Lil Wayne - IANAHB 2
I was very pleasantly surprised by this album. While I am not a Wayne hater, I still always have low expectations for his albums. They always fall short of his mixtapes. This album is nothing new, but for some reason, Wayne sounds like he had a lot of fun making this album and it translates into a fun listen, IMO. There is no experimentation here (unless you count the rock song but he's already been there), just the same punch line rap and a doper selection of beats this time around. The intro is def a great jumpoff too. If you hate Wayne, you will still hate him. If you like him at all, this album should be near the top of his catalog to you.

Yeah, i kept putting it off because i already owned The Commision which already had Southside, Ballin In The Mix, and Still Pimpin Pens so i had hard time spending the money on Don't Mess Wit Texas, but i happened to find this in the dollar bin. I couldn't pass that up.

What do you think of the Big Unit album with Slim Thug?

Did you find the rap classics re issue or a previous version? either way, cant go wrong for a buck on that one..

I never heard the Big Unit album, have you ?

It is the Rap Classics re-issue so it's a bare bones release. I've never heard the Big Unit album either.

We should ask the Syrup guzzler, he might have

GFK - 12 Reasons to Die
Wow. This shit was amazing. Idk know if it just hit me at the right moment while I was lifted, but I just vibed the fuck out to this one. The production was better than any Ghost album I can think of back to Supreme Clientele. And I usually dig his beat selections. Twelve Reasons To Die (the outro) tied the package up nicely at the end.

Lol, out of all of them ?

Czarface cassette (gotta love impulse buy, will probably never take off the seal to bump it, but it sounded dope to have in my collection...lol)

Where did you get the Czarface cassette?

Crypt from Outerspace has cancer, so all sales of this cassette goes to him & his fam.

Glad you are digging something from MMG! haha

Spins:

GFK - 12 Reasons to Die
Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa - Live in Concert
Sean Born - Behind the Scale
Las Supper - Back to the Future
RA the Rugged Man - Legends Never Die

All these albums were dope. I've already spoken on GFK. Curren$y and WIz was pretty much as I expected...fun, laid back, weed raps. I just wish they had time to put together a full length album. Sean Born was really dope, but it took me a while to get into it. The first few tracks were boring to me at first but it picked up and ended up really dope. I actually liked the first few tracks the second time around. Las Supper turned me off with the first track but thankfully I stuck around because it was dope from track 2 on. Finally, RA was overall dope but there were some really weak points. The beats and choruses were severely lacking on a few tracks (Holla-Loo-Ya was the worst) and it really fucks up the feel of the overall album. RA is deadly with the flow throughout tho.

Great year so far IMO...

I felt the same way about that Sean Born when I first got it, but those beginning tracks really grow on you.

I need to peep Sean Born... Everyone's been biggin' him up over the past year

Behind the Scale is all he's got out, but the whole album is produced by Kev Brown except 2 tracks which were produced my Oddisee and Dunc. Shit is just raw. Highly recommend.
