OK just listened to this and FKTG did what he trying to do on this better. You can just see the major label meddling throughout. The sequencing is an issue and the Beans tracks should not have even made the album. The hooks are also annoying but Conway does his thing lyrically. Probably only will listen to John Woo Flick, Stressed, God Don't Make Mistakes, and Chanel Pearls again from this.

Even though that list usually means nothing. Seeing Con at the top is dope. If Conway chart in the top 20. That would be one of the most impressive things done in rap imo.
Really surprised KRS got the #5 album in the country :krs:

I don't have a problem with the Beanie verse, the problem is they didn't make room for it. His voice simply can't sit on top of beats anymore. You gotta mix him different because there's literally no treble or bass in his voice anymore. Strip down the beat with some reverb or something...but you can't do what they tried to do. It sounds horrible but that's not Beanie.

In terms of the album...I fukk it, a lot. The problems (from the Beanie mix to some of the hooks) aren't enough to drown out some great rap shyt. Lots of personal, DARK shyt here. Not just the super gangsta lyrics, although they're certainly here too. Beats knock, you can tell things were replayed due to sample issues yet it doesn't sound empty. I've been hating on Beat Butcha for quite some time but I can't deny the shyt hits on here. Stressed for instance...
:whew:

And we gonna talk about Jill Scott dropping bars?
:blessed:

The singles feel like the weakest part of the album. I like just about everything else. And even Piano Love sounds better in the context of the album. I just wish there was more to the beat...pretty lazy for Alch to me. But man, that Alchemist outro, the title track? Immaculate track, beat, rapping, everything. Great ending.
I knew you had high expectations and would pull no punches on a review. You liking it this much says a lot for real.

It's cool, not something I'd listen to again though. The production didn't do it for me, Conway had some nice verses but o/a he's not a rapper I'd really go out my way to listen to a whole album from. Stressed is a dope track though

I just realized GR issue. Their producers are “beat makers” and not producers. I’m really tripping off that Beans verse. How can u hear his voice and not even attempt to dress it up? I thought this album was about to be crazy based off that beat and Con verse. But beanie came on and killed all my hype. I really hope that they patch a update for that verse. Put on a phone filter or something over that shyt. It sound like Beans whispering in my hear and shyt.

Man....it's terrible to say that Beanie needs to hang it up if all he has to offer at this point is ruining other people's songs

man just started listening & Beans :mjcry:

that man doing the whisper song on his verses :francis:

It's good of Conway to be showing love and giving these looks to Beans but to open with.........maaaan I don't know :patrice:

But as has been said there is classic Conway joints on this album but also a few I could do without

Its good but not great and with the (relative) hype I can see why some are disappointed

This album is even better once you remove the Beans and Wayne verses. Wayne was doing fine until it sounded like he started rapping on a beat switch that never happened. Sucks those are the first two tracks on the album
