Big Ghost Chronicles & The Needle Drop Present... The Indicud Review

 

Ayo whattup you now in the presence of the mighty Hands Of Zeus aka the grand imperial Cocaine Biceps or the magnificent Galaxy Knuckles etc etc... Truth be told I wasnt gon review this shit cuz I wasnt really feelin the last couple Cudder joints namsayin..so I aint wanna bother listenin to this shit even. But my man Anthony Fantano from The Needle Drop reached out to the god n asked if I was down to do a review wit him for this joint nahmean...so I figured aight... Now normally I aint really do no shit like that  but I figured.. y'kno...that might be a nice twist to the usual format n what have you. This way you gettin two opinions instead of one n we buildin off one another n pointin out the shit that the other mighta missed like Ebert (RIP big homie) n Roper so it aint like whatever whatever namsayin... Plus homie get that YouTube love n he a respected individual n such... I figured if Imma REALLY be gettin that Pulitzer prize in the next 5 years the only way that shit gon happen is if I got the respect of my peers n shit. So me n son kicked it over G-chat n politick'd over this shit n whatever. Now the way this shit is bein presented to yalls is like some unbiased shit. So to keep that extra real I aint gon tell yall who was sayin what til the end...that way what you gettin is jus straight opinions n you aint gon be like AYO WORD I AGREE WIT THAT jus based off the fact you happen to fuck wit Thor Molecules or wit my dude Anthony nahmean. Keepin the shit confidential is gon make it so you forced to think for yaself namsayin. All yall need to kno is that one of us is Y n one of us is Z. Straight like that. It jus makes the whole thing more interesting b. Word is bond...aight lets get into this shit.

   Y: Whattup fam how you wanna start this? Imma jus play the track actually. This shit is called The Resurrection Of Scott Mescudi Y: Kinda dramatic for the name of a song if you ask me. How you feel bout it bruh?Z: It's a pretty epic intro. It's got some Terminator 2 vibes to it, I think.

The damn cover is an explosion, isn't it?Y: Word. Dope cover.

  At first I thought Cudi was going Last Action Hero on this thing...

The beat almost reminds me of Nine Inch Nails, too.

  Do you think it's too much, or does it set the mood, right?

Y: If you got the time/patience to listen to 45 seconds of slow motion robot orgasms before some shit finally happens Im happy for you... but that shit got on my nerves quickfast...at least til the beat kicked in yo. But I aint mad at it. I definitely need to edit the first 45 seconds off that muthafucka tho. 

 Z: What about the Good Son Quote right at the start of the next track? Y: Is that what that shit is from? Yo you really did ya homework son.

  Z: It's like Cudi's making a movie here.

  Do you fuck with Unfuckwittable? Or is it seriously unfuckwittable?

Y: I aint gon front on the movie snippet but the way son is rappin on this shit it sounds like he got hit witta tranquilizer dart or like he a 45 rpm record spinnin at 33-1/3.. feel me?  The beat is wild annoying too yo.

 Z: I think the beat is OK. It's pretty basic.But the synths got a dark vibe.

  What I can't stand is Cudi's singing.

  The dude's got passion, but sometimes he's about as tone deaf as an American Idol tryout.

 Especially when he's calling out like, "Woahhhhhohhhh!"

 Y: Word. Son can come up witta catchy hook here n there... This aint one of those hooks tho.

 Z: It's true. A lotta these beats don't even change up when he slides into the hook. The hook sounds pretty much the same as the chorus.

 Y: This shit is actually a mess yo. If I heard this shit at a club Id throw a chair at the DJ bruh  

 Z: What about Just What I Am? Would you huck anything at the DJ on that one?

 The flow's a bit poppier, but....

 That huge voice on the hook sounds like he grabbed the robot for "Intergalactic" to do a cameo.

  But it's another ultra simple beat with some bare synths.

  I'm not sure if Cudi's guitar leads add much of anything to the recipe. Dude sounds like he's just learning to play guitar.

 Y: Im kinda feelin this one. Reminds me of that Man On The Moon shit. The beat is cool. King Chip floatin on this one too yo...

Y: Shit is mad simple but at least it aint trash like the last one.

 Z: Yeah, it's a better take on the same formula.

 Y: Word. I quasi-fucks wit it too. 

 Z: Young Lady is kind of a change of pace, though. It makes Cudi the first rapper I've ever heard sample Father John Misty. Dude used to play in this folk outfit named Fleet Foxes. The song comes from an album he put out last year titled Fear Fun. Y: I see...I aint kno who Father John Misty was but that shit sounds mad emotional n delicate... I cant realy appreciate no dude wit the word ‘misty’ in his name in the first place namsayin. But yeah I heard of his band. Not really my kinda shit but I wouldnt do nothin violent to nobody over the music they make. But he takin Jesus' name in vain on some blasphemous shit bruh. I aint really wit all that but this shit aight...its aight... Reminds me of that shit the Roots did wit Cody Chestnutt...The Seed.

