Phonte - No News Is Good News (DIscussion Thread)

[Cadillac]

This album is cool so far.

So help me God is dope af.

 

[Cadillac]

Was looking forward to the song feat Gibbs

It was underwhelming

 

[PhonZhi]

I'm glad he went back to the bars. He is incredible at singing and FE is dope. But he is way too good of an lyricist to not drop bars. shyt is dope so far.

This album ain't as good as i expected.

Songs after "Cry No more". R boring and redundant

If this would have been just a EP with songs #1-5 that would be great

 

[OfTheCross]

this is a great album. no weak tracks lyrically. the beats are vibin. This my favorite shyt from him since the LB days

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Lyrics 10
Beats 7

Fully understand people mentioning some of the beats are kinda light, especially Such Is Life and the last 3 songs. Those are R&B tracks that he decided to rap over. That aside, flawless lyrics on here. Phonte sounds as fresh as he ever has. Felt like a grown GetBack Phonte.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Is this a rap album or singing? Will peep soon. I miss rapping Phonte. 9th beats?

Phonte raps on 9 out of the 10 songs.Bars on top of bars on this album.

No 9th. He shouts out 9th and Pooh on the 2nd to last song though and he and 9th I think are working on something.

Most of the production is from Marco Polo, Illingsworth, Nottz, AbJo, Tall Black Guy, and a couple others I'm not familiar with.

 

[Guvnor]

Phontiga dropped an album Is it all rap or he still on that foregin exchange singing shyt?

Can't wait to hear it.

Edit:Nevermind the question. It's been answered already.

will peep then

Illnsworth and Tall Black Guy

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Best joints after a couple days with this IMO are

Cry No More
So Help Me God
Pastor Tigallo
Such Is Life
Find That Love Again
Sweet You

I almost consider Expensive Genes to be like an intro to Cry No More...almost like how the beat switched in A MIllion and One Questions/Rhyme No More by Jay-Z.

Phonte even starts Cry No More off with that nod to Rhyme No More.

 

[FlyRy]

I liked it

[Brandwin]

You can't just post this and run my man. Any details?


BTW I get the production complaints as well. I wanted a different vibe but I still fukk with this.

*Another Phonte Stan checking in*

 

[Lord Mecca]

shyt is ok. I get into it again but it was a lil boring.... especially with the amount of music that just came out the past 2 weeks... this one will lag behind in the replay list for now.
