Pitchfork has been out to lunch even for them lately (They gave Clipse 6 something out of 10 too) so I take this as good lol

They should've left that piano in at the end. That sounded like it would've went crazy.

I’m glad you posted this, you just exposed these stupid nikkaz seriously

As usual the Nas dikk sucking Captains Ziggsby and Wiggins got in they feelings and shyt on this

But

As revealed in this thread earlier

THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE SONG , IT WAS TO A DIFFERENT AND FASTER BEAT … proof ? SEE JOE BUDDEN REVIEW EPISODE

Anybody whose ever listened to DJ blends can easily hear the voices don’t fit the damn music and was meant for something else

Preem didn’t even make (this version) of the song, Polo did

They CLEARLY time stretched the vocals to fit to the new sound, if you’ve ever messed with time stretching, you know that stretching too much from the original bpm seriously degrades the integrity of the song

What should have happened is they should have just re-recorded to the new beat … but it was probably too late and they had deadlines, so Preem did the best he could.

So all that “nah nah son, see this is how they wanted it to sound … this what they was aiming for…” you’re literally full of shyt

Damn,I was gonna ask for a download link to the album, but if there's fckery like this on it I don't want it

all I hear is him mentioning names

its not even a song

its nothing clever at all about

its just shout outs

I fully disagree that 'Writers' is garbage, – its one the best beats on the album, and the song feels pretty good, but I can see how folks that arent really interested in graffiti might not care much. It is dope to hear the representation of graffiti culture, and his delivery is nice, but I can agree that the lyrics aren't really clever, he doesnt like flip it as much of a concept or anything, it basically is just him tagging a ton of graffiti artists names up in song form. And its cool that an artist of his stature is really shouting them all out like that, but I agree that it coulda maybe been cleverer to transcend it past just graffiti heads loving it

As far as the album as a whole: Sons & 3rd Childhood are great. Writers & Shine Together are cool. everything else is gonna have to grow on me more. But I know thats just my personal preference, others like other songs more, I'm glad we finally got the album if even just to keep the 4 songs I personally like. But, it should have and could have been a better album.
