Yessir!oh that’s what it was?
I been seeing them basically promote it but didn’t know it had extra tracks
The extra tracks are the joint with Kanye and Consequence, a fire joint produced by Oddisee, and a 9th Wonder joint recorded in between Listening and Minstrel Show.
Also, he edited out the 6 letter f word. First time I’ve heard anyone go back to an old song and cut that out. I’m actually surprised in today’s cancel culture era that more people aren’t doing this.
That’s dope that they edited it out if it’s 100% their choice. I can’t imagine any label being involved in that decision.
I’m sure all the bags Phonte is getting helped make that choice as well. Podcasts, voiceover work, etc.
1. The Feel 9/10 , I really like the way they started off this album, with the loose piano & funky instrumentation, they get nostaglic but rap about starting back from where they left off, with some smart lyricism on the hook "Get back to the feel, relax and chill, I got a licence to Ill again.."
2. Everything 7.5/10, The song starts off with an abrupt sample courtesy of M.O.P, Phonte raps about lifes highs & lows, his life commitments and those who passed away in life, I really like this one too but the female on the hook doesn't add much to the song.
3. Right On Time 10/10 , this song is amazing and funky as hell, the production sounds straight out of the 2000's and got a Slum Village feel to it, the keys & drums are really nice, the lyrics are strong too on this one & the hook blends well this time, unlike on the previous song for me.
4. Black Magic (Make It Better) 9/10, The song is really uplifting, again the production is really nice on the ear and the content is really feel good, I'm not in love with the hook from the female on this one either but the lyricism and direction of the song makes up for it for me, Common would have been right at home on this one.
5. Goodmorning Sunshine 8/10, the drums are really good on this one too, they spit some heartfelt lyrics about settling down with that special someone, instead of living life reckless, the hook is pure 90's, I respect the honesty of the record.
6. What I Came For 8/10, Really nice song too, they rap about why they came into the rap game and how they still have aspirations while still here making music, nice motivational record for those who need it!
7. Sittin Alone 10/10 , This is my favorite record so far on the album, they rap over a sample of Bobby Caldwell "Open Your Eyes" , its a nice self-reflective deep song, really like the lines from Phonte about feeling too old for the club & being at home is better than hanging around the 25 and less age brackets.
8. Picture This 8.5/10, the hook is pure 90's, I really enjoy the lyrics about the old school Hip-Hop , with EPMD "You're A Customer" being referenced nicely in the first verse, another really nice record,
9. All in a Day 10/10, this song is really focused, from the production to the lyricis, to the rapping, to the hook, it's got everything I'm looking for in good Hip-Hop song, definitely one of the stronger records on this album to me, they sound resillent when lashing out at these new rappers and doing music on their terms and own freedom, great song.
10. Work Through Me. 9/10, Nice way to close out the album, with another motivational record, they come across passionately about how long they have been in the game and want the respect, the hook gets a little spiritual with the "Work Through Me Lord", as they speak on wanting that push to keep persevering with life and this music.
