Anybody that grew up on cali 90s rap or listened to groups like the relativez and Kausion this is like something they would put out back then but modern.
So many wasted beats on his pops
the alchemist part is sooo true smh...he CANNOT carry songs by himself. despite him having a cheat code of his son and alchemist doing all the production. but then again, alchemist is used to doing full albums for nikkas who can't rap.
to this and @bigdaddy88 do people really not get any enjoyment out of Gibbs, Roc Marci, Boldy, Conway, Benny, Havoc, Prodigy (RIP), Spitta, Evidence, Earl, Action, Armand Hammer, etc? Doesn't have to be all them, but at least some of them? Who would ya'll rather him be doing albums with? Like, I get that Larry June is a limited rapper. I get that not everyone fukks with Earl or Armand Hammer. A lot of The Coli hates Action Bronson.he CANNOT carry songs by himself. despite him having a cheat code of his son and alchemist doing all the production. but then again, alchemist is used to doing full albums for nikkas who can't rap.

Who isn't he producing full albums with that he could produce full albums with that everyone isn't getting? Obviously I'd love one with Nas. That seems like it could be possible with the Hit-Boy connection. Kendrick and Q have said they don't wanna do full albums with one producer. Those aren't possible. But he's been doing one-offs for those guys, and Cole, Drake, Em, Paak, Jay, etc. Do ya'll wanna hear albums with cats like Jada, Styles, Banks, etc? Again, those guys don't seem to be interested in doing collab albums with one producer either. Game, maybe...Game just did that EP with Hit-Boy, so maybe that's possible too. Kanye is on the Alfredo sequel with Alc and Gibbs. But Kanye likely wouldn't do a whole project either.
I feel where you're coming from, but those dudes don't seem interested in doing any full collab albums with anyone. The game is filled with one producer collab albums these days, but there's none from Jada, Styles, Jay Elec, Ghost, or Rae. Ghost couldn't even get quality production period on his newest album. Styles doesn't want to use higher level production either. He's dropping albums produced by Vinny Idol and Black Saun. Alc had to wait years to get that one beat to Jay Elec that him and Jay used. Rae's last album was almost 10 years ago. The last time Jadakiss enlisted Alc for anything was 2009/2010.I'm not against all the rappers ALC has done full albums with. I loved prodigy (), I like gibbs, I like benny, and I like currency. however the rest of these dudes are mediocre to bad rappers, and I am not checking for full projects they are involved with.
the alchemist has long standing relationships with the likes of styles p and jadakiss. he could do one with them. obviously nas. wouldn't mind him doing one with ghost or rae. that'd be dope. wouldn't mind him doing a project with j-electronica either.
no one thinks he's gonna do a full album with hov/nas/drake/k-dot or j.cole even tho he's worked with all of them.
And Al works a certain way where you gotta hunker down where he is and lock in.I feel where you're coming from, but those dudes don't seem interested in doing any full collab albums with anyone.

I don't necessarily think it's as easy as some of ya'll think it is. If a lot of these were as easy as it seems, a lot of them would've happened. That's all I'm saying. I know he's not everyone's favorite rapper, but Roc Marci like him or not is one of the best lyricists to do it.
