[OG Talk]

Can't wait to hear this. I love El-P's production (especially the drums) and Mike is currently rapping better than he ever has.

must've been right on the money mad clowns in this thread got their feelings hurt

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Finally heard tha new joint.

I like RTJ but im not a big fan. This records cements why.

Mike stepped up his lyrics on this one....he did his thing...no complaints

The beats are much better on this. The last one was too bleepy bloopy MMA gym music sounding.
This one is a little more under control and with a little more pace and measure....so far so good

But El-P's lyrics and flow are as as ever. He's not totally terrible but he adds NOTHING vocally. He just detracts from Mike. For example on Down, joi and mike come thru and have tha song sounding soulful and rich and then El-P caccs it up rambling about some BS.

Him on tha mic is why i will never fully get behind RTJ. I fucc with this record fully besides his vocals

[bubba scotch]

mike is on top of his game with this one. i'm sure the whit boys gonna love this but got dam this shyt slaps.

 

[swampfox]

Been listening to this for a couple of days now. This shyt is hard. Don't see why the hate. As far as EL-P, the only verse I didnt like was on the first song. He felt kinda out of place.

 

[lightskin jermaine]

album is dope. mike is carrying this group something serious. take off killa's verses and this album is a weedplate. its time he goes back solo and feed his core fans.

[NV-ME]

el p used to be hit or miss to me, he's just miss, now. its an acquired taste, but i literally havent had a craving for it in three albums.

 

[wenis]

I would be cool with it if Zach de la Rocha came in on RTJ4 as Killer Mikes other side of the coin and EL came in ever so often on tracks and focused on production completely. zach and mike got these two very distinct textures that blend so well together. Makes me want to take a sledgehammer to a fukkin wall.

 

[Grand Conde]

I figured Killer Mike is my guy, but there's several other notable producers he could have linked with to make 3 consecutive albums. Station Selektah and Nottz are the first two I can think of. El-P beats as of late honestly just sound bad straight up.

Statik Selektah over EL-P...?

 

[ManBearPig]

Statik Selektah over EL-P...?

They super different.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Statik Selektah over EL-P...?

I can pick multiple beats off those random compilations and collabs Statik Selektah does that are better than tons of El-P beats. And after listening to this album a while ago, it only confirms my original post of this being another great concept, dope lyric-filled album over shytty beats.
