Dead Prez - Information Age (2012) link in profile

I bought this yesterday morning and off the beats alone it's easily their weakest album. I don't think they were going for mainstream appeal because obviously there's no way that would happen considering their content. When I started seeing the album described as "futuristic" I knew shyt was probably gonna be . The last track on the album sounds more like your typical DP track, my favorite on here is What If The Lights Go Out.

I agree with this being their weakest album. Don't know why they would go this route with these beats.

Broaden their production/audience? International appeal? Sh1t, they already had that. There have to be a reason why they did an album like this, because if they did it just to switch it up or be "different" cats who been down with DP since day one and copped all their solo and side projects are gonna listen to this album for the first time like

Why would DP make a Lasers... why?

every single thing the dead prez released was better than this- albums, mixtapes, solo albums

even that young noble/stic man album was better- actually that was fire- i bought that from tower records back in the days- shyt was piff

Dead Prez sold out...? I'm not surprised.

They was talmbout growth and shyt so I guess they matured into weak beats and no kill whitey lyrics

My homie Stic need to start smoking weed again

 

[Super Cheech]

Had no idea this was dropping

 

[Tom]

i coulda swore this album already dropped in 2008

 

[Piano Reevez]

I think it's genius that they are spittin the shyt they are over these Top40 Pop beats. They created something that never existed before.

Hate to be the one to tell y'all but this ain't ya average DP release. The content is there, but these beats...gotdamn, it ain't them. I guess they were going for mainstream appeal. A lotta y'all gone trip the fvckout when you hear this sh1t...

when is above the law gona release an album,is hutch in prison?

are these beats? why are they on a dead prez album?

i thought about it- they still spittin that knowledge on the tracks but trying to reach out to a wider audience by making the beats sound like black eyed peas beats

but i cant stand this shyt- mannn im trying hear this shyt:

Damn, is the production that bad? Fam mentioned Fergie could rhyming over these tracks....That's just wow. I'm afraid to check for this. I've always checked for DP, I even thought Stic's joint, The Workout was ill. Production was niiiice on there. What happened?
