Albums Skyzoo x Pete Rock - Retropolitan (Discussion Thread)

[I Really Mean It]

Haven’t felt a Pete Rock project in years, stretching back to his work on Bumpy Knuckles’ album, but this is dope. Not a fan of Skyzoo, but henflows nicely over Rock’s beats, which complement his flownby bolstering its usually lethargic energy.

 

[I Really Mean It]

TRUCL JEWELS

I think that’s my favorite joint off this album.

Wouldn't shock if all of these beats Pete Rock had in the stash. "Return Of The SP1200" Instrumental Album beats were all done between 90-98. Wasn't "It's All Good" beat like 25 years old?

Dope project

If you been listening to Skyzoo for a min, this album sound like any typical Skyzoo project.

This album was lackluster, I like The Easy Truth waaaaaay more than this joint.

Exactly

Carry the Tradition best joint on here to me,the rest of the album

These beats

Had to bring the full gif out for this auspicious occasion

Just got word my copy is in the mail. Haven't had a proper listen yet but hopefully I get the chance today.

Had it in on the background yesterday and some of these beats were just .

I dont get the complaints with Skyzoo either, he's like Pusha you know exactly what you're going to get with him content wise so it is what it is. He sounds sharper than he has in a long time on here to me.

Someone said The Easy Truth is better and I wholeheartedly agree

The Easy Truth and Peddler’s Theme Music >>> His last two projects imo...and I say this as a huge Skyzoo fan. This project aint wack but it didnt blow me away either. Still got dopeness sprinkled around though

is it me or are there a few references to The Wire on Richie?

Sky makes a lot of references to The Wire.
They're all over his albums.

Still Teddy Bear sweater cuz he's LOw to the ground

...One Time/Penny Jerseys/Eastern Conference All-Stars/Richie/It's All Good

Pete Rock Production in 2019 still sounding dope like my childhood

 

[bordeaux]

ive been giving this alot of play. maybe my expectations were too high. that isnt to say its bad. i guess i loved its all good so much when i first heard it. the album overall is an easy listen thats only pretty good. later today im gonna check out skyzoo's album from last year that i passed on.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I think this album is dope and put it over Easy Truth off the strength of the beats imo

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

i think this is easily skyzoos best project. Pete Rocks production is excellent and like a perfect modern version of his classic style.


these so fire :perfection:
