How does everyone rate this album? This is damn near classic to me and just gets better and better. Bill's flow was top notch of his career on this album and Necro produces this shit almost flawlessly. There are a couple weaker tracks, but nothing that i need to skip but Necro and Bill is always the best combination dont care what anyone says. Hour of Reprisal doesnt come anywhere close to this flow, beat or even lyrically for me.

Not to mention "Whats Wrong" being one of the dopest/coldest intros to an album of all time, let alone his debut solo album. Beat is hard as fuck, and Bill's opening lines will send chills through any soft minded individual's spine. Cant get enough of this album, and one of the best of the decade. Necro is a new age production king and i feel bad for all the people who sleep on his prduction and then cry about where all the grimey NY sound is. Bill touches on a ton of different topics on this as well and his subject matter is more diverse than some of his subsequent work, this album is close to the level of The Future is Now easily too.

I like Bill on this, and the nostalgia factor is in full effect...that said, I think the production has aged to show Necro's corny talentless-ness.

Don't get me wrong, when I first heard this I thought it was perfect. Then I got into Sabacalypse, Art of Dying, and some of Necro's solo work. The production on these is downright terrible. Except for a handful of tracks, these albums sound like a retarded high school kid's project.

Revisiting WWWB, I can recognize certain similarities that might never have bothered me if I was never exposed to those other heaping helpings of turd.

Even with this one gripe, the album really falls just short of perfect. 4.5

you are crazy dude, Necro's production on all the shit you just mentioned is incredible, hell shit on almost all underground and mainstream producers

Can't front on Necro's production skittles. Even if you don't dig his raps.

As for the album. I give it 4.5/5

It's been a while since I last bump this album, but I agree, Necro's production on here is excellent. I remember skipping a few tracks, but was really impressed with the productions throughout. I gotta revisit this again.

5 stars for me.

And Necro is great producer imo.

Definitely cosign Linker. Even if his raps are subpar, I can't say the same for the beats. Dude has production talent. Cmon, Parker... Agent Orange, Underground, Black Helicopters, Fuckin' Head Split, Lock'D, Five Boroughs, Radiohead, Street Veteran, shit most of the beats on Gory Days were dope.. The list goes on man.

Wait, did Necro do all the beats on Art of Dying?

If he did Earth Rot that is fucking dope.

Goretex co-produced a lot of Art Of Dying as well, I'd have to look at the linears to see which tracks specifically. Bill and Gore co-produced/co-wrote/played instruments on a ton of shit with Necro, but rarely got credited.

I stated it before that the production ain't that good. Its funny cause I do like low-budget production but it doesn't work here. The beats should have been on par with TFIN album. The beats weren't captivating enough. But School Shooting, American History X, and Glenwood Projects
had ill beats
