I am all the way the way the fuk in. They have never dropped any weak shyt, that Gone Fishing mixtape is a classic is a classic. I also wish they linked up with Don Cannon again, that Merry Christmas EP was FLAMES

You definitely nitpicking. Bozo vibes ? What's bozo about Domo ? No Idols is a flawless project. It's like his best work. Rare Chandeliers is Bronson's best work too.

What about Covert Coup ? You don't fukk with that either ?

Domo is a basic ass rapper from the bozo crew. Bronson is a campy ass fat bozo who performs NYC like a CAC sambo for hire to a gentrified audience.

Spitta is at least a very witty rapper. Boring at times but he raps very well.

That said, I enjoyed Chandeliers, No Idols and Covert Coup just fine. But Al could be lacing better rappers than these blog era luminaries like Cool Kids IMO.

Three songs that are flames. Some in here are trippin

There’s a trippy turnaround with the drums on Layups that’s not easy to rap over. Wasn’t expecting that. It first happens right around 1:02 on the first track.

Also, Boldy James has my favorite verse on here on WTF.

I miss Boldy. Feels like he’s been away. Can’t wait for the next project he’s got dropping with Al. It’s finished and should drop this year.

Didn’t know he was dropping another one with Al. The first tape still gets burn

Alc did the My 1st Chemistry set with Boldy James which was cool and the domo tape was good to me.. But yea he didn't need to do that tape with him and Bronson

The tape with Bronson has some of my favorite production of his from that 2011-2015 era but Bronson just gets old to me pretty fast. The features really help that project. For a “mixtape” Bronson got blessed with the features on there: Roc Marci, Sean P, Schoolboy Q, Evidence, Big Twins, Meyhem, AG....there may be others but they helped carry some weight on there.

I wish Alc had more of his production on streaming. Missing so much on streaming I can listen to.

Not sure the last time you checked but he adds a lot of it about 6 months after it drops. There might be more than you think. I have a few playlists. A lot aren't under his name (ie. Boldy, Durag, etc.) but if you look by project name you should be able to find these.

Pretty much feel the same, one or two songs of Bronson is cool he just gets played out fast to me.. Harry Fraud and Alc definitely looked out for dude on production over the years
