:laff:do you have an actual critique on the album? Is that you Benny? guess what Fred and the Clipse are better at coke raps than you.

Didn't love the single. Not bad at all just felt predictable and safe. Album as a whole way more varied than expected. Freddie and Alc styles just balance each other out. Only real knock I got on Alc in recent years is too many projects with laid back rappers, sometimes the energy is lacking. Problem don't exist with Gibbs.

Haven't had a chance to lock in and listen undistracted yet but this is sounding nice. Shangri La, Gas Station Sushi, Gold Feet and A Thousand Mountains the standouts off the first few spins.

Really like when an album finds that “pocket” when the artist and/or producer find that zone. For me, “The Cool,” “TPAB,” “Graduation,” etc. are examples of albums that have had it. This album from “Shangri La” to “1000 Mountains” got it too. Not calling it a classic buttttttttt…….

part 1 is better, this one seems like it's trying hard to capture that magic but this one is solid

I like the first one fine but I don’t love it and think it’s one of the most overrated albums of the 20’s. I think this one is solidly better.
When it dropped i was confused about the hype cause it wasn't as good as Bandana for me but it grew on me.

If Freddie had the $500 Ounces beat on it like he wanted it would've been an undeniable classic imo