 Z: Not exactly sure if he grabbed the most interesting part of the song, tho: "JEEEEEEEEEEEESUS CHRIST GIRRRRRRRL!" I guess Cudi is trying to link his lyrics to Father John's, but sitting in the middle of these beats can kinda be like watching paint dry.

 The sample brings a different vibe, but Cudi isn't exactly displaying himself to be a versatile producer so far--even with the sweet background vocals. That guitar part over the bridge is, uh, pretty limp. It's like listening to kids practice Nirvana songs at a guitar shop.

 

 Y: Shit DO gotta amateur vibe to it yo...you right.

 Z: What do you think about the song subject?

  It's kinda like he's secretly creepin' on this girl from afar. I guess he's just kinda muttering all of this stuff to himself about this girl.

 Y: I had no idea thats what this shit was bout... Personally I dont condone NONE of that fam...I dont condone stalking broads or creepin or standin in the bushes outside they windows or none of that yo.

 Z: He says he's digging on this stuff about this girl, but he's just gonna admire from afar.

 Doesn't say a lot about why, tho. Y: Creepy bruh... 

  Z: What about the next track, King Wizard? Cudi pretty much says "fuck you" to everybody who ain't a fan right at the start.

 Y: This shit got such a dope song title....but the music is some new wave minimal soundin 80s type shit... like Depeche Mode minus catchy melodies n shit. I cant all the way fuck wit it fam. Aw damn...n it got robotic voices forreal on this shit too. This is like some shit for niggas who rock hemp pullovers n snug jeans.

  I dont gotta white iphone son. I cant really appreciate this shit.

 Z: It's kinda like all of Cudi's least likeable elements with weaker production.

  You've got his monotone choruses that have no passion.

That weird, sticky, robotic flow right at the start of the song that's got no guts to it.  

 Y: This next track Immortal gotta snippet from Billy Madison at the start jus fyi.

 Z: I know. That came outta NOWHERE!

Y: It makes sense. I aint mad at it.

 Z: Ha! I guess.

  The premise of the song is just as ridiculous as most Adam Sandler movies.

 Y: He struggle singin on this one again tho.

 Z: It's true, but the song does have one of the better beats.

Y: Speakin of Adam Sandler... I fucked wit that Happy Gilmore joint. That shit was thoro.

Z: This song is about super powers, though. Is there a Sandler movie that's got super powers in it?

 Y: Zohan?

 Z: Close enough.

 Sandler and singing aside, I do think this track has one of the better beats.

  Still, those guitar leads are just lazy. Dude sounds like he just started playing, again.

I think that's another Good Son quote at the end, too: "Don't fuck with me." Y: I never saw the Good son. I aint learn to appreciate Elijah Wood until Lord of The Rings  personally. Even then I was like yo chill wit all that effeminate shit homie... Like when him n Merry n Pippin was rollin around all on each other in the bed it was like SON!

  Then Samwise was all peakin from round the corner touchin his joint n shit...it was like NAH B

  Z: Some of the sampling on this album is just sloppy.

It's like Cudi doesn't care if the beats sound good. Nobody's gonna put out an instrumental version of this album...

Y: True. But I aint really mad at this joint. 

 Z: Dude, the next track Solo Dolo pt II has got Kendrick!

Y: Word. Kendrick the future. I been told muthafuckas that. The beat sounds like some shit a hipster nigga concocted in his loft while takin wheat grass shots tho.

  How you feel bout it?

Z: Again, Cudi wants to use samples, but he chops and executes 'em sloppy.

  If the butcher at your grocery store chopped your steak like that, you wouldn't come back.

 

 

 Y: I aint kno he was producin this shit. But if thats the case dawg needs to go back to GOOD Music n get Kanye n his army of co-producers to supply him wit some heat Z: I agree! But he wanted to do the whole project by himself, I guess. It's like Cudi had something to prove.Y: Son should stop tryin to prove that.

Z: Cuz the production on his previous two albums is clearly flashier, more detailed.

  Even he has to hear that.

 Y: Yeah this sounds likea child made it on garageband on his first try

Z: What do you think of his lines on this track?

  "Pussy motherfuckers get the Will Smith smack."

Y: Yeah... I aint wit all that tough talk from a dude who said if he "had one wish" he "would wish for more wishes"...but I kno Scott been known to throw em bows n punch niggas in the audience at his shows too so Im not sayin dawg cant shoot the fair one... But he also sings bout turnin into a butterfly n shit like that. So naw...

Z: Kendrick's verse is sick, tho. They put a weird effect in his voice that makes him sound pretty insane.

 Y: Kendrick is like the Kobe of this rap shit...not ey'body loves him but he a clutch player n he can get the job done. Z: I agree that Kendrick picks the song up--and the album, really--but the next track is my least favorite on the album, I think.

