Benny The Butcher - EXCELSIOR (Discussion Thread)

[Playaz Eyez]

Sounds like something a Aubrey Angel would say

Which is ironic cause Aubrey’s Angels and Owlettes’s have MAGA reasoning skills

SNES and Genesis ass name

Sounds like an early 2000s club name

 

[OfTheCross]

Eh. It was ok.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Need to peep stil. I'm assuming Gunn's latest was better? The single with Boldy was mid to me, beat was boring. I heard the $ & Power song and that was dope, vintage Griselda

 

[beenz]

the production on this project is subpar IMO.

That's been the issue since Tana Talk 4. It's weird because for a long time it seemed like Benny was super careful about the production he picked. For a long time it was Just Daringer, Alc, and Hit-Boy, and he really let the 3 of those guys steer the ship with the beat choices. He seems to use a lot more generic sounding production on more recent projects like this, Summertime Butch, Stabbed Shot 2, and Pyrex Picasso.

Yea Benny's problem the last few years has def been production quality (same with Conway).


Gunn routinely crafts dope projects b/c he has a great ear for beats, and the production helps carry b/c he's not gifted on the mic.

Benny and Conway are out.

West still in.

 

[LJLYDK!]

The Only joint on here that I like is the Single With Boldy.

I'm glad Boldy dropped again because this isn't it.

 

[ShaDynasty]

The single with Boldy is boring to me but other than that its a solid dose of goon rap.

Why is this just an EP though?

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Kinda got off Benny after the Def Jam album but I guess I can put up with 7 new songs

 

[dza]

Yeah this wasn’t it

Benny and Conway need to stop thinking they’re bigger than the program and just let Gunn curate their projects

 

[ISO]

What in the Dungeons & Dragons is that title?

New York is known as the Excelsior State…but yeah Benny didn’t hit on that theme at all.

This nikka had Chat GPT make his roll out

Also, is that Premo the gambler

My God, yes. They were shooting like 98% until about 2023
