Conway & The Alchemist - Lulu EP (Discussion Thread)

[T.H.E. Goat]

I have a little list of tentative Conway and Al joints on deck. I'm pretty sure that Kilo in the Trunk is for Hall and Nash 2.

Spoiler

- Kilo in the Trunk feat. Q (longer snippet)


The rest seems to be slated for King to a God dropping on April 30th

- Streets Don't Change (possibly featuring Jadakiss and/or Gibbs)


- Lock and Load


- Rich


- Cocaine Spot feat. WSG and Benny


- Heartless


- All I Need feat. Gibbs

I was looking for that All I Need snippet man that shyt so smooth

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Definitely. I think here in April that Gunn is dropping pray for Paris and Conway is dropping king to a god.

I was very let down by GOAT at the time. The hype behind it was unreal. It had more hype than any Griselda release ever. It was being talked about like it was legitimately the next Purple Tape. Then suddenly with no single (I still don’t think there’s even 1 video for any song on it) it drops on fukkin’ SoundCloud of all places, with tons of great songs taken off of it. Terrible album roll out, and although it’s grown on me, I still think it’s a little cluttered with guests, and ironically I like what was left off (94 Ghost and most of the Daringer produced joints from Reject on Steroids) more than what actually ended up on GOAT.

Nothing more disappointing in recent memory than GOAT. Still hard to fathom how they released that dud.

Alc can't even touch Primo's non Gangstarr work. Primo has the catalog by far. He chops way better and Al ain't coming close to his drums. Primo could make an album with you and it would damn near be a classic. He makes everyone sound great. Al hasn't carried albums like that.

Dilla literally changed the way people make drums and used the MPC. He's far more influential. He had way more range than Al.

Al is a legend but him being your favorite doesn't give you license to crown him. D Wade can be your favorite hooper but you're on crack if you say he's better than Jordan.

dont care about none of that shyt at the moment.

Alc's shyt sounds better, its that simple

I know these are opinions and alll but...If you seriously think Statik Selectah and his soulless soul beats are better than Uncle Al's....somehow...someway you're doing this music shyt wrong

Shot through the Temple that's a Hole in One

People really hyping up the flow on Calvin? That's the basic 21 Savage flow

King to a God gonna be something serious

Seeing these videos just made me think that Benny has a lot of shyt in the stash

I remember before TT3 came out he was on IG live and till this day these joints aint come out. I remember he had a crazy bar about meth & red that had me like Still waiting for that shyt

Alchemist is my guy! And definitely Top 5 today, and he's been a favorite of mine for a minute, but I find it weird when I see dudes talking about Top 5 of all-time. When you do that, you discount a lot of legends who put in work on actual classic tracks and albums over the past 30+ years. They didn't just have hot beats at the time, they shaped what high quality Hip Hop production was. And set the standard.

Primo is the GOAT, as far as I'm concerned. And it's all opinions, but I think you have to speak on impact and the amount of classic work a dude has done. Dilla, Dre, Marley Marl, The Bomb Squad, Q-Tip, Large Professor, Pete Rock, RZA, Just Blaze, Erick Sermon, Buckwild, Organized Noize, Diamond D, Beatnuts, Easy Mo Bee, Showbiz, Larry Smith, Ski, Kanye, Prince Paul, Madlib, Sam Sever, Quik, etc. There are a lot of dudes that really have entire classic albums and tracks under their belt. Stuff that'll never not be legendary. We have to always keep them and their legacies in mind when we start throwing around Top 5 lists and all that. They put a lot of work in. That shouldn't be overlooked.

But back to the topic, Lulu is dope. This is vintage Conway right here. I wanted a verse from Q though, they cheated us with just throwing that hook at him.

This EP is fire

ALC and Conway brought their A Game.

And Mega

 

[Big Mel]

No CD's for this I assume. Alc seems to have abandoned CD formats for the most part. Damn shame.
