Mixtapes & EPs The Alchemist - Flying High EP (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

I always looked at EP’s like 6-7 tracks like back in the day. I don’t remember anybody ever dropping a 4 song EP in the glory days.

There weren’t any major EPs that I remember less than 5 tracks back in the day in hiphop. I’m just saying by Recording Industry Association of America standards, an EP has to be more than 2 tracks but less than 6 tracks, and it has to be less than 30 mins.

Anyone can drop anything and call it whatever they want. But just from working in the business, 3, 4, or 5 songs on a project are what makes an EP an EP by the RIAA.

I’m already too in the weeds, and none of this matters, it’s nerd shyt. and I’d love to have a few more joints. But I like copping vinyl and I like the inclusion of the instrumentals on all these EPs.

All I’m saying is that it seems short as hell to me. I don’t know about RIAA standards I was just going off memory of what an EP usually had on it. No big deal just chuckled at 4 track EP

I really enjoy TFs raps. Only song I have an issue with is the last cuz I feel like somebody else would've done that beat justice but I did like Alc's verse.

Midnight Oil should have been on The Great Escape instead of Éxito but ain’t mad either way

I hope plane music is better than boat music. I'm crossing my fingers on this release having drums.

Only listened to the first track so far - I always love an Alchemist project.

Billy went wild on this one. He's actually the best writer in rap, period

...can't wait for the next Boldy/ALC joint

And Al's pen game sounds like it got it resurrected by Badanna P

"I put in pain for this shyt, this ain't no cheap labor
'Cause when it come to felonies, it ain't no free favors
Lined him up with two of his mans, gave 'em three tapers"
