[Wepa Man]

I'm not sure about these beats brehs

 

[breakfuss]

I wish Nas had been featured on "Open Doors" instead. Seemed like the obvious choice.

[StretfordRed]

Mac and Lobster has been on content repeat. Besides Omertà and 600. Fire album.

 

[StretfordRed]

I’ve listened to this multiple times now, and more than Clipse.

Same. I skipped through a lot of the Clipse. I’ve basically listened through this 2/3 times during a workout.

 

[breakfuss]

the swizz joint. really? that's certainly a choice. although to be fair everyone snapped on that. and it looks like they used a.i. to make this video lol.

 

[surv2syn]

I listened to about half so far. Sounds good, nothing wack yet. Unless the rest of the songs fall off a cliff it’s solid at worst just based on first half

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

If Rae don't stop with these AI videos

If Rae don't stop with these AI videos

I saw it earlier and just kept scrolling, lol.

But this goes right back to not wanting to spend bread. You gotta be willing to spend to set the album up for success. Chef out here trying to pinch pennies on an album that's mad important for him right now. That ain't gonna work. Sh*t is corny with all this AI nonsense. The people need to see HIM.

Its a crime Raekwon doesn't have an album fully produced by Alchemist.

This I agree with. The A.I. shyt is mad wack. I’m hoping that the entire video won’t be like that and its just for the teaser.

Hurts my heart, especially because Wu had the ILLEST videos...when Rza was still in charge. I still watch some of them on like a weekly basis.

I agree, the chemistry was there on Surgical Gloves off OB4CL2.

Exactly.

Their whole vibe with the videos was just organic and mad authentic. Some of Hip Hop's most iconic too. Sometimes, keeping it simple is just the best way to go.
