there's like 12 actual songs on there not 20, but it's okay I forgive yall for not having good taste every now and then. I like me some doom here and there and I expect yall to forgive me for that.
isn't it like 5 or 7 songs? I'd expect something that short to have no filler.
here are my impressions
Alright i'll check it out.

Pretty much agree with HiRes, but the digital version is like 3 bucks really. Didn't mind paying for that price.
Honestly i have not listening to CO nearly enough to form a solid opinion. but when I did listen I had the urge to skip tracks & FF because it was so monotonous and boring. Nostalgia Ultra is leagues better. more diverse production, its shorter and easier to listen to. most albums shouldn't go past 40 minutes imo, only use your absolute best stuff.
Which five are you cutting? Summer on Smash of course.
Outside of Lost, Pyramids, TBY, and Bad Religion, I can do without CO. Boring is a good word for it. I couldn't bring myself to buy it for three bucks, though Spotify is mostly to blame for that.

Big KRIT next month and Kendrick Lamar in September. Good year for me.
Haha Yes. They have some great albums.
I bought Skelethon after listening to Channel Orange a couple of times off of Frank's tumblr. I can do without it, although I love the last section of Pyramids.
I would have said Outkast but UGK are respectable. Definitely up there though! I could easily say they are the best representation of texas hip-hop.
Nice, SF show is mine. Will the rest of Black Hippy be supporting?
One can dream.

Screw them we don't need themI guess me,kam,tguy, and MThanded are the only ones who liked channel boring.

Oh, but y'all do.
Just listened to Nas and am currently listening to Aesop.
Nas wasn't bad. It's no illmatic obviously but that isn't a fair comparison.
Aesop Rock is pretty interesting so far. I could see someone not liking it because it's a bit experimental/abstract but if you're wanting something new in hip-hop it isn't a bad listen if you don't mind complex and abstract lyricism. Sort of similar to Doom lyrically but not necessarily as good.
The production in Aesop's album reminds me of something El-P would do. Impressive that he produced it himself. Pretty good underground/indie hip-hop.
I wouldn't compare the two albums together since they both have two different vibes.
I think it'd make more sense to compare Killer Mike and Nas' new album considering they are both hard core hip-hop albums.
Usually i'm biased towards Atlanta rappers but Nas' album might have possibly topped Killer Mike's for me.

Agreed. First three tracks grabbed my attention then tuned I out.
On another subject, Cartoon and Cereal has really grown on me. It's more subtle and I guess because of that not as good as most stuff on Section.80, but it's a great song.

Muthafucka what about me and Toku. He made the OT for the album.

its cool, different strokes and all that. im happy for frank though, guy is talented and deserves the sales and goodwill.
i'm not gonna lie i thought hopsin was pretty wack when he first came out - even though i did appreciate his skills - i just didn't like him. but just listened to ill mind 5 or w.e and it's pretty raw! hearing him talk shit about everything was dope, he put it all together nicely. that's some thought out shit, not slapped together verses and a beat.

I'd rather listen to any song off of the Carter 1 than anything Hopsin's ever made. That last video sounds like a D.A.R.E. PSA.
Man I miss my dawgs
Many nights club poppin'
Many nights we were blowing trees
Many nights we were hustlin'
Man I miss my dawgs
Me and you through thick and thin
Me and you through the very end
For only you I'll sin again
And here we goooo
I'd love to keep acting like I hate Life Is Good because the pouting and feet stomping from fans is so enjoyable, but fuck it heres a real breakdown
1. No Introduction: A solid if boring intro track. The kind of thing you enjoy the first time but never really enjoy again. 6/10
2. Loco-Motive: A reminder that Nas remembers illmatic, even if you young fucks don't. 10/10
3. A Queen's Story: Up until Nas starts rapping, this seems like it's going to be a giant skip. But once Nas comes in things start to come together. Production takes some time to really make sense to me but once it gets going, shit is hype. 8/10
4. Accident Murderers: Not as hype on this one as others, but it's definitely a solid track. 7/10
5. Daughters: After stupidly listening to HHgaf when this leaked, I didn't bother to listen to it. I'm kind of glad because it's fresh to me. Great track, Nas manages to be thoughtful without sounding corny. 9.5/10
6. Reach Out: Don't like MJB, don't like the overused piano loop, and the beat is boring... this is the low point of the album. 2/10
7. World's an addiction: A little over dramatic, between Hamilton getting all weepy angsty on the hook, production that sounds lifted from some "end of the world" documentary, and Nas getting a little corny with some of his lyrics, this one is a "listen once and don't hate but don't feel like listening again". 6/10
8. Summer on Smash: Swizz is great behind the boards, and dogshit behind a mic. That said, this is the "club single" and to me it works, especially after it gets going. I like the beat a lot. Swizz knocks off a few points though. 7/10
9. You wouldn't understand: Another track that sounds like awful dogshit until Nas gets going. Once he does the beat starts to find itself and it sets up a vibe I'm digging. By the end of the song I wanna hear it again. 8.5/10
10. Back When: Not the strongest track on the album by a longshot, but there is something enjoyable about it. 8/10
11. The Don: definitely a love it or hate it track. Beat is a mess, but somehow Nas pulls it together and makes it way more hype than it should be. 8/10
12. Stay: Audio nyquil, it's not a terrible song, it's just boring as fuck to me. 4/10
13. Cherry Wine: Was never an Amy Whinehouse fan, but this one comes together better than I thought it would. Nice production, Amy is tolerable. 8/10
14. Bye Baby: Unless you a basement dwelling virgin or a fucking sociopath, you should be able to relate to the emotions behind this song. And best of all, Nas never comes across as emo or salty or whiny. It's just a nice snapshot of how it feels after you've worked through those post breakup emotions. 9.5/10
15. Nasty: The shit that started the Nas Cycle, with good reason. 9.5/10
16. The black bond: If this wasn't 2 minutes long, I'd probably skip it. The production is interesting but it's the kind of thing I normally don't enjoy hearing repeatedly. 7/10
17. Roses: I really love the beat, the hook I'm not too sure about. Love some of the lines in this song too. 9/10
18. Where's the Love: Not a fan of cocaine80s, beat is above average but theres nothing significant about this track. 7/10
Without letting Reach Out and Stay ruin the overall score, I'd put it at an 8.5 or so
Illmatic>It was Written>Stillmatic>Life is Good>>>>all his other shit.

Agreed

I haven't even listened to LIG yet. My mood is just too fucked up right now.
