I like the album but I get it if people find the beats intolerable. The production is less normal than your average hip hop and the drum patterns are not orthodox at all. It was definitely not on a budget however (you think Timbo, Cole, Kanye, Metro, Boi-1da, Diddy & Sean C/LV, and Hudmo beats come cheap?) and Pusha definitely knows how to pick beats. You can't front on Sunshine and Keep Dealing tho :whew:

Yep. when us rap fans have been bombarded with trap sounding beats for the last 4-5 years, left-field beats almost sound foreign

I was listening to this earlier in the gym.

Beans' voice on 'Keep Dealing' kept reminding me of someone - couldn't put my finger on it until I realised he sounds like a hood version of Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone. If he's up to recording an album, it could add an interesting spin to it.

Nothing earth shattering - Just an observation :yeshrug:
