Westside Gunn - Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Sincerely Adolf (Discussion Thread)

[Morose Polymath]

Right Now is my shyt right now.... Cook$ killing the hook and Jada in prime form, Jada doing the adlibs behind Cook$ is really restoring the feeling and adding to the authenticity

Also this shyt may sound weird but I like when he's not all over every verse on his own projects. Is that bad to say? It's like how I liked when Dr. Dre and Pete Rock weren't insisting on rapping all the time on Chronic and Soul Survivor. I really think of West as a producer rapper that just happens to not make beats. A little bit of his energy goes a long ways, and I like when he orchestrates and gets others involved.

This almost sounds like a "Griselda and affiliates" compilation album. And I mean that as a compliment and not a diss.

EDIT: And I really like that he's showing love to up and coming artists and especially producers. It's fire that he's giving so many looks to Conductor and Denny. And Camo Monk isn't an up and comer anymore, but he's not as big as he should be compared to other early era Griselda producers, so it's good to see him get love too. A lot of cats forget that the Hall & Nash project was produced by Monk and Daringer, and Monk might've had even more beats on there than Daringer did.

People saying he throwing subs at Conductor Williams

Man, I think people are reading too heavy into it. I think he's just stating what he thinks is a fact. He's definitely making an analogy to Conductor's producer tag, but I don't think he's dissing Conductor either.

There is definitely some Daringer influence on Conductor and Deenny LaFlare, but Big Ghost has also borrowed heavily from Daringer's style as well, and I don't know why Big Ghost would throw shots at Conductor when they're both in the same lane.

Edit: Or maybe he is dissing Conductor. fukk if I know.

I agree with bolded, and it’s funny to me that people are salty about Daringer not having any beats on Side A…like there’s not another album dropping

People shouldn’t downplay the contributions made by the producers on Side A though I feel like they all came through

Need a Boldy X Daringer album tbh

I'm surprised we never got one. I wish I could find the interview. I'm sure I can't find it now, but when Boldy first signed to Griselda he said that he was working on an album fully with mostly Daringer beats, but I haven't heard anything about it since then. So who knows.

Daringer also seems to not have had much output lately, besides the beat for Evidence and Conway. I know he produced about half of God Don't Make Mistakes though, and I think he might be dropping an album with Meyhem Lauren. So hopefully soon.

I forgot all about Side B

Yeah I'm interested to see who is producing on that one

you know when it drops?

Legit question. Big Ghost is a white dude? I didn't know anyone knew what he looked like. I heard Conway say as recently as this year that he wouldn't recognize Big Ghost if he bumped into him.

Big Ghost was exposed a long time ago. Conway has probably never met him in person and does a lot of correspondence via email.

I was thinking about this yesterday it really feels like a best of Griselda project Like that first group album they had put out on Shady THIS is what it shouldve been

No doubt. You've got the core on there with Conway and Benny, a Hall and Nash joint, Boldy on there twice, Mach on there, and then you've got lots of recurring characters with Stove, Jadakiss, and now Rome has been brought into the fold as well.

It's really dope.

Edit: Mach is Griselda to me, I don't care what anyone says. He was on the team originally and his newest album has Griselda tag drops all over it. Unless he and West fall out again...that's how I see it.
