I'm listening on Sony m3's. Just listen to the Nas album and listen to this. That Bel Biv devoe track legit sounds like a radio rip. I mean for late 90's yea this sounds fine. But it's 2020. Beats shouldn't be sounding muffled anymore. The highs overall just don't sound clear. Strap yourself down is another one that doesn't hit like it should because it sounds so flat. But i did fukk with the the EQ in Spotify and it helped some. I still fukk with like half the album. The Kendrick, rapsody, and Ross joints are fire. My favorite is prolly that freedom track though. Busta's pen game really impressed me on some tracks. Dude spazzed on that "Best I can" track.


But still It's inconsistent overall and the mixing coulda been way better. Album shoulda been cut down to like 11 tracks. Just doesn't feel cohesive at all. Feels more like a compilation of unreleased tracks from different eras. Don't see it having much replay value.

Yeah I feel you on the Bell Biv Deboe track, though I think that's just a poorly produced track overall.

There are a couple of average songs here but honestly I can listen to the whole thing front to back, only skipping the song with Vybz, but even that sounds better in the flow of the album than as a single.

I'm giving Busta his props on this one for sure.

Almost shed a tear after that joint with Rapsody. That relatability

The second verse on Slow Flow is fire how he slips in a bunch of classics

So peep the way that I come and weed 'em out beyond a reasonable doubt
I ain't rushin', I'm taking the scenic route
On my paper trail to unveil and just derail all irrelevant traffic
And clear the lane and deliver that Illmatic
While keepin' you hyper and keep you ecstatic while I'm bringin' shyt harder
Especially when it's dark, I'm a midnight marauder
Now, baby, bye little bytch, hope you know I'm ready to die as the best
Appreciatin' this nikka life after death
But in the meantime, while I poison you nikkas with the heat for the blocks
Scratchin' and fiendin', needing a detox
While you screaming, I'm shining, gleamin' and cleaning up the game in a mink
While I give you what's only built for Cuban link, nikkas
Incredible Hulk's America's most wanted
Hole in the fort, documented report in the war report
Givin' you the crack, nikka, new jacks
They need that Carter V for the nikkas that got appetites bigger than dinosaurs
Like, every time I spit, I get rid of a few
This is Extinction Level Event 2

[havoc]

We need to add Busta on Mt. Rushmore of Hip Hop. The living legend deliver another great album.

 

[Cadillac]

off first listen album is solid

around some part of it there were some songs i didnt care for

not that they were bad just didnt fit and given the tone of the album i felt were not needed but ahhs well.

but overall solid album

 

[Cadillac]

this album, Nas, Eiht, etc. The legend acts have been solid so far no real dissapointing release from any legend this year that i can recall.

 

[BXKingPin82]
