i liked it. nothing crazy. like how he rapped on the songs with other proudcers and let the real mcs hold it down solo.

the song formats were a good idea imo, D isn't a guy im trying to hear 2 verses and a hook from anymore. this reminds me of a Pete project where he drops a verse or hook here and there

Might have to roll up a spliff


That's the same break as Freddie Foxxx' - Bumpy Knuckles Baby:



Pete Rock on the boards funnily enough.


You sure? Bumpy Knuckles Baby uses the same break that Gang Starr - Bust Your shyt and J Dilla - Beej-n-Dem (Part 2) uses....the snare is a lot heavier in those two than this Diamond D joint.

@SoulController i hear your complaints, I even agree about the drums kinda (nobody really has crazy drums in the boom bap lane anymore...all robo drums) but i'm enjoying the hell outta these beats mostly.

Show brought em out on that mixtape him and AG did, then when it came time for the album it was wispy drums :(
