Pardon my ignorance brehs. Can y'all educate me on the production aspects y'all are criticizing? I don't know much about the production aspect of music. Just wanna be more knowledgeable and also wanna understand the criticisms.

 

[BK The Great]

Hero is so soulful

On I play foreverI hit thelike I know I've heard him rip this beat apart before and I remember it was on Statik Selektahs Lucky 7 album one of my favorite tracks

Yeah, I knew that beat sounded familiar before with him on it before too, lol.

TBH I think half the time cats be reaching with that shyt. Every time some knucklefukk on here critiquing a beat that's like the GoTo shyt to say, "ohh...the drums/drum pattern is *insert blahzayblah regurgitation*". Like literally every time, without fail, regardless who the producer/artist or song is. Either that or "mixing". Everyone in here an musical e-ngineers tho, so...

9/10...

I'm curious what would u give Jay's Blueprint. Or Nas Illmatic?

Clipse Hell Hath no fury?

Yeah, muhfocka. 9/10

And to answer your question, Illmatic is 10/10 (obviously) and Blueprint is an 8 to me (not a Jay fan and wasn't bussing nuts to the album like some of ya'll like to do).

Clipse (or rather just Pusha T now) is to me what Royce is to you. Good for features, I could give a fukk less about listening to him for a whole album.

Now...never question my taste again.

So u think this is better than Blueprint... Noted

Pusha T is a better comparison than Jada, and 1 I thought about last night. But this album aint aint seein Hell Hath No Fury

 

[904]

About to listen in a bit. This nikka really made a song called Rhinestone Doo Rag?

And that shyt hard

Y'all kinda had me ready to be disappointed with this album but this shyt is super dope on 1st listen

I'm in Young World and there's no song on here that I flat out don't like..

This is actually trending towards being my favorite album of his.. I'll give it some time though

shyt is subjective. I'd rather listen to Royce than Jay any day of the week. Especially in 2020.

And you're comparing a duo album to a solo album. Noted.

I agree. I laughed when I saw the title, because I remember the Rhinestone Doo Rag era Royce, and him getting clowned for it.

Hell Hath is a classic album. U giving this 9/10, u sayin its better than a lot of classic albums. Its subjective. But it aint better.

What u give good kid mad city?

Royce fukking BODIED Pendulum! That track is FIRE!

 

[Big Dick]

This whole album is fire. Royce flow to end his verse on FUBU is fukking nuts!! If you haven’t peeped that shyt yet you need to.

 

[REdefinition]

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

Royce fukking BODIED Pendulum! That track is FIRE!

For real man! I love what Royce did with this album. Grown man music!

 

[VegetasHairline]

This album is dope. I don't understand the complaints about the skits and interludes. The album has a theme and those skits and interludes fit the album's overall message. I really am convinced some people complain just for the sake of complaining. I get that people are always gonna have differences of opinion tho. Giving this a second and third listen thru the night.

Royce blessing us with another great album!
