Roc Marciano & Alchemist - The Elephant Man’s Bones (Discussion Thread)

[Newark88]

Listened with a VPN. I'll wait until tomorrow to listen again but...

Not sure what I think. I assumed this would be the straightforward sounding joint I heard with drums and an easy to catch sample, and instead this sounds like much more of an album cut. This sounds so far from what I'd think for a single. I can hear myself enjoying this in the context of an album, but as a lead single I think it's a weird choice.

Yea. Honestly, this isn’t grabbing me on first listen. But I’ll wait til the whole album drop to give a full opinion

Deja Vu feels even further left of 'Mt. Marci'

Interested to see where they take the album.

I would have loved to hear Willie The Kid over this also. Right up his alley.

Track is kinda eh to me tbh, video is dope though..hope the album got some drums lol

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Track is weak but I have faith in the project

My thoughts exactly.

I'd put it this way. If this joint was my intro to Roc and Al, I don't think I'd wanna keep checking for their work that much.

But they've also earned some leeway, and like you I also have faith in the project.

The one leaked joint I heard (Quantum Leap I think) was really dope.

Disappointed in the track, only thing I like about is the 458 Italia in the video, that's it

Still gonna wait to hear the rest tho

I won't check this out because I would never listen to a full roc marciano album. but does alchemist EVER take a break?

I don't think so man. After this we got albums with Larry June, Conway, Boldy James, Earl, and more.

He said last year that he has no plans to slow down.

I know he's gonna do all these albums for the usual suspects, but I like it better when he works with better artist that he's collaborated with

jay electronica
nas
prodigy
curren$y
styles p
gibbs
raekwon

I mean we'll get more full albums with Gibbs and Currensy. Prodigy we'll get more stuff by them for for sure.

More from the rest would be dope soon.

Personally I think Boldy is the best artist he's done full albums with since Prodigy. Al and Boldy are building a serious catalogue.

I think he may have more with Jay Elec upcoming too.

I really want him to do a full project with styles p. they have NEVER dropped a weak song in all the times they've collaborated.

Big facts. Also I'm hard pressed to think of anyone that's had more guest verses on joints by Alc and NOT done a full project.

I remember in like 2015 or so there were rumors of one being done. I'm still hoping for one one day.
