So what's the consensus amongst my coli brethren?

This or Tana Talk 3?

Haven't peeped this as I'm still letting TT3 marinate. New Benny fan here and dude is super dope! It's been a while I haven't heard someone so captivating on the mic. Dude is non stop bars and multis - his music reminds me of the dope 00's era rappers but over 90's style production :ahh:

Man...I'm not trying to cop out answer but they're so hard to compare just because this one is so short and so heavy on the features. Tana Talk 3 is his official debut album and I played it non-stop for about a month straight.

I don't think there's any question though among people familiar with him that this new EP is a strong level above when it comes to flows and cadences. He stepped up his delivery big time. And he even goes into very unusual (for him) flow territory on 5 to 50. It does about as good as a 6 song project can do with features on 2/3rds of it to not feel like a random collection of songs.

I mean if I had to take one on a deserted island it's be TT3 because it's longer but TPIM is incredible.

Have you heard Shower Shoe Lords and Pissy Work yet? The 1st was most people's introductions to him and Pissy Work followed it up a few months later and is equally crazy if not better.

Gonna peep this for sure.
I'm not denying Benny's superior rapping ability, but for me Spesh goes harder all round - his production more my style and I think he's A1 at the CREATION of songs.. he can really put songs together.

Just my 2 cents...

Like I'm going back and playing Spesh's first album "Time Served" from 2013 and... yeah.. he's nuts and fukking conistent AF. Had the A1 production since DAY1. Really built this lane for the new school of cocaine cowboys. :wow:

I told these Coli cats about spesh in 14 and my thread did rocks with the occasional he's trash

can't tell if Benny got the better verse over Black Thought

on Crowns for Kings

"Before I knew an A&R I was weighing hard, back when Nicki Minaj was in a training bra"

:whew:
Was just thinking about this..



Don’t think either one got the other both delivered a fire verse.. Benny May have had Better quoteables/punches but Black Thoughts Mic presence was :whoo:

oh word? salute because i ain't even gonna front like i was first of all like you. caught on to him mad late but i agree he's better than benny

trustgang off 38 strategies was a dope performance from both of them (klass verse was crazy too) but spesh outclassed a fire ass benny verse with relative ease. i call spesh the lord finesse of cocaine rappers. dude different
