i'm gonna come clean and say that i think yall are overrating this album
it's pretty amazing sonically but the rapping is kinda boring - a little too many liberties taken by quik i think. like, being funny & goofy and not caring so much about rhyming & flowing can be cool but i think there needs more verses a la "9xs outta 10" where the verses really make you go O_O in a technically skillful sense
― autogoon delight (J0rdan S.), Monday, 5 October 2009 04:30 (fourteen years ago) link
man idunno, name a verse you think is boring. the only song i dont basically love is "the appeal"

Raekwon mops the floor with it imo
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 5 October 2009 04:40 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, 9 times outta 10 is really on some next level shit and it's weird that no other track sounds anything like it. but when i'm listening to the album i can't really be bothered to think about that sorta thing cause it's just such a good time.
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 5 October 2009 04:42 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i like that raekwon some. thing is the production is wonderful and there are some crazy brilliant verses throughout, but raekwon as a rapper has not aged well imo. not like dude was the most charismatic guy to begin with, but he used to be graceful and sharp nowadays just sounds like he's shlepping himself around. quik and kurupt otoh are still virile as fuck.
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 5 October 2009 04:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I've still not heard the new Raekwon tape but I think the Mos Def comes close. Old rappers > New rappers :(
― I'M LEGALLY A MIDGET (a hoy hoy), Monday, 5 October 2009 08:18 (fourteen years ago) link
raekwon alb is totally by #s in comparison imho
― xhuxk mangione (deej), Monday, 5 October 2009 10:25 (fourteen years ago) link
i think rae has aged well, & i dont get what a hoy hoy is saying -- who is the 'new rapper' here? but rae's record is totally predictable in comparison to this
― xhuxk mangione (deej), Monday, 5 October 2009 10:26 (fourteen years ago) link
a little too many liberties taken by quik i think.
quik's rapping is dope thruout imo
― xhuxk mangione (deej), Monday, 5 October 2009 10:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I wasn't trying to start a crazy debate where you lecture everyone about Gucci. Just the three records I am going to love most this year will presumably be made by Raekwon, DJ Quik, Kurupt and Mos Def.

^^^pretty good comeback from yr zing if i do say so myself
anywayz man after getting pretty much entirely tired of talking about gucci it feels really great to come back to this LP ... i think one good thing abt feeling like gucci & related rappers are a 'center' around which the rest of the genre rotates is that records like this feel like they are kinda perfectly rated, neither under- nor clipse'd

well it's my local paper and main outlet and Matos is one of the non-local freelancers (although he's written for it much longer). Jess used to be our music editor!

Yes, this is one of those rare pop records--and even rarer indie-pop records--where the "girl" mentioned in the lyrics could as easily be a daughter as a girlfriend.
lol for most pop records this would be...a problem

Top five for me. I dunno why I took so long to come around. "The Appeal" floors me.
