Benny the Butcher - Tana Talk 4 (Discussion Thread)

[Dolo]

Who Are You is filler. Rick was years old by the time it was on Tana Talk 3. Lots of verses on there had been used on freestyles and in other spots.

Don't get me wrong. It's a modern day classic. Fire. But IMO this sounds like Tana Talk 3 on steroids and slightly more triumphant.

You can tell Benny and Daringer and Al went in razor focused ahead of time instead of doing the best they could to make an album out of 14 loosies after the fact.

This album is Griselda's victory lap of the past 5-7 years. I'm gonna keep saying that. That's exactly what it sounds like.

Damn outside of Royce verse which wasnt needed tbh I really like Who Are You, the soulful beat was nice and Benny verse is honestly one of my favorites on the project. I definitely like 4 on first listen and think its a worthy follow up, I just think song for song it was always gonna be hard to match 3 but we'll see how I feel over time. No weak tracks on this at the end of the day

Respect to Benny for this project. Feel like he already dropped his Def Jam debut with Burden of Proof and killed it then said wait a minute, lemme drop a vintage Griselda joint before I really go major. Impressive effort

Exactly how I feel. Burden Of Proof felt like a crisp major label debut, and Tana Talk 4 feels like vintage Griselda sound. Very good album.

Benny has that Pusha T quality where you feel like he means every single thing he says, like you really need to listen to him. I get that same feeling for those two and Payroll.

Loving this so far, really made me a fan of Daringer.

Working w/ Beat Butcha and Alchemist has definitely improved his production. shyt got texture now.

That sample on Tyson vs Ali I’ve heard on a Spitta track, can’t remember. The track is

 

[I Really Mean It]

TT3 is a lot better than this. If that’s an unfair comparison, let me know.

The highs are higher and there isn’t a weak moment.

There are a few questionable hooks on here Tyson vs Ali, is one specifically

Ya'll catch what Benny did in his verse on Guerrero?

Word I was listening like damn Benny, didn't expect that tbh.

Whole album is legit, this is Benny at what he does best. Alchemist and Daringer really came through as well.

That was Benny's version of a Game verse

He bodied it

Yeah that hook felt too repetitve

This shyt fire

Even tho we heard it already, what J Cole did to Benny on this is not worse than what Benny did to Freddie on Frank Lucas. I woulda edited that shyt off if I was Freddie like "no we not giving you more bars"

Thowy's Revenge is the one for me what the fukk was Al doing in the studio
