Yup. Maybe it's my label brain but if you getting a release date nearly 4 months in advance that tells me Def Jam has concerns and is giving themselves plenty of time to delay the shyt out of this if need be. We'll see. Hit Boy a label's best friend when it comes to avoiding samples so that helps. And Alchemist so rich he'll give up pub to get the record right.

Alchemist is good at finding little used, rarely heard records.....plus he can chop something up well enough, you wouldn't know where it came from. I dont think clearances will be in issue with anything he creates for the album.

Westside ain't dropping heat

BSF album is ass because of mid tier artists

Yea them BSF joints be weak as shyt. Conway projects be mid as well

Still waiting on a Benny/Conway Purple Tape joint… I heard 38 Spesh say him & Conway got something on deck

Or this is what a proper release looks like so you get 3-4 months of promo runs and people building anticipation

And y'all wonder why these shyts is doing 10-20k a week now.. Nobody even knows they coming out and don't care that they are anyway

Yea, back in the day you’re giving release dates months in advance. Times have changed but it doesn’t mean that for certain artists a proper rollout isn’t a good idea. Lil Baby or Drake can drop out of nowhere and make a splash. An artist like Benny probably does benefit from a more proper rollout. Street single can drop and then a true first single a couple months before the album release or something..

If hit boy is involved then it will definitely be fire.

Burden of Proof is a lowkey classic & Alc's work speaks for itself

This is a good formula for this project

I'm just wondering if him & Cole can run it back for a Johnny P's Caddy Pt. II

Imagine Part 2 to this beat

 

[Guvnor]

Y'all watching his interview on Math Hoffa? Apparently he been divorced?

 

[dubsmith_nz]

Alc and Hit for a whole album is a hell of a combo.

Benny might need another J Cole stimulus for this album to actually drop though.

lets go

Sprinkle some fraud on it too

It's going to take that long to clear them Alchemist samples.

Alc rarely samples on major featur es


Recent example

 

[Danie84]

ALC & Hiitboy should put Benny over the top, if Def Jam don't interfere with the sampling

That's a sample but it's Kendrick, who basically has an unlimited budget at Interscope. Unless you're him, Drake, Cole, Jay, Hov, Eminem, Kanye etc you aren't getting big samples cleared on a major. "Big" meaning expensive, not as in familiar samples. Alchemist has given up publishing and royalty rights to get on albums before since he's rich as fukk though. He did that on Schoolboy Q's first album with Interscope, just to ensure the track got on the album. This is a major reason I was very critical of Gunn signing to Interscope/Shady. The meetings are nice and everyone is cool but at the end of the day, why would a label spend big to clear samples on an album that MIGHT sale 10k first week. The sales potential just wasn't there to justify it.

I assume the album is gonna feature a lot of Beat Butcha sample library shyt, where he gives Alchemist some instrumentals to sample. Hit Boy makes most of his shyt without samples so that will be easy. Maybe they get a couple simple samples cleared but nothing crazy. This album prob does what, maybe 30k first week?

Burden of Proof & Plugs 2 haters gonna love hearing this shyt
