This will be good

I normally root for the home team. But Vale got my vote. Tracks more polished, schemes and content more engaging. Get back in the lab Rod, I expect better from you.

 

[Pop123]

The Vale guy got this. Don't be discouraged tho champ, some of the reason is his shyt just sounds better sonically, like the audio.

 

[kingdizzy01]

i give it to @FruitOfTheVale.


@bigrodthe1 project is dope, grimey, but u must get a better mic!

Thanks for listening gentlemen. I put this project together since we been quarantined. I got 2 mics. Both were giving me hell so I went to recording directly into the laptop with the built in mic and seeing how I could play with the mixing. Hell I think it plays into the chaotic concept myself

 

[bigrodthe1]

Also this my first actually project in 7 years

My review for @FruitOfTheVale is In his project thread


I give production edge to Rod, I noticed CuzinQ had two placements on there and Rod's self produced joints were cold, so special is one of the standouts and forget me is some hard shyt. You always have a clever way of replaying samples that's very distinct/your own style.

Only thing that set the tape back imo was the audio quality on a couple of the verses (I'm really the last guy to offer any critique on that), and I felt it could have used a couple more tracks to flash out the project since there were rhymes on it too.



Overall

Production - Rod

audio quality/mix ()- Fruit

Rhymes I looked at it from two different perspectives, Rod was on touching on some spectrums of that Detroit shyt. Fruit was introspective in regards to the bay as well. Similar landscapes so I felt the rhymes hit equally for me also.

Really it came down to project cohesiveness and I thought Fruit put his together a bit tighter. I could tell Rod was a little rusty from the layoff. I can understand that after dropping
Chess Pieces 3, that project is still impressive

Good shyt fellas, a breh is sitting here taking notes

JRB @franknitty711 is on there too...on the intro I think I forgot to even tell him

not sure how I missed that

Uppin for the night crew

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Fruit took it. Overall better finished sound.

Rod had the better production, but it lacked direction and the mixing/vocals were below average.

Thanks for listening Shuttleworth we rusty but I REALLY wanted to get my feet wet again and see how the pen was working
BTW the direction is this
"The year is 2020
Chaos, Anarchy and disease has taken over the world
The council of Rod has come to the decision that for our survival
King Rod must be put to sleep and Big Rod must once again become the dominate personality
Judgement is futile"

Since 2006 all my projects have been labeled as King Rod whom is considered the "Boss" of all Raise the Bar endeavors. Big Rod goes back to 1998 and was a TOTALLY different animal and much less politically correct in ALL endeavors
It's a Gemini thing

 

[bigrodthe1]

@FruitOfTheVale I want a rematch
