[NYK Loyalist]

Jahlil Beats selling the same beats twice

Crocodile Python is the same beat he gave Skyzoo on Music For My Friends

ross should have released black dollar last and black market first. I think black dollar might be my favorite ross album since teflon don.

 

[beenz]

Disappointed in this one. There was nothing I was anticipating more after Black Dollar, which is 10x better, but this let me down. That stretch of commercial joints was a big downer, and the best song I had already played over 50 times from Black Dollar. There are a couple bright spots here and there, but nothing coming close to the classic joints from Deeper Than Rap, Rich Forever, Teflon Don, and Black Dollar.

I agree with this. I think this album is decent, but black dollar was just sooooo good, this is a letdown when you compare them. but the songs with john legend and cee-lo off black market.....

 

[H.S.]

This is better than Black Dollar. It's close though.

There's actually Ross fans hating on this?

 

[H.S.]

So you want Ross to rap off beat?

"Blacker the Berry" was forced as hell.

Here's my obligatory track by track review using smilies

1. Free Enterprise
2. Smile Mama, Smile
3. One Of Us
4. Silk Road
5. Color Money
6. Dope dikk
7. Crocodile Python
8. Ghostwriter
9. Black Opium
10. Can't Say No
11. Peace Sign
12. Very Best
13. Sorry
14. D.O.P.E.

Easily 4+ mics for me, about neck and neck with Black Dollar. Y'all forgetting that Black Dollar also had some filler songs towards the end but ended off strong with Dead Rappers

Had track 10-14 been:

10. Sorry
11. Babies Cry
12. Very Best
13. Buried In The Streets
14. Amazing Grace

We'd be looking at a classic right there

Future track is the worst one, I hate that he's the go to for so many features now.

Crocodile Python is my favorite so far. The beat and flow Basically could've been a Maybach Music sequel.

"Blacker the Berry" was forced as hell.

Only Kendrick can get away with that shyt

Had it been Nas, Cole, Wale, Lupe, Talib, Common, etc. they'd would give them hell

"Why this nikka so off beat, that flow is atrocious "
