Eight Birds and Biscotti Biscuits are so dope. Never heard of either of those producers before either.

The best joint I heard this year.

I gotta run it back like 15 times every trip

 

[Rell Lauren]

Randomly downloaded it today. Hard. Don't think there's anyone right now doing the grimy, street shyt like Conway.

 

[bordeaux]

the only project from label ive listened to outside of benny's work. cant say i was especially impressed. not bad just kinda ok. biscotti biscuits is the clear standout here.

 

[Guvnor]

One of the hardest project they dropped imo, period. Conway blazed this shyt!

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.

What happened to Reject 3?

What happened to Reject 3?

Good question. We know there’s gonna be “EIF4” and the studio album “God Don’t Make Mistakes”.

They seem to have went quite on “WWCD” too

 

[TheDarceKnight]

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.

 

[BK The Great]

Classic project, this was unflitered raw Hip Hop.

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Stopped fukking with him after this dud.

 

[Xtz23]

One of the top verses of last year
