I dont get the hate for RTJ at all. All 4 are bangers.

RTJ/El-P beats are ass

I want to like this album. On paper it has top notch production, it has great raps, great features, etc…
But for whatever reason I just feel
while listening. And idk why…
I like Killer Mike as a rapper…him as a person is another story cause I don’t agree with his political views and when I hear him speak in interviews he always comes off like he is the smartest one in the room.
I try not to let that blind me when it comes to his music, but for whatever reason this album isn’t hitting me like it’s hitting everybody else.
Gotta sit with it more I guess

There’s some powerful stuff on this for sure. That intro by Chappelle and the Farrakhan clip had me 
I’m fukking with it.

Chaos - The Album
Good album. I can hear a big OutKast influence, and most of the beats are dope. Some songs do feel too preachy for me but its good to hear more fleshed out songs after a decade of rappity rap.
As far as the RTJ debate, El-P made better beats before RTJ. I think there was a conscious decision to make the beats simpler and put the spotlight on the rapping.
I like RTJ but I think their solo albums are better. I would love a new El-P album too. Mike said RTJ5 is done though so an El solo is probably way off. RTJ4 was their best so far so hopefully they can build on that.

Look at the site you on. Have you ever heard anybody here speak glowingly about white people involved in rap?

This is also true, cause I actually enjoyed R.A.P. Music. I don’t know what it is but the RTJ albums to me come off as corny, cheesy and doing to much. Wish there were alternate versions of those albums like Apollo Brown doing The Brown Tape for GFK.

Love the Takeoff tag in Run.
This smooth as hell. Wouldn't have had Cool N Dre as the wizards behind it right off bad but they smoked it....Could hear Gibbs goofy ass on the remix easily. They need another Palmolive oil link up anyway.

For me, the RTJ sound/EL-P sound got played out, especially when you have an artist like Killer Mike that can rip other producer sounds. I liked the fact his music career stayed afloat, but damn I wanted to hear him more on new production badly.
This n1gga and Gunna have incredible Production. How n1ggaz with quadruple the budget putting out trash
