I might need to sit with it some more but on the first two listens I don't like this. This seems no where near good enough to be in the Pilot Talk trilogy and maybe he should have left it alone after 3.

Side note: it's weird cause from what I remember about PT3 is that it wasn't mixed very well either. It's like they didn't master that album much.

Yeah 3 wasn’t handled well. I do wish he ended it at 3 but the first two is some of his best work ever.
It’s spittas version of hell is dark and hell is hot and flesh of my flesh being that it’s two good albums within one year

Facts! I actually purchased the drive for PT 3 and it was supposed to be shaped like a jet I believe but ended up being shaped like a little card with a usb attached to it. Even with their missteps handling it, it's a good project but I agree those two projects are some of his best work.

Ski was in his bag instrumental wise and Spitta was in his on PT 1 and 2. I don't feel this was needed at least not with PT name on it.

Agreed.

Spitta makes his best shyt with Ski. They have a certain sound that they only sport when they work together. But after the first couple of Pilot Talk joints, they should've started another series. I like all of their projects together, and I get that they want to keep the series going, but 3 and 4 aren't on the same level as the first two. They shouldn't be attached to those.

Spitta sound comfortable. Like he said he be thinking about letting rap go. Said they recorded this or some of it in 2017. Some of it just sounds like cruise control. Staying in 2nd gear.

Yea it’s weird. It’s the worst Pilot Talk. It’s not bad. But usually Pilot Talk stands ahead of everything he does. This doesn’t really feel like Pilot Talk. I could think of several projects he did over the last few years better than this. Pilot Talk 1, 2, Covert Coup, and This Ain’t No Mixtape are still his overall best projects tho.
