Yeah I know this came out earlier this year, but I just heard this and I think it needs some attention. I think the physical copies of this were limited to 500, but I think you can get this album on Amazon MP3 and iTunes, if not other places. This is an energetic and fun hip hop album. It doesn't have a central concept behind it, it's just Esoteric and some friends putting on impressive displays of mic skills over hard-hitting beats. This isn't an experimental album or an album that brings anything new to the table, but it just sounds great from beginning to end. This isn't quite as good as 1212 but it's almost there for me. I'm going with 4 stars based off of one spin, I'll definitely re-visit it soon.
Esoteric likes dogs, cool.

Co-sign. I hate that it's a CD-R. Felt kinda cheated.

There's nothing really eMo on or about Boston Pharoah. It's more along the lines of 1212. Lots of punchlines and sports references like "You wanna see Billboard. Check Belichick post game" or "your rap career is like Bill Conti, Starting off Rocky"
I would tell you to give it a shot, but it would be a waste of time. We both know how you are, lol! Just continue to neglect the apples because the oranges taste like crap.
