For some reason a lot of people put this at the top of Conway's projects but it's one of my least favorites. I dunno I just haven't been able to really get into it. I've tried a few times, but even though I'm in the minority IMO it's in the lower half of his catalogue. I prefer Reject 2, Everybody is Food, Reject on Steroids, and maybe GOAT over this.

I'll give it another run this week.

Biscotti Biscuits is my favorite on here too.

Damn. I tried to get into this several times and couldn’t. @areohbee82 suggested I try again when I said I like Conway better over midtempo and uptempo beats.

This is way doper than I remember. Of course it has the obligatory drumless intro joint that he always goes for on Devils Work, and I think Fish Fry is just okay too.

However...Alpaca, Pavement, Rare Form, and Biscotti Biscuit are all really dope. Puzo and 8 Birds are just below those but above the devils work intro and fish fry.

Edit: I still think Reject 2 and Trillmatic Goods are his best 2 projects, but now I think Blakk Tape and Food 1 are pretty much tied for 3rd place.
