I like the album. Been a fan of Thought since '94, so I knew what to expect from him on here. I also like that he finally put together a proper solo. Everything else has been EP's or unreleased bootleg joints.

This is a cool project for him. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting more though. I f*ck with Danger Mouse's beats, but he can be hit or miss sometimes. There are mad producers I would've liked to see BT do a full project with before Danger Mouse, but this is a solid album. I wasn't blown away by anything, but it's a good listen.
How I feel after listening. Lyrically this is fire but I just picture these lyrics over stuff 38 Spesh or Nicolas Craven beats and I feel like it’s a missed opportunity. I think Black Thought’s Streams Of Consciousness releases were better.

We go from Lira to Libra
From cold water to fever
To World War 3 from the treaty signed in Geneva
The biology teacher said we used to be amoebas
The neighborhood preacher said we emerged from the ether
We converge from urethra and struck gold, eureka
The morning star Tariq, I was born to be a teacher
Whether scorpion or the frog, the nature of the creature
Is to evolve, though it's the savage beast we truly are
My words should be studied up in Berkeley and Juilliard
All my bars is hard as solid gold bouillon
My name in the Quran, like the kingdom of Suleiman
You done lost your mind trying to call me a mulignan
'Cause in 215 where folks fight depression
And wives pack protection, lives lack direction
I'm a king, I'm dipped in God's black complexion
Survival of the fittest is the natural selection
Now, bend down on the scene like I'm Saladin
The stone courage esteem is aquamarine
You mask how you really feel like it's Halloween
Where they ask how you really feel about my machine
In a class that I'm only in
Alien, horsepower like a Mongolian
Trying to find soul again
But my thoughts corrupt the vials and contaminate the console again
It's a shame, but I cannot complain though I am not the same
My bandwidth is a canvas cut from His frame
When I present ideas, naked and unashamed
His hand written in Sanskrit on the seventh train

:blessed: :banderas:

Close to famous



Ayo, don’t even worry ’bout it, my legendary styling
Between [?] and [?]
I’m from a city where it’s violent and it’s overcrowded
I put it on the map, y’all ain’t even know about it
I bought the pole without it, the soul flowin’ out
Make it hard to figure how y’all managed to go without it
A mic with a chord, I never do a show without it
When dealing with force, I lift ’em up and throw ’em out
I know the way to go the route, show you what a soldier bout
Big boy arms I’m holding out, clips folding out
Used to be a little snot nose but I’m older now
You can try what you want, I’ll show you what I don’t allow
fukk all the run around, you on a hunting ground
You spit a hundred bars, I spit a hundred rounds
You run a hundred yards tryna get out of bounds
This when I tackle y’all and show you how the thunder sounds
Bang ya as we approach the danger
With beats that awoke the anger
And I ain’t know the music was supposed to change us
But when I start spitting shyt it’s so contagious
It smokes the pages
I literally spoke to sages
They said there’s no hope to save us
‘Cause we the bad guys, you supposed to blame us
But nowadays everybody close to famous
But stop modeling and [?] like a allogene
Y’all motherfukkers could forget about challengin’
I blind rappers like a magnified halogen
You tryna tussle with the truth, how about it then
I am lightyears beyond, not behind
I’m what of what separates god from truly divine
Get me a crystal head vodka with a twist of lime
Then watch rappers get smoked like a [?]
I will bring it to your door step knick of time
I will put you in a body bag, kick a rhyme
nikkas sick but they not near sick as I am
Rappers is slick but they’re not near slick as I am
I don’t give a flying, stop signifying
Stop speaking into the mic and die dignified
I’m that septicide, pesticide, genocide
Who in the morgue? Absolutely identify

This album is dope as fukk. Black Thought was nice as usual and danger mouse beats were as good as the rhymes if not better. I loved the whole vibe of the album.

Between this, the Banks album, Lupe's, Billy, Denzel, Boldy, Kendrick and few others, hiphop is in a good place.

:whew: he heavy on those NYC features :sas2:

but w/ that being said what the fukk was asap talking about:what:


and joey ain't been shyt in a min

conway, and most griselda, after you get beyond who they claim they shot:stopitslime:

their lyricism runs out of steam, it's just not creative or lyrical

he did good getting rid of that fat piece of shyt quest love

:mjlol:

he should rap more over other production

but all in all was a depressing project

Not sure if its my headphones, but the mixing on this album is off.

The instrumentals should be fire.

Love Black Thought's verses
