I'm a bit old school regarding copping music ..

Physical copies FTW for sentimental value . . And mostly for rare Independent releases

Someone send me the download link please.

I've done my part supporting him I bought a ticket to go see him tour this album a month and a half before it came out.

Well we laugh at this, but being real, artists make more money from shows than record sales, so buying a tour ticket actually is a better way to support than buying an album.

There are actually two version of the album in case everyone didn't know. One is called the "Brown Tape" and the music is by Apollo Brown. A sampler for it is up now.

It's cool. I like Adrian's version better though.

I'm gonna get Adrian's version today. Is the Brown tape sampler any good? By that I mean is it soul beats?

This shit was real hit or miss. I mean such a basic concept in my opinion but no real standout tracks. Shit you can do this concept in one dope song. I mean it was like watching a average movie when you already know the plot and ending so you turn it off. Besides Deck the features were meh. Masta Killa, U god and Cap should never be allowed to touch a mic with their wack flow and monotone delivery.

some of the beats were dope but they really didn't work for me in the whip and to be rapped over. I think i'll enjoy the instrumental better. Half these beats sounded like some shit you would hear during a Quentin Tarantino movie.

2.5/5

Ouch lol. Damn. I'll have to check it out and see what's real.

 

[El Payaso]

thanks monk

I was wondering what the fuck the lol's were about.

I was feeling like wow is this what Lincoln felt like when Jefferson Davis lol'd his Gettysberg Address?

Probably

The bold was the whole point. It's supposed to sound like that.

yea i know shit might work for well in a movie but not with ghostface rapping over them....props for trying the concept it just was executed poorly in my opinion

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Fair enough. I thought it all meshed together well, but I always saw the album as something that might not appeal to everyone.

 

[Kwan Dai]

Yo, that was listening experience. This joint is all the way live.

 

[vageneral08]

So they killed tony starks and ghostface killah came from the dead?