     Girls

  Z: Not only is the hook the worst hook on the whole album, but the dude is musing on girls like ice cream flavors at Baskin Robbins.

 "I see pretty girls everywhere I go."

 "Every-every-where I go."

 Y: Yeah its so much synth on this shit...He rappin like a stalker on this shit too. Like he that college dude lookin for his next underage date rape victim at a high school house party n shit.

 Z: Too Short comes in and makes the song even goofier, too.

  Cudi sees a lotta pretty girls, but he ain't talking to a lot of 'em.

 He's just looking at colors and sizes.

 Y: Too $hort gettin too old for that shit b. Son is damn near in his 50s bruh

 Z: That's true.

 Y: Im sayin that as a day one Too $hort fan... but dawg needs to slow that shit right the fuck down. 

Y: This New York City Rage Fest track sounds like some Feist shit bro. Im only like 30 secs in tho.

 Z: The only thing I like about it is that it's short.

  Just kind of an interlude, synth piece.

  Lotta synths, but nothing interesting about how they come together.

Y: True

 Z: Cudi's production continues to leave me hanging.

 Y: Yeah I aint exactly a fan of this corny production at all yo. 

 Z: Red Eye is another change of pace, but I dunno if it's that good. It's got guest vocals from Haim, which is this female pop trio that have some good tracks out.

  I dunno if Cudi utilized them well, tho. I mean, it's good to hear some good singing voices, I guess. Y: Word. Even tho they the ones singin he still Timbo'd that shit n inserted his vocals in the background.

Z: But the song is repetitive like many other tracks on here. The production doesn't change up on the hooks that much, and the lyrics leave a lot to be desired.

  I get a lotta visions, understanding, running, heads, craziness, minds, insanity, but none of it is memorable.

 It's like a lyric salad of a half dozen different ideas.

 Y: The words sound like they makin em up as they go...which is only impressive if they all made em up n knew what the others was thinkin without sayin anything out loud like they jus communicated the shit telepathically n shit.

 Z: The more we go through this album, the more the beats remind me of, like, a Phil Collins remix.

 Y: I hear that.... The more that Red Eye shit plays the more I think Id rather dip my balls in hot chinese tea than listen to it again.  

 Z: I dunno, I think I like the next track even less, Mad Solar.

 The beats on this thing get worse and worse. What is that synth doing?

  It's so ear-piercing.

  It's like a bad sci-fi movie.

 Y: This shit gay as hell bro.

 Z: Cudi's flow sounds like he's just moaning on some parts.

  It sounds like he's not even trying, honestly.

I'm not even sure what this song brings to the album as a whole.

 Y: Word. This sounds like a collection of throwaways n mistakes n shit

  This shit in particular was jus straight ass my dude.

 Z: I agree. Damn.

  Cudi could have used some auto-tune on this, honestly.

Y: Chill son.    Y: But listen to Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah flexin some new styles on this Beez joint.

  I might actually be fuckin wit this...

 Z: Yeah, it's true. RZA does come through with some solid lyrics on this track.

 Y: Its been confirmed...I AM indeed fuckin wit this shit.

 Z: "I don’t write songs, grasshopper, I write sceneries."

 Y: The little Bushwick Bill sample from Mind playin Tricks On Me was a nice touch too.

 Z: It fits the vibe that RZA brings, but I can't say I'm in love with the beat. Y: I aint in love wit the beat neither...It aint exactly Mass Appeal (shout outs to Preemo) but it was a nice break from the 80s synths n guitars

 Cudder only doin the hook on this? Thats dope.

 Z: Yeah, pretty much just doing the hook.

  Which, sadly, makes it one of the better tracks.Y: Its like a nice break tho.

 

 Z: It was, but the song's still got me worried.

 RZA's a legend, but this is easily one of the best tracks on the album so far.

  And Cudi didn't even spit a verse on it.

   Y: Word. But the same thing is happenin on this Brothers shit. Its not as dope but still...

 Z: It's true.

  King Chip sounds better on this second track he's appeared on, tho.

 Y: Its gettin to the point where Im hopin he only doin hooks on all the songs left

 Z: Again, we got more UFO synths flyin' in all over the place.

 Y: True that. I aint wit all that crazy space shit neither (shout outs to Outkast tho)

 Z: Even A$AP Rocky's got a more confident flow than Cudi at this point.

 Y: Yeah Cudder got washed on that.

 Z: The verse beat would work fine if it changed up on the chorus, but it doesn't. The beat is just excruciatingly repetitive. Cudi's all tension and no release.

  Cudi's flow toward the end of the track doesn't sound bad, tho.

  At least he steps it up to match A$AP and Chip.

 Y: Word.

   Y: How you feel bout this Burn Baby Burn shit?

