I suspect you will be, but I get what you mean. I really liked that the 1st one was 2 beats each from 3 producers: Daringer, Alchemist, and Shay (RIP). I'll say this. I think the production on Plugs 2 makes for a more consistent vibe. It was real obvious on Plugs 1 which beats were Daringer, which were Alc, and which were Shay. The Daringer beats were hard as nails. The Alc beats were moody and atmospheric. The Shay beats were brighter and colorful.

Plugs 2 has a more consistent vibe that doesn't get broken or changed up. I really like that about it. This one sounds a little more like a short album or consistent project. Plugs 1 almost sounded like a short Greatest Hits tape of songs we hadn't heard before, if that makes any sense.

I like the different producers on Plugs 1. It's still a cohesive project even with three different styles. Fraud projects always get monotonous to me real quick because he doesn't switch things up.

Benny is Benny on here. My only issue with Plugs 2 are the features minus Rick Hyde. Overall must have been an unreleased Chinx song. I loved that beat but the Chinx verse kinda ruined it.

In the cold, it get grimy out, they do you dirty for all kind of clout (Grrah)
The OGs throwin' bombs like a timin' route
I'm more comfortable with my diamonds out
This that hoodie under army fatigue jackets with the linin' out
After that one little run, you ain't been poppin' since (What happened?)
My plug guarantee me fifty, Greg Popovich:ohlawd::whew:

You not safe this clip in my new glock great
Long enough to do a drive-by for 2 blocks straight
I put money on your head from a shoebox safe
And leave the murder unsolved like the 2Pac case

Oh I definitely like Plugs 1 more. Totally agree on that. I think it's very cohesive. I think I was just trying to frame the difference between Plugs 1 and 2 for someone.

I've been one of the biggest Benny advocates on here since day one, but I'm not terribly impressed. He's rapping his ass off, but some of the beats are meh to me, and the only features I'll ever listen to again are Rick Hyde and Fat Joe. Especially with him rapping circles around them. People saying this is up there with TT3 and PIM 1 sound wild as hell to me. This is toward the bottom of his discography to me.

Listened to it one time now. Great project again. Harry Fraud is really making a great name for himself with all the projects he's been doing. This might be up there with Glass 2.0 or the Outrunners as one of my personal favorites from the last few years

I still need to really check Glass 2.0. I only skimmed it once.
