If you are of a certain age then this album is a "Fresh throwback" if that makes sense.
There was a time in the game where Puff speaking on a track was a staple...and the use of Puff on "Young nikkas" is amazing
The chopped up Hard Knock Life sample on Hussle and Motivate mixed with the message is fantastic.
When the hook lacks (possibly loaded bases and the really simple Real Big) Nip still delivers vivid verses...
This album "may not be" for some people but anyone with an ear can tell the production is top notch
The beat switch on Keyz, the drop out of the beat on the 3rd verse of Blue Laces, the drum solo and sirens on Succa Proof, the trumpets on right hand to god are all
among other small touches (the slight difference in the beat between the previously released and this version of "Grindin all my life" the money machine in "Last time that I checc'd") shows that Nip definitely paid attention to the production of the album.
It's a very well done album...I know Drake will probably outsell it and undoubtedly rival it in production, but I don't think from who "should" drop this year, that anyone will have a much better album than Victory Lap
"Hussleman a shooter that's a fact nygga"
what albums are you actually comparing it to
