"5. Oh Really ft. Talib Kweli & Geo of Blue Scholars (produced by Marco Polo) "



The main reason why I will check this album out.

looks dope as hell

Also, you listed "Past * Present * Future ft. Melanie Fiona & Naledge of Kidz In The Hall" twice, homo laughter.

What's telling to me is Havoc is the only seasoned producer on there...


either way, a lot is riding on this album. If this thing flops we might have to blow hiphop up and start over

Havoc is the only seasoned one but i respect and know all the other guys besides DJ Mentplus and Coptic

"Also, you listed "Past * Present * Future ft. Melanie Fiona & Naledge of Kidz In The Hall" twice, homo laughter."

If you read the title, Wacky Chan, you'd see that I pulled the tracklist directly from Amazon. Yell at them

Black Milk, Nottz, Marco Polo, 9th, even Khrysis are established in their own right.

Looks like a KRS record I'll probably pick up just to see how it is. That ROBOT song is overrated but not bad.

Havoc is the only seasoned producer, but I dig Marco Polo as well. The MC's are dope on this though, so if the beats are hot then this should be a dope album.

9th Wonder isn't on there or anything...

Oh that's right, I missed that 9th was on there. He's producing the last track.

9th isn't a "seasoned" producer...he been in the game what 6 or 7 years? lol.

You've been in the game for 6 or 7 years, ho

Tracklist looks good, but what's with the album cover?

ehh looks like the album cover to a mixtape

I mean you get what the cover is saying right? Or is it you just don't like it?

I think he was more saying it looks really really fake.

I think the cover's dope

My issue isn't what it's saying, the idea makes sense, it's how poorly done it is.

Much better than the Adeventure's In Emceein' cover, by the way. Lol

Hell yeah^^^^^^^^..lol.

lol the cover looks like they typed in "stormy mountain cliff" on google images and posed over a white background in the pose they make and photoshopped it on to it

I'd be surprised if this was the final cover. I'm betting that something a little more professional will wind up on store shelves.

I still like this cover, though.

The cover is everywhere, even high res versions, and the album is gonna be out in just over a month, I bet it's the final version.

Next to OB4CL2, this is the album I'm looking forward to most.

My top 5 most anticipated albums for the rest of 2009:

1) Street Hop
2) This
3) Cormega
4) Vakill
5) OB4CL2

SMH for the Cormega being under this... the Mega will likely blow this one and even Street Hop out of the water... real talk...

What is "This", who's that?

My top 5 most anticipated

Blueprint 3
US
Cormega
Sticky Fingaz
MOP

The Buckshot/KRS album. As in "this" thread.

my top 6 most anticipated:

OBFCL2
MOP
Cormega
Random Axe
Relapse 2
Souls of Mischief - Montezuma's Revenge

"SMH for the Cormega being under this... the Mega will likely blow this one and even Street Hop out of the water... real talk..."

I know, but it doesn't have a release date yet, right? So who knows if it will even be out this year. But judging by past works and the producer lineup, that is my canidate for AOTY if it drops

I don't know about you all, but I can't wait to hear the Bounty Killer feature. Where in the hell has the dude been? I need another Bounty Killer album.

Co-Sign...

this shit right here looks completely bangin...and the album cover is bangin too, can't wait to get this one

people are sleeping on this song man, i like the beat on this better than Robot, and Buckshot kills it. I couldve done without the last verse with KRS and Buck just name dropping, but Buckshot is back to his hardcore grimey kill you for no reason type of spitting on this. The Formula was good but this is the Buckshot i want. the "Pullin out on Cops cuz i won free glocks" Buck is back on this song

Slug is on this. All I gotta say.

I'm pretty sure the album will be dope, but I figured the tracklist would have been a little more cohesive in terms of producers and features. I would have loved to see Primo, Pete Rock, DJ Scratch, or even Da Beatminerz throw some dope cuts on there. In regards to actual features, I would've also hoped for features by MOP, Raekwon, Q-Tip, etc. I understand that the label is going the cheap route with a lot of underground heads, but don't y'all think with an anticipated collaboration album like this should have deserved some big league cats on feature (Nas, LL, Redman/Meth, etc.)?
