I hope roc bringing his best raps. He starting to sound like he's not taking much time with his pen

Might as well make 3 separate albums instead of putting songs in the vault.

Yeah, it'd definitely be a shame to bush more than half the songs they did.

Boldy James and Alc recorded like 30 joints for Tea In China and around the same number for Bo Jackson. Turning each of those projects into 2 projects with Boldface/China and Jackson/Tecmo was smart, and I hope Roc and Alc do the same--just release more music across 2 projects, maybe separated in time by several months. This project has been anticipated for a decade. Might as well go all in.

Al's traditionally brought the best out of him so let's see. Agree. It did sound like he was just going through the motions on Mt. Marci & Marcealago.

Every song not meant to be heard. I'm cool with picking the best and dropping a few others as bonuses, EPs, or tracks on an Alch album.

Nah, monetize everything.

I'm guessing the songs are high quality but certain songs may not mesh together. Put the ones that do together and release them. If it's 2 albums, 2 ep's, a lost tapes or whatever they should capitalize on it. Press some limited edition vinyl, say it's B sides, add in merch, and charge a hefty price.

There's no point in vaulting good or even decent music. If it's wack delete it.

For me it's not his verses cause he still sharp its him over his own production that got kinda boring...he got too comfortable and complacent over his slow stuff especially Mt Marci..not to mention that Khaos album wit Muggs...Uncle AL got him tho fosho !

Yeah, KAOS fell flat too. Especially with how dope Street Religion was.

It's both. The multis aren't chiming like they used to along with the lines.

Production slipping makes the rhyme slip more obvious

Also true... we just need to get more than 12.

I agree and I don't love his raps as much as I used to. Still fire, but he's started fitting in more words into each bar, and I liked when his flow as a little more methodical. He's still one of my favorite emcees though.
