[Escobar305]

My nikka did it

hardest album of the year

 

[RAW_SPK]

this intro

"I'm watching this 3-Ring circus
old lions don't roar so the clowns ain't nervous
even you fools serve purpose
let em run amok until the king resurface
...then it's off with ya heads...
wear ya little jewels, you can floss when ya dead
they take samples of em, I make examples of em
it's the thrill of the hunt, I keep my mantle covered
ask 'Ye who's loyalty's more realer
ask P who's core is a drug dealer
me and Tim is coming, it's gon kill em
the only great I ain't make better was J. Dilla
now we breaking new ground
get ready for the placing of the crown, King Push nikka! "

After 3 listens I give it a 7/10, could be a little lower

Intro - 7.5/10 (Wasn't feeling it on first listen compared to King Push, but it's probably one of the best on the album)
Untouchable - 8/10
M.F.T.R. - 9.5/10 (Best song on the album)
Crutches - 7/10 (Best beat on the album)
M.P.A. - 6/10 (Has potential, could have been a lot better. Sound like Ye just wanted to get back to his own shyt. No reason for Rocky to be on this. Might grow on me tho)
Got Em Covered - 6/10
Keep Dealing - 7/10
Retribution - 6/10
F.I.F.A. - 6/10
Sunshine - 5/10 (Weak for the outro)
