Westside Gunn - Pray for Paris (Discussion Thread)

[calh45]

Benny & Conway of COURSE rap better.... WSG will tell you that ... but West just puts projects together so fukkin’ good. That’s the difference. These nikkas are special

I listened to the whole album by accident. Just flowed through it while cleaning the house and didn't realize it. It's a clean ass project.

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

Dope beats but I can't cosign it overall. Gunn is a weak rapper to me. Hearing Conway and Benny on a couple tracks makes this feel so maddening because they murdered their verses....I wanted to hear them on every track. Likewise Roc and Gibbs were dope. Wale was dope. Tyler too.

couldn’t agree more, after one listen I pretty much skips WSG’s verses.


Conway >> Benny >>>>>>WSG

 

[Suspicions]

Those are old Fahim beats?

He didn't produce them but allah sent me is kevlar coating by fahim and 327 is why you rappin like that by fahim. I think camo monk produced the second one so It makes sense

 

[Suspicions]

Link to the OG Fahim tracks?

Kevlar Coating and Why You Rappin Like That
My bad, too much work to link on mobile

 

[Suspicions]

West is spitting on this tape!!!!! What yall mean. Hes still not as nice as benny and conway but this nikka dope af

 

[scorpino]

This is gonna sound random but he, Evidence, and Rick Ross might be my top 3 ears.

can’t forget Fat Joe

You're onto something with Ross and I'm not even a fan. But WSG has a vision and I can no longer front on that. He will end up executive producing someone's album and it will be a classic

I think I heard him say he’s going to get into more of that after he stops rapping. I know he’s exec producing Boldy James’ next album.

Supposedly WSG has exec produced a lot of the Griselda releases. Not all of them but many of them.

Also a great ear.

as a production head I love when I never have to wonder or worry about someone picking dope beats or not. Some of the guys we’ve named can pick beats from not good producers and I still know it’ll be their better stuff

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Amazing project.

 

[newarkhiphop]

listen now

Joey

I was not expecting him to be on here but he's definitely improved a lot I can't wait for his next album

He did Reject 2 and Tana Talk 3 and those are obviously considered the Griselda holy grail along with his stuff

To me he’s always been fire but he def killed that

 

[Supa]

On first listen I think Hitler 7 was better. This is still good but 7 had stronger production. I like how Gunn doesn't discriminate with features and gets rappers who aren't street and let's them cook.
Disappointed in that Primo beat

Anybody thinking Gibbs bested Roc
