This fukking Sunday School sample :picard: same shyt that Alchemist flipped for '94 Ghost shyt.

Benny has definitely improved as an emcee. His flow is getting more versatile. Benny is rhyming alongside regular "merk you on your own shyt" type dudes like Black Thought and Jadakiss and is more than holding his own.

About to finish up this EP. I don't want to be too much of a hype beast but this might be the project where everyone realizes he's gonna be the true star of his crew.
I listened to the entire project on my commute, and on my 2nd listen right now..

this is easily, his best project to date.. If we talking purely bars- there ain't nobody out fukkin with B.E.N.N.Y.. it ain't even up for debate..

B.E.N.N.Y. & Black Thought on the same track.. :ooh::ohlawd::steviej::blessed::damn:

this seriously might just be AOTY..
I'm gonna be pedantic and say short album of the year for sure. If there's any gripe I've got with it's that there are only 2 joints without features, which are both produced by Al...speaking of which...at this point I'd trade that Hall & Nash 2 project for a Benny and Alc album instead. That beat for 5 to 50 is wild and I wasn't expecting Benny to bring that bounce type flow. No one sounds better over Al besides Benny right now, besides maybe Gibbs.

"I think they all overrated. I think they all are outdated. I'm independent but they think that I'm signed to Shady 'cause my jewelry looks like I made it."

So glad he's not signed to Shady. I thought he was. :blessed:

this is a perfect follow up to Tana Talk 3.
something that will def hold you over til his next full length.

what a way to start with that joint with Black Thought.
Pusha joint still underwhelming.

5 To 50 a nice little change of pace for him.
I've been bumping the joint with Push all week and have thought it was fire but I do think it's a small notch below the rest of the album. Maybe I just played it too much this week though.

its a perfectly fine song. i just wanted more. Benny's the best rapper to emerge in the last few years and Pusha's been the best rapper alive since WGI4C2 to me but on the song nothing blew me away.
