Benny the Butcher - Pyrex Picasso EP (Discussion Thread)

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

Gatdamn how I missed this shyt!!! I hate the streaming era. I never know when things come out. I'm only on the intro but this shyt super hard already!

Just come here. We let everyone know when something crazy drops

Those beats were some of his worst gtfoh

I’m not a stan even Benny drops duds

I was mostly speaking on this light shyt he just dropped, these beats wack too…I just really like no instructions and that overall track on the Harry shyt, but now that I think about it , that Harry fraud shyt was kinda light outside of a couple tracks…take this rep, HE really could have kept this album that he said he did in one day…it sounds like it

Right now I think Conway is the better artist and Benny is the bigger star. I really want to hear Tana Talk 4. After Tana Talk 3 and Plugs 1, Benny became my favorite rapper, and I couldn't wait to hear him diversify his sound. I was actually one of the cats that couldn't wait for him to expand beyond Daringer and Alchemist. And then when he did on Burden and Plugs 2, I liked those, but for some reason I just don't find myself replaying them very much. I don't want to say benny has slipped talent wise at all, because I don't think he has.

I just hear Conway opening up about his life and getting way more introspective on songs, and I wish I was hearing more from Benny about who he really is beyond just being a hustler. He's giving us some glimpses, but he's not giving us joints like Forever Dropping Tears, Stress, Guilty, Forever Ago, etc. I just hear Conway making some huge artistic leaps and I'd love to hear it from Benny too.

If Benny made a few more soul exposing type joints I'd love it.

Yeahhhhh I’m starting to think the same, Conway story is naturally more interesting, due to what he been thru, alot of people can relate to con personal struggles over Benny shyt , judging by Benny’s hairline his life was stressful too, just got to do better with making us feel his shyt more​

THIS is hard. This shoulda been PIM 2

Apparently this was recorded in early 2019. Just to add context. That might be one reason Benny isn't pushing this super hard on social media

Makes sense

don’t really care for this shyt sounded dated

burden of proof one of my favorite albums of last year

played the shyt out of that

 

[Heavy_Handz]

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

False. That album goes so hard

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Benny is so fukking nice. All the nitpicking is funny to me. He always spitting and this shyt goes. I’m surprised some of the same folks hyping Boldy James album calling this mid. Benny always has way more replay value than Boldy James

 

[Dak Pickscott]

i heard these are all old tracks?

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This is dope, squares in here trippin

The production and mixing and mastering is very good on this EP. Compared to a lot of other hip-hop releases, you can tell the engineer took his time making sure this album sounds great. I miss that attention to detail with a lot of albums. So, hearing it here is a nice bonus
