8. "dope project coming out at the right time" In response to Reply # 0
i'm not crazy about the beats like the rest of y'all...they're very similar to the ones on the carrollton heist which were a bit too sleepy for my taste
this is what makes this project with listening. Repeatedly.
The opinions on Alchemist's beats (I think they are pretty good for the most part and stellar on two or so songs) and Currency's raps (he's not fit to even being Gibbs' weed carrier) are subjective, but boy oh boy is Gibbs so mean on this effort.
Mean in the nicest way possible of course.

I understand why folks knock Currency but he didn’t ruin this project.

This was my main motivation for getting up early Saturday morning and be willing to wait in line, but I couldn't pass up getting a physical copy of this since Gibbs was so fierce on this project.

34. "man i dont generally fuck with instrumentals of rap albums" In response to Reply # 0
it gets too repetitive normally - just makes me want to hear the record with vocals im fine with records that are meant to be instro (dilla, blockhead, etc)
BUT - man these Fetti instros KNOCK.
They're all short enough not to get boring, and they've got their own mood, independent of the vocals, that lets these tracks live on their own really really well. Alchemist really did something with this one

40. "There's some weirdness that went down with its promo" In response to Reply # 38
There's no beef between Gibbs and Curren$y but Gibbs mentioned something during a recent interview about Curren$y not being down to shoot any videos for it.
The conversation moves to Gibbs opening up about why he feels the independent LP did not reach more people. “It’s an amazing album. I wish Curren$y would’ve helped me pump it, but whatever. That’s the Rap game. got ni**as like that. Shout out to Curren$y; I love Curren$y, but I wish he would’ve helped me with that album.” Budden asks if that is part of the responsibility of a collaborator. Gibbs insists it is, given that there is a product to promote. He adds that no videos were made for the nine-song effort, and that was because of the New Orleans, Louisiana MC.
“Y’all did a project together. That was agreed upon. That, for everybody, also don’t mean I’m agreeing to promote it, I want it to do the best, I’ma be in the videos—everybody don’t commit to the whole project. So what I’m saying is, was he wrong in that?” Gibbs responds that Curren$y is not wrong. “But me personally, I wish it would’ve went differently.” As Joe asks why the videos weren’t made, Gibbs says, “Bro. That’s a whole ‘nother conversation. ” He also insists it was not about compensation. “Curren$y rich too; it wasn’t a money thing.” Gibbs says that he is happy the album exists, is part of three artist’s legacies, and it can never be held against them for not creating the body of work.
