A lot of overreacting going on as usual. The Coli never disappoints!

I’m reading people calling this mid and also comparing this to Madvillainy :mjlol:

This is somewhere in the middle of both and that’s ok. It’s a dope project with a top tier MC who hasn’t disappointed me yet. Easily one of the best in the game so I’m happy to see this getting the attention he deserves. Roc linked up with one of the GOAT producers Alc and while neither one of them are at their absolute peak on this, it hits and there are enough joints on here for me to enjoy. Don’t need to make these crazy proclamations for it to be dope. shyt is 🔥

Daddy Kane
Liquid Coke
JJ Flash
Zig Zag Zig
Rubber Hand Grip

Top 5 standouts for me

I haven't had a chance to sit down with this yet, but the video is dope. I want to give them super props for this merch shop. It's got everything and more. Skate decks, matches, slipmats, pins, ashtrays. That's what I love to see.

There’s quite a few but just to name one Tana Talk 4 is easily a better produced album & Alchemist beats on that album were far superior to the beats he produced on this one.
Ain’t u the same nikka who was hating on Roc all thru that other thread? Son dismiss urself. This for elite listeners. Lol

TT4 was my #1 album this year, until this shyt dropped.
Can you name all the others though? I feel like I must have missed a lot of albums if there are quite a few more.

I didn’t even mention Roc. I’m talking about the production :camby:
Don’t matter. This shyt is attached to a Roc album. U was hating on that nikka thru an entire thread and wouldn’t even give the nikka his due diligence for the lane he carved. Any nikka who can’t give Reloaded its props needs to go somewhere when it comes to anything concerning Roc.

If you think the production on this album is the best produced shyt this year maybe you’re just a Roc dikkrider :why:

What’s a better produced album from this year?
I preferred Cheat Codes and V Don's album to this right off the bat.

Like I mentioned, I gave it a half ass listen, but nothing grabbed my attention right away like Alc / Earl's E. Coli for example. I preferred the beats on Boldy's album last year.

I like Roc, nothing really got me right away on this album...The shyt that I'm on and Street Religion are examples of songs I like a lot that got me off production

Maybe I expected too much? I will run this back a few times and listen to other standouts.... maybe I am wrong, I'm not saying you are.