  Z: You know, you were saying earlier that you feel like "Mad Solar" was some kinda throwaway or b-side, but I actually feel that way about this track and the next two.

  They're really short, too.

 It's like Cudi didn't wanna stretch 'em out past three minutes or nothin'.

  It's just more of that monotone flow and a repetitive synth beat. I don't see what he's adding to the album at this point.

Y: This jus sounds like a whole anthology of throwaways n b-sides to me yo...

 They still got b-sides? I kno rappers stopped all that when ringtones n itunes took over the game...

 Z: That's a good question when you point it at the album.

 If these are the tracks that made the album, what do the extras sound like?

Y: Word. But yo summa my favorite joints ever was b-sides tho...Rebel Without A Pause, Erotic City...you fucks wit Oasis? Them muthafuckas had b-sides for days bruh. Lyrically they was wild retarded n half they songs is plagiarized like a muthafucka but they had some good shit at the end of the day.

Z: I agree. There are still b-sides collections out there, but I doubt there will be a collection based around Indicud, Ugh!  

   Z: I think Lord of the Sad and Lonely could have been a decent song idea.

  But it feels effortless like a lot of other tracks here.

  Y: Lord Of Sad And Lonely is probably the corniest most simped out song title I ever heard of in my whole life yo. I cant believe he had the nerve to share that publicly like YEAH DONT MIND ME IM JUS THE LORD OF SAD N LONELY...IM CHILLIN THO. IM THE LORD OF THIS SAD N LONELY SHIT YO. CALL ME THE LONELINESS GAWD

Z: You know Cudi.

  He's always been sad and lonely.

  This ain't the first tear he's shed.

  I actually think this is his least tear-stained album.Y: You right homie.

 Z: Maybe that's a positive.  

 Y: This Cold Blooded cut is probably one of the better joints to me...beat-wise. And the way he spittin on this its like he spent the whole album jus wakin up n now he ready to get up outta bed finally.

 Z: That's true.

 Y: It aint like its perfect or nothin but he definitely came to life on it.

 Z: It's like this is the album, and the previous 15 tracks were just a really long, nightmarish prelude.

  It was just a hellish intro.

 Y: Thats accurate as fuckZ: Even the singing isn't bad.

  Y: Naw its like forreal the first shit where theres no guest carryin the song n he jus held it down.

Z: I agree!  

 Y: Or maybe we jus desperate to like some shit on this album already...but hol up...

 SON...does that say "featuring Michael Bolton" on this Afterwards (
Bring Yo Friends) track or am I buggin?

 Z: It's true

  It's 9 minutes, too.

 It sounds more like a sample the longer the track goes on, tho.

  You thought the previous tracks were repetitive, get ready for this... Y: WOW. The only thing that would shock me more is if that said "featuring Bette Midler" or "featuring Tyga's purpose in living"

Z: Dude, this beat sounds like a leftover from the Lion King soundtrack.

 

 Y: Word. Like that shit at the end where they dancin n singin cuz Scar finally got murked n shit

 Z: The song pretty much becomes a dance remix of itself around the middle,

featuring a Halloween-style synth.

Y: This shit is ASS.

 Z: I don't know whether or not I'm gonna get slashed by Jason or go up in a spaceship. Y: I dont kno whether to punch holes in a tree or dropkick some elderly people...

  This shit got me vexed

  Z: Cudi was seriously on some Stanley Kubrick, Michael Myers stuff on this one.

  Michael Bolton just happened to be around.Y: Word

Z: "Girl show you how to do this dance."Y:  Terrible...

  Z: Man, OK. It's not a sample.

 Bolton is improvising over this instrumental. He's there. This is real. Y: Yo this shit is like physical torture to sit thru either way.

Z: All I can do is wonder how Bolton and Cudi conversed in the studio while they were making this track.

  I imagine it had to be a lot like the studio scene in Boogie Nights.

Y: This shit sounds like a cover version of the extended remix of the worst song left off of Justin Timberlake's 20/20 experience as performed by the losers of a Eastern European talent contest n shit fam.

 Z: How is this song nine minutes and "Cold Blooded" is only 2:32?

  Y: True like he got in the zone over the wrong song n shit...

  I wanna stab ey'body involved in the makin of that muthafucka

Z: Well, at least it's over.

  I guess the last track is just a spacey interlude.

  Like the first track.

  I guess it's fitting that it stops like it started...

 Y: Aint nobody got time for that yo.

 Z: At this point, yeah.  

 Big Ghost: How you feel bout this shit overall

How many Fantano thumbs you give this outta 5?

 Anthony: Seriously, this is one of the worst albums I've heard all year. Not even lying.

  I'm gonna give it a 1 out of 5

or a "Decent 2" in The Needle Drop terminology.

