestly haven’t revisited Con’s joint ... but I’ve had Benny’s on repeat damn near daily since it dropped , running it start to finish

 

[Starburst]

Congrats!

Still bumping this.

More I listen the more I enjoy. Sounds superb in the whip. Jay would’ve fit perfect on One Way Flight

My cousin in Michigan posted a video on Snapchat listening to this album. nikkas bumping this worldwide.

 

[Nero Christ]

You sound thirsty my breh..have a drink

I haven't heard TT3 but The G.A.T. by Mach can stand up to a lot of tapes that dropped in the past 3-5 years

Ordered the vinyl. Great album. Now preparing for 38 Spesh to drop on Friday the 30th. Ransom also dropping next month. 2020 has been a great year

Benny raps like he’s still reading off the paper. No real style yet.

He's definitely getting better but like I said before, if you pay attention, his cadence is like one of those dudes who used to battle via text on message boards who would highlight their multisyllabic rhymes with dashes or colors.

Its like Big Pun's breath control, just try to ignore it breh

Benny is good, but he's getting kinda boring imo. Most of the dudes he got features from got him on the the track. A legend would never get served like that. Wayne and Sean torched him

Everybody gets got on a track...

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Everybody gets got on a track...

Legends don't get got multiple times on they own shyt

 

[InstantKlassik]

Remember Jay is who they listened to when they was in and out of jail

He spoke to them because he went through what they did but never really dealt with the fall out

Jay got out just in time and blew up


Conway got shot
Benny was in jail with Emory Jones


So you can't say none of the storys they heard on the albums was fake

Westside other brother machine gun was killed


They look at him like so many do like players look up to Jordan


It is what it is


You see it as dikk riding

Most see it as giving him his flowers and saying hey your songs and stories got me through


Pun was like that with Kool g rap


Pun got on one knee when he met Kool g rap

It’s embarrassing. These dudes are damn near 40. And Jayz is not Jordan at all.

I like that Hip-Hop is evolving and today a 40 year old rapper doesn’t sound dated or over the hill like a 40 year rapper would have sounded 20 years ago. These guys sound as refreshing as ever. I love that they are taking it back to a sound that never should have been abandoned by rappers of the past. 2020 has been a tremendous year for Hip-Hop with this retro new shyt dropping everywhere. I salute this shyt

But if it was Nas, yall would be telling them dudes to move over
