I think the following MCs would benefit great from the ALC treatment:
Cam
Devin
Jada
I'd like him to work with some legends. I get he's spotlighting younger talent but they just aren't as good as the bigger names.
Russian Roulette is ill.
I like how it's much more thematic and conceptual than the usual Alchemist project of give a middle of the road rapper a bunch of dope instrumentals.
Alchemist is my goat but there's something about this project I don't fukk with at all. I'm getting sick of these lackluster rappers man. This dude has some clever lines but he's just so fukking boring to listen to.
I actually wanna kinda cosign this. Not saying I don't fukk with it, but something is different. Like I said, the beats are in my top 3 collab projects easily. But I haven't played the album at all this week. For me I think the songs are too long. Boldy doesn't suck, but 50 mins is a long time to listen. I think it'd like it more if a couple verses were cut and it lost about 10 minutes or so.
you guys aint feeling this? cot damn
Nothing is fukking topping the Covert Coup shyt. NOTHING. M1CS is incredible and I have it in my rotation, but listening to Covert Coup for the first time in a few months just brings it back so strong. If they pressed Covert to CD and Vinyl, I'd cop both 2 times - One pair in the lockbox, one pair in the rotation. It was completely unique to me. Ventilation and Success Is My Cologne
Man, the only thing that was disappointing about that entire album was the it wasn't pressed for retail.
