just give my man jim his just due...cant a nikka pen game get better ?
He definitely got better. I just meant he didn't write every word. I'm not comparing him to prior projects, I'm comparing him to his interviews and posts and so libation just stood out. No knock or hate

Killa's biggest problem is whoever mastering his shyt aint mixin it right lately. Hopefully seeing Jim on fire will spark him up:spurwhew:

Uptown, Downtown, Switzerland
album of the year. quite easily so far.
i had that Eto x Muggs album as my number 1 but i've already played this more in its first week than i have for Eto's overall.

i'm putting it there with Victory Lap and Championships in terms of the artists vision was fully met.
nice little trio of albums to play back to back too. did it yesterday.

they really should have hit OG Juan about getting Jay on State Of The Union after they got the Ross verse.

Pity In The Summer still the highlight for me. perfect NY summer song.
Cam and Fred killed it, beat is lovely and i loved the way they used the guy singing like he was a vocal sample.

speaking of the white guy singing. he floated over that Lionel.
in the snippets i genuinely thought they sampled Vampire Weekend and i was trying to figure out which song.

that Whitney sample on the song with Jada speaks to me.

I agree with the bolded. They should've gotten JAY on STATE OF THE UNION. He would fit seamlessly on that track. They need to get Jay to drop a verse on a remix.
