I mean it’s second nature to me. I been doing it since I started recording so it’s all part of the process to me at this point.

That's cool. I have obsessive tendancies so it takes me longer sometimes. It depends.

I'm curious - if you mix someone's track and you get all the stems/vocals - how many real hours does it usually take to complete.

In all honesty it took me 50 minutes to just get the first passable vocal mix for one track the other day. I had to mix down vocals on 11 tracks. Each one has two chorsus and three verses so they are all over 3:30 minutes.

Also do you yourself have any pressed up albums on CD or vinyl? Or have you been involved in any projects that go specifically pressed up?

If so how long does it take you on average to complete a whole album - music, art, to point of sale?

With a 9-5 and work it usually takes me two years to complete an album to market. ALthough I set it so the next one may be faster. In my early twenties I used to drop albums every year for like 9 years straight cause all I never gave it as much deep thought. as I do now. Blessing and curse lol

never liked Jeezy, I think I listened to one mixtape when it dropped. One of the snowman ones or something. Might give it a listen just to see how it is tho. It’s just not my style and never has been.

A culture shifting moment when this dropped the summer of 05. I was actually in the clubs and around it all. The feeling I got when hopping in my dawgs old school wit the flip paint job on 24s headed to the club playing tm101 was honestly one of the most surreal feelings ever, EVERY SINGLE TIME. I usually don't even brag about that past. But I can honestly say I lived that summer of 05 moment.

One of those albums everybody in the club loves singing along to. The WHOLE ALBUM. If you know you know.

For those of you that love comparing jeezy to ti n gucci, neither one of those cats even has anything close to Thug Motivation
I literally went to this hole in the wall club in Hawkinsville, GA near Macon that from the beginning to the end played TH101 the entire time in the club and everyone was singing word for word. shyt was wild. I went with two hoes. Couldn't even dance, it was just straight nikka shyt. Still one of the 🐐 albums

I heard Tm102 and Recession.

I wasn't feeling Recession as much as the first two. But I know recession gets a tonne of love. I gotta recheck it.

There's a handful of tracks I love on it tho. Like My president. Actually alot of tracks on it are dope.
Recession is another level of :wow: going back and listening to it now is a wild experience, the longevity is crazy!
