Jada on Pillow talk was filthy 
Griselda Express
I wish 38 spesh had been able to get something on here
That 3rd Verse on TMVTL is a direct threat to the dude that shoot Benny in Houston
Over V Don?
shyt will probably never come out with Dark Lo's situation, unfortunately.100% The Boldy x V Don joint can't come out soon enough. He's the only one of the Alc clones (respectfully) that is actually close to his level. He's getting better every year too. These rappers need to tap in.
The beat on How To Rap is unforgivable. Really horrible.
There's 0 reason for these joints not to be on the album. Maybe they're doing the major label thing and saving it for the "deluxe" drop in a couple months. Even the Hitboy joint sounds better than most of his joints that made the album.

Dope album. Probably right behind TT4, but I need to listen to it more. Hitboy is definitely the thing holding the album back from being better. He has a few on here that go, but some of these joints...
Everything I've read on here from you guys is pretty on point. The sequencing feels off, the Hitboy joints throw off the cohesiveness, and Alc murdered everything he touched. Benny is consistent. That Snoop hook is a highlight.
Let's see what Def Jam is going to do for him now, because nothing on here sounds like it has any mainstream appeal.
This is all true. I feel like they were so close to a classic with Burden of Proof, it’s like a smoker with that 1st hit. They been tryna chase that feeling for the last few yrs but it just don’t hit the same.When that chipmunk "sample" came in when Everybody Can't Go came on
Hit makes these paper thin, great value "soul" beats that I can't get into. There's no life in that sample and there's definitely no soul. It sounds generic and I knew what the drums were going to sound like before they came in. It's lazy and there's probably 1,000 beatmakers who could make something like that in 5 minutes. Benny could have searched for soul type beats on YouTube and got the same result or better.
Then TMVTL comes on next and makes that beat sound even more weak and flat.
It ain't just that Hit Boy was using sample packs because Al uses them too. Johnny P's Caddy is one example and he might have used some on this album but you'd never know just listening to it. Hit Boy uses them and you can hear it. He's just not a true sample based producer. His style works for mainstream music but it's not going to hold up vs Alchemist and that Griselda sound.
The best beat Hit Boy gave him didn't even make the album. I would have taken that song and had some other producers do the rest of the album. I don't see the value in using Hit Boy if he's not making you a hit record. His beats don't really satisfy the Griselda crowd so who are they for?
