Tracks 5 through 12 is a crazy run. You could be a little more picky and limit it to tracks 5 through 10, because those 6 in particular are pretty insane.

I'm surprised at how little ALC produced on this project. Basically just 1/3rd of it, but not mad at all.

I wasn't really all that hyped for this, because like I said earlier, I did not enjoy their first EP and I really just like that first song they ever did, Slipping Into Darkness.

I didn't think they were dope enough together to warrant a 15 song project, but I was wrong. This thing has me actually contemplating some real life shyt today. Wasn't expecting that.

he produced 40% of the project, not a 3rd

Al washed Hit-Boy lyrically and beatwise. You can hear a clear difference between a producer who's used to digging and making the most out of samples, and one who's used to sample packs while directing focus towards kick and snare patterns.

33% and 40% ain’t that far apart G. I took a guess and I was close. Sorry that I didn’t break out a calculator or practice my fractions enough in school
it wasnt about the percentage. it was the context of your sentence saying ..."I'm surprised at how little ALC produced on this project.Basically just 1/3rd of it, but not mad at all"
and puting numbers that as u now say was a guess. Again 40% is not little u made it seem like ALC played a small part on the project, which he didnt.
Facts only. I move on

Bruh how is Alc doing this.

He has two kids and dude is never home.
I mean they do travel with their kids. I saw a clip of hits son and hit's kid meeting, shyt hitboy is always around his son studio sessions etcs.


The nikka that was nitpicking the 40% or 33%, which is a third has me dying. Bro there no need to be that pedantic about it :dead:

But yea project is dope, both did well rapping and I don't think was a bad beat to be fair....only thing maybe a few more guess apparences..they good rappers, but as we saw with the Conway track their are levels to this shyt

Interesting. I mean funny enough my two favorite songs on here are HB produced songs. Home Improvement and Ricky.

Look, you don’t have to sell most people on which producer is more legendary and is more of an OG purist type. But HB is not some fisher price producer either. Sample packs can have their place imo and I think a lot of the HB beats on here sound dope (I didn’t like his ones on the Benny album that he and Alc did)

But his stuff here feels solid to me and I think he’s a decent rapper. My biggest complaint with HB has always been that I just don’t think ye sounds super original, but I do think he’s very skilled and seems like a good dude.

Not washed. Alc is above but there's not a huge gap be honest. I'm pretty sure if they had not put any credits or any tags most people wouldn't be able to know who produced what except the few usual super hardcore music nerds. A lot of people try to belittle hit boy production for some reason.

Like a lot of people thought primo produced wave gods before finding out hb did the beat and he only did the scratches.
Alc is more experienced, chop the samples better use a better engineer and has a signature style which hb does not have, but hb is dope too and super versatile
