I don't really have a problem with the all black inserts, but why the hell did he feel he need to have a damn booklet full of blank black pages, lol! One would have been enough.

"IDE & Alucard - Uncovered Remains (ships 10/2)"

Pre-ordered this a couple weeks ago...can't wait for this shit to arrive.

And that Stu Bangas sucked to me. 17 tracks and it's only forty something minutes long? wtf. I'm also not a big fan of Stu's beats. Apathy kills all his guest spots tho.

Not all that familiar with his beats. I liked the Blaq Poet album they did, and liked the list of guests they have so I figured I'd peep it. I think at worst (for me), it will be on par with that Premo & Bumpy Knuckles album...decent and worthy of a spin once in a great while.

nah, to me it sounded bland. Beats were dull, sounded like a typical underground album...nothing really stood out.

Tran likes those Beethoven beats that will put you to sleep.

Let me know what you think about the whole album. I was high on the first few tracks myself but then I thought it got weak in the second half. Still overall a pretty cool album. My favs were Playground Legend and Fuck Ya Mother w/ Sean Price.

I thought it was another mediocre DZA effort on the same level as last year's "Rolling Stoned". Turnbuckle Music is the best jam from the album if you ask me.

I'd agree with that Halfy. Both were pretty disappointing to me after Substance Abuse and George Kush, the latter being personal classic. I know most people wouldn't agree but that album has no flaws to me. Weed raps at their best.

The Stu Bangas was pretty good. The Esoteric song is my favorite, though not necessarily my favorite beat. I agree that it was on the short side. I enjoyed it though.

IDE & Alucard is on tap for tomorrow.

Damn Wayne you have been busy. Hip Hop lives at your house! Props.
