Aiight this might be better than his last album and I loved that shyt...I gotta listen to them both back to back

also

Such a shame we never got a proper Bad Meets Evil album from this era. Instead we were given that fu*king wack ass album with fu*king Bruno Mars on the lead single.

Man that track cranks tho. Ionno about ya'll cats sometimes.

Terrible beat, not even conducive to spittin or flowing. They just talking. Lazy repetitive hook. Corny & boring song concept.

Nothing redeemable about it, but you can allow yourself to enjoy anything you want

I think the album is nice though. I skip the skits, Dope Man, & Tricked. Everything else I fukks with.

Destroyed Conway on FUBU. That joint a banger

Conway should've told Royce to remove his verse. shyt was pedestrian and Royce just murdered it.

I agree. Lazy track.

I really wanted the album to be like this song, I think he went another direction cause this song might've been too graphic for the public's ears. Royce also produced this.

Alot great pts

Alot great pts

That dude with the braids seems like he would be annoying.

But I'm not shocked they like this album

I havent liked a Royce album in I dont know when....but I like the theme here and the rapping. production dont move me but he did it all himself so will give him some slack and credit for that.

Crazy how evolved Royce is from Death is Certain. Sounds like a totally different emcee.

Album is fire. First listen I thought it was garbage but once I gave it a good listen it really hit me. I’ve been listening to it nonstop the last couple of days. The beats aren’t great but they aren’t bad and they work for Royce. This doesn’t have the highs that Book of Ryan has but it’s way more cohesive and I really like the direction he is going with his content. Salute to Royce

My thoughts exactly. I feel like “you going to learn” would’ve fit perfectly on this too.

 

[old boy]

can we discuss the level of emceeing by Grafh & Royce on i play forever like adults?

yo i've listened to this LP all the way through about 5 times now and i'm blown away. i mean it ain't perfect because of shyt like unnecessary skits but overall this shyt is epic to me. no wonder crook off top said yo son produce me and my little brother's joint project when he heard these beats lol. i love the production that much and i'm literally shocked, like who knew he was capable of this. and lyrically he pretty much sealed on the deal on whose better between him and marshall. c'mon man eminem ain't rappin at this level b. not many nikkas are right now period. he's a fukkin nightmare. this gave me tana talk 3 feelings no cap
