Finally listening now.
But before I go any further, I want any readers to know "Return of the Mac" was the reason I got into rap music. I always liked rap, just like I always liked music. I never had a favorite band, group, singer, rapper, nothing until ROTM dropped.
If this album never came out -- or more importantly, the video/song for "Mac 10 Handle" -- I may have never delved as deep into rap as I have, or joined SOHH/The-Coli. Hell, I might have become an indie rock fan or something like that.
If nothing else, this album deserve 158023858 percent my purchase.
But I'm five tracks in and I'm digging it. Not saying I'm "bored" with rap, but I check for the 8-10 artists I like and keep it moving. I tried Mac Miller's album and it wasn't wack, but I just didn't like it. Same with J. Cole's album, Chance The Rapper's mixtape, Tyler's album, etc.
But I'm hearing this album right now -- currently on "Curb Ya Dog" -- and it's the best sh1t I heard in a loooooong minute, man.
The first verse on "Give 'Em Hell"
This album is making me remember why the 90s rappers >>>>
