Agreed. You like the joint with Gibbs?

Diggin the project. I don’t think it’s as good as m1cs but that’s a hard album to top.

I do, I really don’t have any song that I don’t like to be honest...maybe Mustard but that’s only because it’s short

I like the features this time around more than I did on M1CS

No doubt.

I wouldn't say he looks unwell but he definitely looks a little bit unhealthy. But to be honest a lot of the never leave the lab type producers do tend to have that look about them like they don't get outside much, exercise, or eat enough. A lot of the super hardcore beat nerds look like basement dwellers.

Hip-hop producers are mostly eccentric weirdos.

I swear I wish I was able to do that stay home drink, make beats and get paid.....lol I'm dead serious I probably would hardly eat

I love making beats but I have no time man

Alchemist did his thing on here

I'm liking Boldy on this more than I did on M1CS too

Yeah man they work a lot. Supposedly Al and Boldy recorded almost 40 joints for what got whittled down to Boldface and Tea in China.

I’ve heard Al pretty much doesn’t eat and just intakes coffee so he can just make beats as much as possible. Don’t care about anything else. It’s a trip. I hear a lot of beats end up unfinished though. I know ‘94 Ghost is an unfinished beat.

This album is interesting after a few days. It’s real consistent but very few tracks stand way above the rest IMO

@savoutch Run-ins reminds me of a cross between You Know and Never Trust a Soul. And do you know if Hall and Nash 2 is still dropping next month?

Surf & Turf, Slow Roll and Phone Bill are the three standouts to me. Those beats are a notch or two above everything else.

maybe I just need to stop comparing it to my first chemistry set but the beats on this one aren't hitting the same. They aren't wack just not as good as last album

However Boldy lyrically sounds better on this one.

I will give it some more listens tho overall it's alright. Maybe it needs time to grow on me

1st one set the bar od high....this one good tho

I went in not comparing it to the 1st one ...too much years went by