 Big Ghost: Son. I almost paid money for this shit. I might gotta take Beez n Cold Blooded n windmill dunk the rest of this illegal download in the recycle bin forreal 

  Imma be generous n give this shit 1.5 slaps tho...  

 Anthony: That is generous.

 Big Ghost: Im a generous dude

 Anthony: Amen.

Big Ghost: Word. So I appreciated choppin it up wit you bro.We might gotta do this shit again soon.

 Anthony: That'd be great. Big Ghost: Aight Peace 

Okayplayer presents The Big Ghost review for Wolf

 

Ayo whattup you back in the presence of that muthafucka wit two iron midgets for hands. In case you forgot I go by the name Big Ghost aka Phantom Raviolis aka Shampoo Bracelets aka Cocaine Biceps aka Thor Molecules aka Galaxy Knuckles aka Spartacus Deluxe...n otherwise known as THE MIGHTY HANDS OF ZEUS. So Im back in the building to walk wit yall thru this new Wolf joint....Courtesy of Tyler The Creator aka the slightly less annoying Hopsin....

 Now that yall got you a little tantalizer go check the rest of that good shit RIGHT THE FUCK OVER HERE

Word is bond it took a lot for the god to have a open mind bout this shit. But thats why we constantly evolvin. Ion mean like that shit where muthafuckas use to be tadpoles n crawled up outta the ocean n became lizards who became monkeys that became gorillas n then cavemen n next we gon start sproutin wings n all that other mystery science bullshit. Im talkin facts b. Im sayin we all started out as blank canvases n then we added some little scribbles here n a scribble there n pretty soon we either been painted masterpieces outta our lives or we got some bullshit ass mess that be lookin like some shit a 3 yr old drew on the wall behind the couch in crayolas mixed wit dry play-doh n whatever whatever. Like I be sayin...even if you dont fuck wit somethin it dont mean you cant respect it. The real gon recognize regardless cuz at the end of the day thats whats missin from the world nahmean...honesty n shit. You might be the small fish in a big pond but when you refuse to compromise the integrity of ya words n ya actions you gon win regardless. Might take you little longer but you gon have a stronger foundation to build upon n shit namsayin. When you dickride ya way to the top you gotta slide back down all em same dicks on ya way down tho. That aint the move my nigga. Therefore say no more...

Aight peace.

 

 

Okayplayer presents the Big Ghost review for IANAHB2

Ayo whattup...yall already kno what it is namsayin... The Hands of Zeus aka Thor Molecules aka Galaxy Knuckles aka the overlord of this blog shit Big Ghost is back one time for all yall loyal customers n good people all over the world who be readin my shit... The god is humbled n honored to be in yalls presence as well. But yo...theres matters that need to be addressed son. Looks like The Recycle Bin Gawd back witta nother weed plate for yall. I cant lie yo...I wanted to ignore the existence of this shit completely nahmean. I wont say I miss the old Wayne tho cuz truthfully the new Wayne makin it hard for niggas to respect the old Wayne since they obviously share the same DNA n all that. But bein that this what muthafuckas is gon be listenin too regardless...the god felt it was only right that he speak on it. Unfortunately tho.. that meant the god had to listen to it too. So thats why you seein this shit up on ya screen n all that. But yo thats neither here nor there nahmean. I aint thinkin bout all that small shit Im thinkin bout the masses yo. Im thinkin bout the bigger picture namsayin. I dont jus be lookin at the chess board n thinkin yo that horse right there bout to stampede up in my cipher n knock down one my castles n shit namsayin. I be thinkin bout how we gotta use our perceptions to visualize the outcome of the whole game n shit b...the big picture. Like we aint gon get blindsided jus cuz we focused on protectin the front gate n meanwhile niggas done threw up ladders n climbed the back wall n they already in the city takin the gold n smashin our wives n shit nahmean. We lookin like some ducks sittin a barrel n shit. Niggas is plunderin the gold in the game n we like NAH NAH WE GOTTA MAINTAIN THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE N PROTECT THE FRONT GATES while niggas hoppin over the walls n already livin lavish off the strength of  the hard work n the foundation of muthafuckas who came before em. You cant jus let niggas walk up in some shit thats already built n start claimin shit for theyselves like THIS SHIT MINES....I RUN HIP HOP....I AM MUSIC...fuckouttahere b. How you gon come up in a house that was built by ya forefathers n hang a plant in the corner n be like YO I DONE DID MY PART THIS SHIT MINES NOW. Nah fuck all that shit son. You aint even remove yall shoes when you came thru the door. Yall disrespectful. You can have the little niggas wit the garbage cans for ears who like yall shit but I aint payin no attention to yall mediocre ass music like that. Yall can win Grammys n run Billboard charts n all that but at the end of day Kool G Rap aint had one gold or platinum record in his life b...but he influenced Big Pun, Nas n Biggie namsayin.... Son had Jay-Z compare hisself to him in his prime. Thats respect. Thats love. At the end of the day thats what its all bout. I mean...I kno love n respect dont pay the bills but shit can give you other things like longevity n opportunities they aint gon offer to some fly by night wack niggas (s/o to Tyga) who aint gon matter in 2 years (peace out Yung Berg) that rely on gimmicks n shit to get over (whattup Hopsin). Thats the niggas whose only here for they quick buck n then they out. They the ones drivin cabs tellin muthafuckas bout they heyday n shit...when they was somebody. Its all bout perception tho. Sometimes a tree is a tree n sometimes a tree is jussa big ass plant namsayin. But thats neither here nor there nahmean. So will the Guitar Hero aficionado/professional amateur skateboarder be able to live up to the low ass expectations niggas got for his shit these days or is he gon sink even lower into that abyss of recycled beats n J Cole-esque coma bars we done come to expect from his ratchet ass? 

