Albums Erykah Badu x The Alchemist - ‘Abi & Alan’ (Discussion Thread) - 29th August (Release Date Delayed)

[Zero]

This ain’t it

AT ALL. I was actually hyped until I hit play

 

[Jards]

This is more like it:



Feel like they rushed this out after the feedback from ‘Next 2 U’ as it’s not even the final mix lool

 

[Jigganaut]

I've never went from excited to disappointed so fast in a thread

 

[dubsmith_nz]

I've always loved that beat but this is not what I wanted from this collb.

 

[Da King]

Alchemist is a parody of himself at this point, visuals are trash

The sample took the air out of it for me completely. I'm sure the album will be dope but man.....why did she gravitate to that lol.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

I understand the hate, but I'm not super mad at this. I actually think it sounds like a track that got cut from Worldwide Underground or an old b-side that would have a Dead Prez or Common verse.

I kinda want to hear next to you and the other joint they were teasing with the same sample used on the prodigy joint stop frontin in context of the album. But I wont mind if the internet bullies them into removing them from her album, they both completely unnecessary.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Hopefully they cut this one off the album or put it as a bonus. Doesn't really highlight an actual collaboration between them

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

GTFOH

So he didn't even attempt to make a new beat.

 

[valet]

Never seen Alc getting killed like this on Twitter.

 

[keond]

My only thing with ALC doing her entire album is that white boy hip hop heads rarely can do rnb music. I rather he chop up some soul samples than create esoteric Earl Sweatshirt type shyt. I wanna hear some soul with ms Badu

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

Erykah just sounds better with a full band. I'll still check for it but I feel like Erykah basically singing over beats is selling herself short

 

[JoelB]

lol
