Isn't it a hiphop curse to have Victory in your record title.

- Victory Lap - Nipsey
- Puff ft. Big and Busta - Victory
- Ultimate Victory - Chamillionaire
- MF Doom and Ghost - Victory Laps
- DJ Khaled - Victory
- Do or Die - Victory

That's a few passed brothers on that list and a lot of brothers going through some sh1t.
I think it means 'Praise is for God only'. :wow:

Kind of remind me of Love That's True from Behind Bars. Come On Let's Go sort of reminiscent of I Shouldn't Have Done It from The Ruler's Back. The Nas track is nice from the clip.

Don't see the problem with the production, most of it fits Rick style.
Rick did almost all the beats himself. I like most of them. Not feeling the house beats, just not my type of shyt. Nas painted a dope picture, nice verse. Off first listen, album is 7/10. Some joints definitely needed another verse.

Yeah this is shorter than I hoped it would be but still I fukk with it HEAVY

I don't even mind the house beats because Ricky D is absolutely floating :wow:
You can tell from his vocals that Rick has taken care of his health and fitness unlike a lot of vets

This is a blessing--gonna be on repeat for the foreseeable

Album is cool. Beats are mostly jazzy boom bap with 2 upbeat records

Looks like he produced most of it and it works well. Do I wish there was more here? Yes, but I can't be mad at this given I never expected to get a full release from him again