Peep the review n all that good shit RIGHT HERE

Big Ghost presents the Wrath Of Caine review

Ayo..whattup yo...Yall kno what it is...I aint gon waste no time on introductions n shit nahmean. Yall now in the midst of one of the most dangerous minds that done ever set foot on the face of the internets namsayin... wit two iron midgets for hands. You might kno him as the magnificent Phantom Raviolis or the illustrious Galaxy Knuckles or the grand imperial Hands of Zeus etc etc....the legendary n humble Thor Molecules is now in the building. I been gave the world wisdom bullets...But thats neither here nor there cuz I aint owe nobody shit. I humbly thank yall for the love tho. But yo...we need to talk bout a couple things. I need to catch up on some shit right here. Yo I should mention that I had this shit sittin on my velvet laptop for like a month along wit some other unrealeased joints. I wasnt gon drop it due to "schedulin conflicts" n the fact the shit was wild late...but I figured yall might wanna peep it anyways. Niggas got hot over that JT review actin like I deviated from my lane n shit. So Imma give it to yall raw n uncut...

1. Intro - A dope intro is kinda necessary when it comes to these rap albums n mixtapes b. Its what sets the mood n shit. Ion mean like the little skits or the 30 second snippets of niggas talkin dumb shit at the beginning of some joints...I mean like the shit where a muthafucka at least spits some bars. My favorite shits is the Got It For Cheap intro on Hell Hath No Fury n the Dynasty intro...

Yo cant nobody say that Hov aint blacked the fuck out on that shit b. And that Clipse joint speak for itself. Thats my two favorites right there yo. But of course...not all intros is monumental as those...n this shit aint exactly of that particular caliber neither but thats like sayin that a silverback ape not really fuckin witta great white shark namsayin. Like if you take a silverback ape n throw him in the ocean theres a good chance that the ape gon drown anyways b. I mean I aint no zoologist or nothin but I aint never seen a gorilla take a dip in a river or a pond n be doin no breast strokes in that muthafucka...never mind the oceans n shit. Theres a good chance that the ape would sink to the bottom of the sea before the shark could eem fight that nigga. Also...what a lot of muthafuckas dont kno is that sharks got thousands of teeth nahmean. I dont mean that like if I say YO I WANNA STAB THAT NIGGA TYGA IN THE KIDNEYS A THOUSAND TIMES WITTA RUSTY BUTTER KNIFE n shit but in reality I would only need to stab son 47 times to really do that shit. I mean like sharks got thousands n thousands of teeth forreal...literally yo. But at the same time if you took a great white shark n threw the muthafucka in the middle of the jungle in the Congo or whatever theres a good chance that he gettin his ass torn the fuck up by that ape. Word is bond that muthafucka dead b....like if it dont die from bein outta the water first namsayin. See the sharks got gills that they use to suck oxygen outta the water...its some complex shit so I aint gon get into all that but what Im sayin is we talmbout different species n shit anyways yo. Like this intro aint fuckin wit the two joints I mentioned but at the end of the day its still a panther...like at least. But word I love this shit yo. Mi nuh een care that he got that natty dread broad talkin all that shit at the start. Shit is FIYAAAA...

2. MILLIONS IN THE CEILING..MILLIONS MILLIONS IN THE CEILING...CHOPPAS CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET...CHOPPAS CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET... (feat. Rick Ross) - Son this shit goes so muthafuckin hard I aint even got no words for it. All I can say is if you play this shit in front of ya kids make sure you stick some cotton balls or toilet paper in they nostrils n in they ears cuz the best case scenario is theres bout to be some muthafuckin nosebleeds b. If you knockin this shit in the whip at high volumes wit ya kids in the back you might gon wanna check they pulse once in a while cuz this shit might could stop they breathin or give em some kinda aneurisms or whatever... Matter fact aint no muthafuckas thats under 4 ft tall or weighin less than 95 lbs thats bullt for this shit son. I aint tryin to be funny or none of that... this shit will kill ya seeds b. If you got small babies or pets you might gon wanna avoid playin this shit at all...it aint worth it yo. This shit hazardous b. This like mixin some pure uncut peruvian coke n rattlesnake blood in a juicer n injectin it directly into ya heart...half ya face gon be paralyzed permanently n shit. This hook gon have you buckin down elderly muthafuckas at bus stops for no reason n shit... Birds might gon fall from the sky while you bumpin it. Ion even kno what to say bout it... You could melt elephants wit this shit b. This shit is jus ridiculous on too many muthafuckin levels yo. This hook gon have you eatin the walls in ya crib. Ionno what to tell yall... William Leonard Roberts kinda did his thing too.

