lets go man.

clicked on spurs 3 first

breh needed to drop the laugh adlib in after the cop/car cost line
the disgust in his voice "i dont wanna be friends with you rapping niccas"
On some producer nerd shyt, I'm interested to know if Spurs 3 is sample-free or not. Beat Butcha went sample free for Everything But Jesus and maybe Front Lines too. Dude is walking away from this album as a winner. More beats than any other producer, and easily produced 3 of the best songs on here. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I like Beat Butcha and Daringer better apart than when they produce together.

Right. I can’t understand the constant urge to try to play Daringer like he’s wack or something.

Like I mentioned in my other post, dudes that already don’t like Griselda are pretending that they’ve listened to Conway’s album and making comments that aren’t even true. Let’s just say Daringer was actually crappy, he only produces 3 total tracks on here, one of which is a joint production. This is the most diverse production Conway has had since maybe EIF 2 or 3. Dudes in here lying for daps:mjlol:

This shyt is amazing off first listen
Might as well drop my little review, because I didn't get to listen to all of it until this morning. TL;DR: This is the first Conway project that actually sounds like an album and it's definitely his best and most well-rounded work so far.

This album is a litmus test for Griselda fans. I enjoy when Conway does full projects with Daringer or Alchemist, but I'm really glad he's able to branch out here. He's not branching out so much that he's using his sound, but it's enough for him to reach more people. It's a really dope balance. I love how he brought in new 'new' producers like Hit-Boy, and new 'old' producers like Havoc, Primo, Erick Sermon, and Rockwilder.

From King is a crazy intro. Makes me feel like I'm watching the Chicago Bulls step onto the court or something. The Alan Watts sample was a nice touch. We all know Fear God and Lemon Squeeze already. Both dope. Meth with a verse of the year contender, showing the kids how to do it.

This is barely a complaint, but I thought Dough and Damani were both dope enough and different sounding enough to be their own tracks, and I didn't think the beat-switch worked as well as '97 Hov. Both vibes are dope though. Uncle Al and Conway don't miss and they nailed it again on Dough. And the Juice references and Jay/Big bars on Damani were perfect.

Anyone else notice that every verse and the hook on Juvenile Hell has the same cadence going on? Banks killed that shyt, and Flee held his own. Front Lines we all know. Dope track.

Anza is crazy. I like the church organs. Not a fan of Armani, but thankfully her verse is last, so can be skipped. Seen Everything grew on me. The singing too. Winner. Spurs 3 is just stupid. Flee Lord was on here but got taken off I guess. I figured Benny would steal the show, but I think Conway got it, and West had a solid verse too. This is better than most of WWCD. :manny:

Forever Dropping Tears is perfect. I got choked up during the verse about Shay. :mjcry:

My homie Khrysis came through on the 1st bonus joint, Jesus Khrysis. Good looks by Conway for dropping his name in the title of the song. That's as good a 2-minute track to show off Conway's ability to flex on the mic as anything he's made. :wow:

Nothing Less is not like any Primo beat I've ever heard, but it's a good way to close it out. Love the Mitchell and Murray reference. Song must've been recorded super recently.

Who would’ve thought Cormega and Method Man would have had verse of the year contenders in 2020? And Con got both of them
:patrice: Meth crushed Con on Lemon Squeeze. Conway's verse on Lemon Squeeze is actually one of my least favorites on this album. I also thought Conway crushed everyone on Spurs 3.

Edit: yeah, Cormega's verse on this is definitely fire, but Con got him.

Oh I didn’t mean he had a better verse than both I meant he just got them both on his projects. Mega had a better verse than Con on Sonny imo. It was about even until Mega hit that “this was a compelling performance” hit the gas for the rest of the verse
