Mansin Humanity Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Listened twice so far. It's a little less in your face than RTJ2, which I'm fine with. Some of the production reminds me a lot of El's solo stuff, which I love. Definitely need to spend some more time with it, but early returns are great. The surprise guest on Kill Your Masters killed it, no pun intended. A Christmas Fucking Miracle, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Fucking great album. Extremely consistent, and every feature fits perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I don't love it but it's ok. Made me want more Zack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't but glad you said that, I'll be keeping an eye out. I remember for years it seemed like the talk was he had an album coming out then you just heard nothing else about it. Hopefully this one will come to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a damn shame the one he worked on with Trent is never gonna come out. He released one single for this one, so there's at least some progress already: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Listened to it some more and like it a lot better now. I'm with Zeppelin in that it's very consistent. Still don't love it but it's cool. You could do much worse as far as hip hop goes these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda wish there were a few higher highs, the whole things blends together a little bit. Still a really good album though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Too consistent, I get that and it's a good way to put it. That's a production problem. Killer Mike is his usual on point self though. Edited January 2, 2017 by J Dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
