No, no, no... Even if your a purist, which means I won't include cats like Timbo and Pharrell in the list, would you say that the output from cats like Jake One, Just Blaze and Justice League pales in comparison to BM's? What about the stuff ALC and Oh No have been doing as Gangrene and on the GTA soundtrack?
In the end though, this is your opinion, so, it can't be wrong.
>real talk
If that's your version of real talk, I'd hate to hear fake. Look, I'm a BM FAN, but this track is NOT special. Personally, since AOTY, he has been moving backwards. Don't get me wrong, every now and again he'll manage to squeeze out some heat like Perfected on Puritan Ave, Story and Her or Poison, but, for the most part, his production has taken this weird, dark, minimalist turn that has left me feeling lukewarm to his output.
Now, this current track is that same style he tried on Hell Below where he's mixing samples with a Texas hip hop type beat. It's cool and I applaud him for trying something different, but he hasn't made done anything with it that is worth clamoring over.
This reminds me of when some cat had posted this off kilter sounding Common track produced by NO ID. Can't remember the name right now, but I'll search for the post and respond with it if it's still around. Anyway, cats were quick to praise it like it was the second coming. And all the beat really was was a sample of like some royal ensemble drums. "Yeah, this is fire!" "This is what hip hop should sound like." Well, the track didn't even make the cut for the album and obviously many other cats didn't feel as strongly because the ensuing album, Nobody's Smiling, tanked. I reference this example because we tend to get uber excited for any kind of new material just because it's new, which is cool, but let's not automatically start talking in superlatives.
Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.
