Mixtapes & EPs Conway The Machine - Look What I Became (Discussion Thread)

Gonna wait for it to drop on Spotify. How is it so far brehs ???

already ran it back 3 times in a row..

bout to run it back again..

he's a very consistent artist.. not trying to ride in anyone else's lane, and I like how he sticks to his formula..

I still listen to EIF 3 damn near daily, and didn't listen to any of the songs on here before today.. that joint with him & B.E.N.N.Y. going back & forth..

Favorite joint on first listen is the last joint, You Made It. That or Hawks. And the joint with Benny.

The joint that Muggs produced is dope. Usually I think Alchemist does a good job of choosing when to use drums or not but on his joint I kept waiting for them to drop and they didn't. Conway never picks beats with drums for his project's intros though. That's a consistent theme of his, so I should've known.

Not sure if I like the trap joint or not. Conway got busy on it though.

Not sure what I think about this yet. I gotta listen again later when I'm not rushing to get to work.

This is definitely dope but if I didn’t know this had a different title I would assume it was the next in the Food series. This could’ve been called EIF 4 and I would’ve thought that made sense.

Edit: yeah this does not sound like an album in any fashion. There are a couple skits and the alchemist joint, black spoon, and hawks are only about 90 seconds each. Not really any hooks.

This is more diverse than his other projects, it's good for what it is.

The trap joint is growing on me.

Dude can rhyme for days. That’s a given. This project is probably a good way to introduce people to him the more I think about it. It’s not too long. It’s got shyt on it that can appease long time fans like the first few joints. The Benny joint is one of their better collabs. The joint with all the features is a cool change of pace. The trap joint shows diversity. The last joint is heartfelt.

It still feels like a mixtape and not an album though.

Black Spoons beat sounds so demonic brehs

you talking about "Half Of It"..?

that's honestly, one of my favorite joints in the album..

also.. I like how he keeps his projects short.. very easy listening, and he always seems to drop another project right around the perfect time..

I'm just thankful he didn't put that joint with Eminem on here..

Can you post these tracks/albums where he fell off? Cause in the last 6 years he's released Albert Einstein, Fetti, Carrollton Heist, 360 Waves, Lord Steppington, and that short Yacht Rock 2 project from the last 2 weeks.

 

[Suspicions]

Wish he got killa cam instead of Dave east

Are these wack to you? If so then cool. Genuinely curious.

To be fair to @BUSINESS AS USUAL I did think the joint Conway picked from Al on here is nothing too special. Benny chooses Al’s best beats. As far as Griselda goes Conway has the worst taste in Al’s beats. Besides a few exceptions like 94 Ghost I think Conway does pick a lot of Al’s more just average beats.

Benny and WSG each pick way doper Al beats on average than Conway, I think.

If it doesn’t have drums @BUSINESS AS USUAL ain’t fukking with it




Listening now, Conway always grabs the weakest Alc beats

The weird thing with this beat is that the drums sound programmed instead of just being in the sample. AND the drums themselves sound hard but it just sounds like the volume on them is cut to almost nothing. So it sounds like he did go out of his way to program drums, but like..it sounds like levels just need to be turned up. I kept expecting them to get louder because they’d sound hard if they were turned up in the mix. If they were it would sound more like a beat Benny might pick.

I would like it more if the beat switched up some it just sounds like a lazy loop in my opinion, I do like the song though but not because of the beat
