I like the tracks but can he chill with the same fake vinyl sample on every song? Like it's cool when you have a vinyl sound in a sample naturally but to overlay that sound over the top of the full length of every song is bordering on obnoxious.

:ohhh::mindblown:

Aw man. I hate when I notice shyt like that and can't un-notice it. I was listening to the Evidence joint and the quality of the sample sounded too high for that crackling right as I read your post.

A few producers do that and I've never liked it. That shyt is all over some albums in a natural way (like Hell on Earth) and it sounds dope but when it's clearly added after it's weird.

I still think the album is dope though.

yeah it's an unfortunate side effect of people pursuing a certain sonic aesthetic.

When done right, it's dope, when it isn't, it's distracting and just doesn't seem to fit.
:laugh:

I'm about to run through this album, one of those dopest producers out and he doesn't
get the love that he should !

Yeah man, I slept on him too. I always liked him but never went out of my way to check for his stuff until the last year or two. Very dope producer.

It's a good project, you'll like it I'm sure.
