And yall my ***** the only song in my opinion that could have been replaced is make the world go round. But that felt like a label move. Hero was super dope when it dropped to me.
I feel like him and Game should’ve swapped songs. Letter To The King should’ve DEFINITELY been on Untitled.

So for you theses songs

You can't stop us now
Breathe
Make the world go round
Y'all my nikkas
You're not alone

Were better than theses songs ?

Be a ****** too
Legendary
Esco let's go
Legendary
Who are you

Breathe and Make the world go round were not bad songs but were kinda not fitting the theme and tone of the album. An album called the N*gger album should have more hardcore, blackish songs, not happy radio friendly single attempt with chris brown
Y'all my nikkas and You're not alone, not a fan because of choruses weren't as good as usual, way too long and the production on theses songs were pretty meh
Only you can't stop us now is worth it but I removed it because the sample annoys me

Foul breeze I kind of cheated, it's from sd but always thought it was a great addition on this made up album


Everyone is entitled to their opinion but you are truly out of your goddamn mind breh

Funny thing is they DID swap songs. Game confirmed it a few years ago. Letter To The King was for Untitled and We Make The World Go Around was for LAX. I’m not sure exactly how it went down but it did.

They did that to get the album released. Def Jam was fronting on it cause it didn't have enough "singles".

I don't like Untitled but will take the opportunity to shyt on Def Jam instead. Same label that made The Roots record that shytty ass Birthday Girl song for Rising Down. But at least in that case it went from being a single to just a bonus track, whereas those shytty singles for Untitled are on the album.

:francis:

Untitled came out a few months later. To me, Rising Down stuck its concept much better lyrically and thematically. I thought Untitled was all over the place, beats were largely bad, the singles didn't fit, and it just doesn't SOUND subversive or combative at all. Whereas the ****** Tape had more of the energy I expected. I thought the album was gonna be some Bomb Squad shyt.

Thats interesting how different we all hear things. I enjoyed the production on Untitled.
