Review: Tate and I sat down to review this album. Here's what we said about it.
Big Beast: (j) Hard hitting, Powerful. (t) Bun b was too calm on his verse. (t) Good
El-P production. I love the cartoonish synths, what I've heard they continue throughout the album.
Untitled: (Tate) Not a good hook (j) Sounds like a foreign instrumental, amazing lyrics (t) lacks something. (j) Ear shredding intro (t) Bad intro to the hook, pretty good lyrics though.
Go!: (j) Questionable production. (j) Stellar rapping. (j) Stellar flow. (t) Good rapping.
Did Eminem get the idea for rap god from this? (j) Yeah I agree!
Southern Fried: (j) Way too awkward (j) Good production. (t) Bad hook (j) What no I liked the hook. It's good to sing along with. (t) Boring. messy flow. The ending sucked.
Jojo's Chillin: (t) Not that good (j) it's not that bad, good flow. (t) Bad hook. Is the flow edited flow? (j) That's not really a bad thing in my opinion. (t) Weak production. (j) It's ok. I like the story. (t) I don't mind it.
Reagan: (j) Nice intro. (t) it's clearly anti-Reagan (j) first verse was amazing (t) I agree (j) Sick production. Reminds me of Leftield. (t) Yes. (t) That was powerful. Very good production. overall great track. (j) Amazing story.
Don't Die: (j) Nice introduction. It's like video game sounds. (t) Get it? Don't die. Video games. (j) Oh yeah. I really like the instrumental. (j) Deep. I like the way it changes. (t) It's playing off itself. I like that John Connor line. (j) I don't get it. (t) John Connor? Terminator? (j) Oh I get it now.
Ghetto Gospel: (J) I like the production. (t) I'm gonna agree with The Needle Drop and say the hooks not that good. (j) I didn't mind it. (t) Interesting story (j) Yeah.
(t) The hook doesn't work for me. (j) I like the choir sample at the end of the verses.
Butane (Champion's Anthem): (j) The intro is awful. (t) Ha, what was that? (j) Oh god, It's his ad-lib, He does it after every verse. (j) I love the production. (j) I don't like the hook. (t) Meh, It's ok. (j) The lyrics are good. (t) It sounds like it should be in the Mafia III soundtrack.
(j) El-P has a good verse on the track. (t) Yeah. (j) the hook has some really lack lustre lyrics.
(j) The good tracks over weigh the bad tracks on this album. (t) Like "Reagan".
Anywhere But Here: (j) The instrumentals sick. (t) I can't agree more. I don't like the deep tone in the first verse. (j) The singer doesn't fit at all. (t) yeah. (j) A bit too relaxed?
(t) Yeah, he's not really enjoying it. (t) This could have been a great song without the singer on the hook. (j) True.
Wilkie Burke Sherwood: (t) Terrible intro. (j) I like the production. (t) Feels like a jigsaw puzzle being put into the wrong places. Just doesn't work. (j) It's ok. I don't like the start of the second verse. The lyrics are good though. (t) Intresting story. (j) It makes me feel for him. However it doesn't really work.
R.A.P. Music: (j) The intro is deep man. (j) I like the hook. (t) I like this song but I can't explain why. (j) Good story. (t) I like this. (j) Yeah. I do too.
(t) 8/10 For me. (j) Same here
Rating: 8/10
