[HiiiPower]

damn i just looked and they did basically all his good songs. he needs to get back with them.

Last I heard they were suing Dre and Interscope for millions in unpaid royalties..

 

[NYK Loyalist]

Cocaine is an incredible song. I can't stop listening to it

 

[NormanConnors]

I swear Royce & Eminem be having the same flow some times...

I think Royce is that much of a genius that he unlocked the code to Eminems flow... Or is it vice versa?...

Both, they just know how to rap period

 

[ManBearPig]

his 2nd best album

only the first prhyme album is better

 

[DirtyMoney]

I thought this would be his blueprint
3 incredible songs, cocaine, boblo boat, stay woke.
Everything else is subpar. I mean 21 tracks what for.

Yeah the highs are really cool but album stretches out a little... sheesh his family business aint no pretty shyt though, I thought the song where he was talking bout fighting these dudes at the court was the first time in rap ever where I thought the protagonist was in the complete wrong and I had no type of empathy for them until after I listened and considered how he was raised by his pops

I thought the mixing of the vocals were pretty weak for a rapper of this level, sounded kinda hollow it was off

Anyone know who the other person is singing on cocaine? Can’t see it posted anywhere

 

[Yayo Toure]

Album flows really well, feels like a movie. After bumping it for a week I gotta say now it's a classic. Only thing I really hate is Logic's verse on Caterpillar remix. Dude is pure cringe at this point.

Wait, this whole time I thought Stay Woke was the album closer and First Of the Month was a bonus track along with the Caterpillar Remix
