Benny the Butcher - Pyrex Picasso EP (Discussion Thread)

[Chip Skylark]

plugs with fraud was a dud breh let's be reality

it really was. He’s been in cruise for a minute honestly

can't wait August is packed with releases. Boldy/alc and Benny on the same day Hopefully this project is all alc and daringer

The single here is produced by a couple cats I haven't heard of before. I hope there's some Alc and Daringer too, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he's saving most of those for Tana Talk 4.

I think it's very likely we get GDMM in August too.

I hate to see Benny go out like this.

we needed another daringer/alc tana talk sounding tape after plugs I met

I respect him trying to build his team up but he needed to blow his own shyt up first. 2022 prolly too late to try to heat it back up.

cool. always up for more from the almighty gxfr

I agree. I don’t love it but it’s cool.

That shyt was dope imo
The features could have been better

West gotta be in Benny's ear about cultivating the right aesthetic for his work. Like the beat/hook to this really just ain't cutting it. Some of his latest stuff been kinda eh and it really seems like part of that has been moving away from the sound.

TT3 and plugs 1 are his best work, to me. I really liked BoP too. Lately he's been falling a bit flat to me

 

[Izanami]

Surprised to read PIM2 slander. No instructions, survivors remorse, when tony met Sosa, overall, plug talk and Talking Back we’re all dope to me. I preferred Harry Frauds soundscape over Hitboys imo.

This feels like a filler project, I wish he would just drop TT4 later in the year.

Legitimately came and went. Don't remember a damn thing about it.

West really should be like the Executive Producer on all their albums

I'm convinced most of you didn't start listening to Benny till TT3

This has always been his sound

Yup

Dark Lo dropped a tape with Fraud not too long after and it was straight heat

I didn't, but I went back and listened to his earlier stuff as well. Did that years ago. I know. I think his other stuff is way better than his early stuff

I don’t see how anything would be different since even with Daringer/Alch it would be the exact same flow and lyrics/topics. It’s just not as interesting as it was a few years ago.

These dudes hanging around Hov all the time and he hasn’t told them to switch it up? Vol 1 doesn’t sound like RD…beyond the commercial difference, even the street records sound different.