Yall niggas be rockin furs I rock the whole animal feel me?

3. Doesn't Matter (feat. French Montana) - Listen... First off this beat is so mean n vicious. Secondly of all...Pusha floated on this shit namsayin. Terrence straight glided n tap danced on this muthafucka. Son mighta caught the holy ghost on this one. So we got dope beat n some cold ass bars...should be flames then right? WRONG son...wrong. Never underestimate the power of wack shit b... Cuz that permanently drunk ass averagely talented muthafucka French Montana came wit that homeless nigga swag n dropped a bullshit ass hook on this shit son. Hook is all the way garbage yo. I fucks wit French tho...n his shit usually straight...regardless of the fact that son is actually a lyrical infant. I fucks wit all that Mac n Cheese n Coke Boyz shit. That shit is retarded fire. But son straight disrespected the track. Ion mean that in the good way tho nahmean...Im sayin son came wit some next level basura yo. Hook was so garbage it had me thinkin...man I woulda rather heard Swizz Beatz corny ass come in durin the hook to get his SIX MILLION WAYS TO BE TRASH...CHOOSE ONE on. I woulda rather heard Ashanti on this shit. I woulda been checkin for Shaq Diesel on this joint over this French hook b. Shit ended up bein lukewarm tho... But the bars was definitely cold. Hook still gets the Dikembe Mutombo finger wave tho. Crazy thing is French went in on the Everything That Glitters hook...

I ball hard, you bench ride / so fuck you n yo hairline...

4. Blocka - This shit aight... Sounds like a Cold Summer leftover tho. That aint really a good or bad thing...but I kno niggas was feelin this shit. I aint mad at it. I aint gon skip it or nothin but at the same time I dont think Imma be like YO LEMME HEAR BLOCKA...I WANNA HEAR BLOCKA...BLOCKA MY SHIT B... Shit is aight. I aint mad at it. Its basically orange namsayin. Like orange aint my favorite color...but Ion hate it. At the same time I fucks wit it here n there. I might rock some orange shirts n shit...but I aint gon be like coppin gear n be like YO YALL GOT THIS SHIT IN ORANGE? NO? FUCK IT THEN ION WANT THAT SHIT...Feel me? But yeah this shit aight.

5. Road Runner (feat. Troy Ave) - See that boy Troy Ave basically playin the same role on this shit that French played on Doesnt Matter wit the half sung hook n shit...only difference is theres substance to what he sayin n he dont sound like a 62 yr old homeless drunk nigga...even tho they both pronounce they consonants like toddlers. This Harry Fraud beat makes me wanna chef up some pies n contribute to the destruction of inner city communities n shit tho. I feel like I need to be tryin to get wit some bigger n better things namsayin.

6. Revolution - This sounds like a joint that aint make it onto the last Clipse album. Shit is mad unfinished...one verse, no hook...soundin like (No) Malice's verse got left off that cuz he aint wanna be associated wit negative shit no more bein that he decided to follow the path of the Most High n such. But as we kno...son also hates conscious rap so that puts son in a complicated position unless he plannin on takin the Black Eyed Peas n Flo Rida route. Word...Im gettin off topic tho... This shit is coo... Nothin special. Definitely some filler.

7. Only You Can Tell It feat. Wale - Funny thing bout Folarin is he might be one of the most stylistically versatile niggas in rap. How you gotta dude who recites haikus n limericks on the intros of his joints but still be able to spit... n at the same time be makin em songs for niggas who rock yoga pants n sip on room temp soy lattes at the gym while still makin em wild out joints for niggas who like to throw chairs at the club n pump crack in they own hoods n partake in genocide n whatever? Shit is mad ignorant. Push-a-Ton skatin on this track wit some ill wordplay n shit talk too. But these muthafuckas compliment each other well on this shit. I definitely definitely fucks wit it.

8. Trust You (feat. Kevin Gates) - Now this how you make a love song my nigga...

"Might jus trust you wit my drugs...might trust you wit my money..." That shit brought a tear to my eye that rolled down the inside of my cheek son (a real man sheds his tears beneath his face) the first time I heard it. This shit is like 'I Need Love 2013' yo...

