The making of Ensalada
Mobb album is the first that I felt can compete, but this might still be my album of the year.

Really been listening to both A1 and A2 a lot since I saw the Alfredo live show last weekend. I think I over-hated on A1 the past few years, and seeing it live made me appreciate it more.
I definitely think lyrically that A1 >> A2 in terms of substance and content. And I think maybe the variety of different types of beats are different on A1. And the features on A1 are definitely better.
But A2 has more overall of the type of Alc beats that I like, and I think the flows and cadences have more variety and are improved, but the substance and content is less impressive. And there aren't as many different "types of beats" on A2 even though there are lots of different types of samples, and drums, etc (if that makes sense)? But like, the tempo of the beats and the overall luxury vibe is more similar on A2. on A1 basically every beat sounds different from the rest, and on A2 they blend together more IMO. And I like that A2 is a little longer.
I'm torn on which one I like more now. I liked A2 more than A1 almost immediately and until last weekend. But after the live show, I'm having a harder time deciding.
Not even that they need to be compared, but it's just human nature. Been thinking on these two. Great projects.

I think Alc best work is far and away the boldy james tape.
Covert Coup after that
This is up there though, not a skip on it beat wise
Nothing topping covert coup
My first chemistry set is second

Apparently Drake doesn't like ALC after Meet the Grahams, even though Al had no idea that K.Dot was going to diss anyone with the beat.

This sh*t is still AOTY for me.
Haven't stopped playing it.
