Modern doesn’t have to mean trap beats. Modern is also what Hit Boy did for Nas it’s Daringer, Conductor, Havoc still has heat, shyt Buckwild produced an album for Saigon recently and it sounds dope.

But those are the same type of beats L has always rhymed over . Buckwild was one of L's producers. He still has the same formula of samples and gritty drums.

I hope this is good

 

[Crumple]

Will this have modern production on it?

I don't know.

But if you listen to the beat in the original post that fades out - if the beats are dope like that, then great!

I've never really dug into L's unreleased or unfinished songs, I struggle to listen to poor quality music outside of a general curiosity.

I'm looking forward to hearing this if it's been properly mixed, mastered and sounds clean. It's a great idea.

I wish more artists would do this, there are so many fire mixtape songs and internet leaks that never got a proper CDQ release.

For whatever reason, I read that second part in Ghostface’s voice when he said he studied under Bruce Lee lol

That’s really dope though, bro

Sample clearances are a bytch nowadays. I feel like thats whats been holding back a lotnof those songs from getting proper re-releases. Especially of your not signed to a major label.

lets go

HAHA! That's how we speak here.

He was older than me, but we knew him before we even knew he was rapping. Everybody just called him "Mont Mont". Then later on, I hear him on Showbiz & AG's first album and didn't even know it was him at first! LOL!! That was the best era.

I kindve expecting NaS to be on all the albums so a feature here would be nice as well

Also Cam and Mase could mess around and drop something in Children of the Corn vein

Said in the other thread as well really like the photo used for the cover, looks very authentic in this AI world bs

Havent listened to L in a while so ill try to farm some streams

Just realised this is scheduled for Halloween, very on brand for "Devil's son"

Cam could but he's not one for rushing stuff to meet deadlines. just recently on his skit he made about Supreme Clientele 2 on IG in the caption he made an apology for not having a verse done on time for the album.

I will say though, depending on who's dealing with the album, they might go out of their way to not put Cam on there. Cam's not one for acting like L is holier than thou in his passing. he talks about L as a person who he knew, good and bad and its rubs some of L's people the wrong way and they were talking about Cam, Cam shyt on them in one of his freestyles.

which is why If Mase on there I'd be shocked.

Lord Finesse is a must and McGruff should be on there though.