9. Take My Life (feat. Andrea Martin) - SON...Jake One went IN on this muthafuckin track. Listen to that shit! This nigga Push bout to be top 5 in the game if he keeps gettin on joints like this b. This shit make me waan spit hot fiyaah son. Mek mi waan rinse mi gun innah batty bwoy bloodclaat fase! Wha yuh deal wid! Nah ere dis...if  a gun tings a Push-a-Ton run tings proppah. Since im wah a likkle yout im waan ave a proper ting...im waan seh wha im wan seh....im naht ere for na rasclat fuckry. SEH SUMPN....SEH BLOODCLAAT SUMPN! Tek di wah n leff di wah?! Mi waan gyaaaaaaaal!

From L-R Ab Liva, Pusha, Common, 2 Chainz, Kanye, Medium Sean

10. Liva Re-Up Gang Motivation - So this shits basically jussa Ab Liva solo joint...on a 11 song mixtape. Like Pun said when he was quotin Biggie...ya kno that aint riiiight. Aint like I got anything against son. I mean yeah the super intense Young Chris/Hov in '03 whisper flow thing is gettin kinda tired n son do kinda stay talmbout how overlooked his pen game is n his imaginary fleet of exotic whips on pretty much any joint he on but son really actually far from wack. Dawg only ever features on Clipse-related joints n pops up in the background of pics where Pusha posin wit his G.O.O.D. Music family the same way J.Cole pops up in the background of Hovi pics when he at industry functions Except son is like 7'5 n shit... But like I said no disrespect to son...I understand Livadon jus tryin to get his shine on. I wish the brother much success. Peace to Major Figgas too.

11. I Am Forgiven - Maaaaaan that muthafucka Bink! stays craftin some soulful shit yo. If you dont already kno...son was one of the main architects for Jiggaman's Blueprint sound. He mighta even got on that loud screams n heavy soul over some trash can bangin drums Just Blaze shit before Just Blaze did yo. Son be makin some shit that have the hairs on the back of ya neck standin. Kanye even hadda bring him back on that Devil In A Blue Dress joint...for a good reason too yo. That shit was so soulful b. Im sayin tho...this shit kinda emotional too yo.... Like this shit right here might gon have you cryin in the middle of ya living room in ya drawz holdin a bottle of 151 while takin pulls off multiple Newports simultaneously n havin imaginary conversations wit ya girl who bounced to her sisters crib like 2 fuckin days ago n still aint answerin her damn phone or buzzin you into the building n have you lookin like a straight goupie out in the cold screamin into the intercom n shit...jus cuz she found some panties that aint belong to her in ya jacket pocket n was straight refusin to accept "Damn...Ionno...the fuck!" as a explanation even tho you aint eem worn that particular jacket in like 2 years or whatever n yalls only been together off n on for like 23...maybe 26 months n shit so what that got to do wit ANYTHING?! HUH? HUH MA?! HOW THAT SHIT EEM MY FAULT HUH?! YO I BLAME ALL THIS SHIT ON YA SISTER...ITS HER GOTDAM FAULT! YOU KNO THAT BITCH ALWAYS IN YA EAR TALMBOUT YO THAT MUTHAFUCKA AINT SHIT N YOU CAN DO BETTER BLAH BLAH BLAH N WHY HE SO FLY N BE LOOKIN ALL GOOD N SMELLIN ALL ELEGANT N SHIT WHEN HE COME ROUND EVEN THO HE DONT BE TREATIN YOU GOOD...LOOKIN ALL FLY N SAYIN FLY SHIT BUT REGARDLESS HE AINT RIGHT GURL...YOU SHOULD LEAVE  HIS GOOD LOOKIN FLY ASS ETC ETC....YO THAT HOE GOT HER OWN PERSONAL ISSUES N A COMPLEX CUZ HER MAN BE SPENDIN HALF THE WEEK WIT HIS SIDE BITCH N TAKIN HER KIDS TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING FOR HER N SHIT N BUYIN THE LITTLE NIGGAS TOYS N NINTENDOS N WHATEVER WHATEVER...IM SAYIN ITS NO WONDER YA POPS LEFT YALL ITS CUZ HE WAS FORESEEIN ALL THIS SHIT CUZ YA MOMS IS WILD OVERWEIGHT TOO WIT HER BIG ASS HANDS LOOKIN LIKE SAUSAGE LINKS POKIN OUTTA A PITA POCKET N SHIT. SO I GUESS ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU START FILLIN OUT IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES N SHIT TOO. YO WHO THE FUCK NEEDS THAT SHIT!! But yo there you have it... Whether yalls fuck wit it or not is irrelevant cuz I got my opinions n mines is the only ones I trust. Ionno if Wrath Of Caine better than Fear Of God but it definitely aint worse. Feel me? If this like a sign of whats to come on the album then it looks like Push gon be deliverin another street classic yo.

Aight peace.
