the rest of that album is trash.

Hate that I paid $14 for this garbage. Easily his worst album. I liked at best 2 songs.

Almost a full year later and still feel the same. I don’t even need to refresh my memory with another run through of this cause it was just that bad. There’s actually some good producers on the album, but it’s like they gave Raekwon beats that even 3rd and 4th tier Wu affiliates passed on. Tommy Whispers and Remedy were probably like “ “ hearing those

I ain't heard this shyt since the day it came out

Got a link to On & On (produced by RZA)? I don't see it on youtube...

Ever hear of a Ghost & Rae song called "5th Amendment?" I think it's just some remix or DJ blend of Clientele Kidd, maybe it's the J-Love version? It has a Godfather II audio sample in the beginning from when Michael Corleone is in the Senate hearing.

shyt was dope af, but I could only find it in a since taken down youtube mix of Ghost/Rae called Iron Chef 2021...it was like 3 hours long.

Heres a link to all the tracks

And no i never heard that one. I got lucky finding this one day (on and on). fukking slammer.

I like to solit the album into that one i posted and another of lioe west coast shyt cause rae ended up on a lot of madlib and others dre and rza etc and it makes for like 2 dope sounds. A east side and west sode album.

Most dont realize the amount of shyt rae has for this and immobilarity. I have a 2cd immobilarity too. The main disk better than cuban linx. Not many rappers have a catalog that deep.

Cd actually have quite a few good joints and i thinknits better than shaolik vs wutang n fila.

This trash ass album don't need no anniversary

I ain't heard this shyt since the day it came out

I ain’t heard it period revoke my Shaolin pass

I'm sure Rae loves this album like an ugly child but I don't have any good memories from it.

The beats are a slight step up from Immobilarity but these are some of his weakest darts. At least you can re-rock the Immobilarity acapellas. I think it's a better decision to grab his mixtapes from around that time.

This. I’m going to have to play this today just remember why I never played it.

I will tell you the truth man, me either. I DL'ed it that night and listened a time or two and it was on to the next album which dropped either recently or a DL for a future album that came out early. This one just came and went and was at a point when Rae was just dropping half ass projects.

At least Immobillarity had The Table, Sneakers and Live from NY! I don't remember any song on this album near those... Infact I don't remember a song!

Someone got this joint on MP3 better quality?

 

[The Dust King]

album got pushed back mad times

immobilarity and this album suffered from incorrect track placement

like homey said he had dozens of better songs on mixtapes at the time

honestly u can argue that wit the right traçks these couldve been cuban linx 2 and 3

Yes it upsets me that people write rae off when reality is he had way more listenable material than prolly any rapper besides nas and mobb deep who also had deep catalogs of bsides hotter than most a sides. Raes stuff seems to get lost. People write off immobilarity and lex but the eras themselves were fire.

Immobilarity album, plus an exclusive for every dj in ny (10 for kay slay) , radio shows, etc. spearheading louds label really, on every compilation, ost, his own movie, videogame osts, etc. a couple trades and that album is a classic classic.

Yet its talked about like trash. Annoying. Lex diamond was bad but immobilarity wasnt BAD.

 

[Mac Ten]

This makes Immobilarity look like a classic…

Rae been dropping duds for years. I don’t know if he was smoking that weed while down south
but Rae had A plethora of guys to get better beats from if he wasn’t messing with RZA. No excuses
