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

I think Banks should make the move too. COTI was pretty much a Griselda styled album when you look at the features and vibe of it. shyt, they're pretty much the reason why he got inspired again.

As someone that hasn't paid very close attention to Banks lately, what's his deal? Is he just that much of a loner or what? The press run for COTI was basically nothing. No physical release despite this being a great era for independent artists to eat off vinyl sales. He should be killing features all over the place right now.

These bum ass rappers using psychopath dictator names like hitler or stalin to sell their music is such an embarrassment

He ain't signed to G-Unit anymore, had a son and just been on the low pretty much. Last features he did if I remember right, before dropping COTI, was the Juvenile hell with Conway, Havoc and Flee, Bullet Klub with Conway and Benny, a Kay Slay record with Jada and Joel Ortiz and a Dave East record since 2017. He said his next project is an album and COTI was just a warmup so I guess we gotta let him cook but you right about him doing more features though.

And about the physicals this was just posted today. The Vinyls for COTI drop 9/3

It's definitely the bolded, which I think is dope. It's like he came up with a stable name for it. If you need who did each track, let me know and I can post.

If he had a production team for Griselda, I like all those names, as well as obviously Daringer and Alchemist.

Two other names that I'd really like to hear more with for Griselda are 9th Wonder and Khrysis. Conway and 9th actually have a full clip ready to fire with 10+ songs. I don't know if they're dropping a collab project or if the songs will be spaced out across other projects. And Khrysis is versatile and has done some bangers for Conway too. But I think they both have some good potential for 9th to make some good stuff with Griselda.

Nottz and Jake One as well.

It won't happen but V Don should be down

Now with Rome Streetz, Boldy and Stovegod, I would love to see a similar situation with Estee Nack, not necessarily on the label but at least some more visibility after those WSG features. Hasn't really gone that way so far.

That Pray for Rome idea a couple pages back with the cover looks insane tho, hope it gets to that. He's doing great things this year.

every Big Ghost produced project I've hear, I've always left it feeling another producer could've done it better
