Killah Priest- Heavy Mental (1998) APPRECIATION thread

[Unknown Poster]

@Sagat you need to quit bullshytting. If you're going to do this KP topic justice, then make this a Heavy Mental album appreciation thread... and tag the appropriate Wu-heads

@IronFist @Billy Ocean @Ayo!-BEZ @SoulController @mobbinfms

Done and done.

Entire album is a ceritified classic. Am I right if I say this album often gets overlooked and forgotten? I don't hear people mention this album much at all for some reason...

Yeah alot of people dont give this album the props that it should get. It really was and is phenomenal.

[Demon]

damn im thinking about how much i used to zone out to this album when i smoked.

i must have smoked blunts to this albums hundreds of times in high school

 

[phatphuck]

whole album was

guess you gota be in a specific mood when vibing to this thats why its often overlooked

 

[BuddahMAC]

Yeah, this was more of a zone out album when people were expecting Wu-bangers, which led to it being slept on, especially production-wise, when the beats are pretty damn good overall. Just something off-speed that people missed when looking for a fastball.

BTW, underrated part of this album people don't touch on enough is how KP uses a different delivery/ flow or verse structure on nearly every track.

 

[Axum Ezana]

yeah killa always been slept on.....he has some dull moments but when hes on hes on. has his own style to and sticks to his lane.

Information


Few rappers have a album with as many really dope aongs especially today like these on their albums. A couple lull momenta in my opinion but priest made a good album that i needed to relisten to. Props @Sagat

Other songs dont move me either way. Wouldnt say they wack but those ten anobe are special. And his unreleased tracks like life is a gamble, build it up, mind as a weapon, wolf in sheep clothing and day of prophets i consider the album classic status. All those songs are easily found on youtube from the wuki pack.
