Deja Vu is dope btw.

A whole Marci/Alchemist album of avant garde shyt like that would be so dope.

It’s honestly the only skipper on the album to me. I’m really trying to get into it. I like it more than when it dropped and if I think if it as an interlude it’s definitely better.

YOOOOO





Couldn't figure out why I recognized the name Horns of Abraxas. It's from the movie Mandy with Nic Cage and it's one of my favorite horror movies of the last decade.


The layers of

Horn of abraxas is a horn that the cult uses to summon demons that kill Mandy

How much did you like Haram? I feel like Alchemist is dabbling more and more into leftfield sounding shyt. I like that side of his sound.

I feel bad for the people missing out on Macaroni and Momma Love.

They don't feel like extras at all, Macaroni is top 5 from this album to me.

Stigmata is the sleeper joint....

Gives me Cuban Linx vibes....like a mix of Wisdom Body and Can It All Be So Simple remix

Lowkey Wisdom Body is like the prototype for Marci's whole style.

I liked Haram. I agree it’s the most similar sounding project he has to this one. I dig the left field shyt. I really do. I just like a few more traditional joints to keep things grounded though. I love the blend on Elephant and Bo Jackson.

I think I’d like Haram a little more if I liked that style of rapping a little more. Moneylenders was one of my favorites on there.

Pretty sure he said Ike Ice maybe referring to Ike Turner/Pimp Ice-T but maybe

I’ve never really checked Pirate’s solo joints but I might check a few after that guest verse. Was solid.

The best pirate verse
