favorites:
Still Love Her
You & I
Sunken Place
Count Em Up
God Bodies

thanks for the heads up

Ace= Top 5
13296910, I've been counting down the days for this
Posted by navajo joe, Sat Nov-10-18 07:18 AM
I gotta do a bunch of work from home today but am actually looking forward to it because I'll be listening to this
13296915, Well worth the wait

Kind of wish there was one last song after the "Moms(Skit)". On Spotify, the album goes right into the Breukelen single so maybe a Breukelen Remix because the beat is SO dope and the story could use a real 'he made it' moment to wrap up the story. It's also the second song on the album and a remix w/ dope bk features (actual Smif-n-Wessun verses?) would serve as a great bookend.


So many dope joints on this and it works seamlessly start to finish

This is about to get continuous burn
13296930, Corporal Punishment and The Fight Song are standouts

13296953, pretty dope

13297115, Get off my dick nigga
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Nov-12-18 06:46 PM
Thanks

13297117, every Masta Ace album revolves around skits. you werent aware
Posted by atruhead, Mon Nov-12-18 06:59 PM
13297118, Wtf does that have to do with these being terrible?

Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Nov-12-18 11:04 PM
It’s obvious I occupy some space in your head. Keep showing everyone how I got you on a string.

13297128, they are not good
Posted by navajo joe, Mon Nov-12-18 08:31 PM
would have been wise to invest in some voice acting talent but it doesn't ruin anything for me. the music/vibe is that dope
13297132, Album is banging but the skits were stiff as fuck
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Nov-12-18 10:05 PM
13297130, Definitely not on the level of "Roommates Meet"
Posted by Nabs, Mon Nov-12-18 09:24 PM
but they're either their own tracks or at the end of songs, so skipping is simple at least. Love the songs, though.
13297394, Yeah, MC Paul Barman and Fats Belvadere would have been
Posted by Adwhizz, Tue Nov-13-18 09:48 PM
welcome, but the actual tracks are so Good I can't be bothered
13297451, ...they grade you on how good the beat sounds

13297189, i could had done without the skits
Posted by mista k5, Tue Nov-13-18 10:38 AM
im over skits/interludes. in the 90s i liked them but i dislike seeing them listed now.

as said earlier, at least these are skippable. sucks more when they put it at the beginning or end of a track.

albums is still great and im pretty sure i would have enjoyed it just as much without hearing any of the skits.
13297224, You know nothing about context fam.
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Nov-13-18 12:12 PM
Lmao
13297251, im still looking for recipes
Posted by mista k5, Tue Nov-13-18 12:45 PM
in the receipts
13297266, I don't think it's the context, rather the performances
Posted by spenzalii, Tue Nov-13-18 02:07 PM
Most of the skits sound like they are reading directly off the page without putting any feeling or naturalness into them. Pretty sure everyone knows by now how a Ace album goes and the skits stitch the songs into a story. That by itself isn't a problem.
13297357, Yeah. That was sarcasm. Lol
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Nov-13-18 05:05 PM
I agree 100%.
13297358, it's fine, you're stupid and didnt understand why they were there
Posted by atruhead, Tue Nov-13-18 05:09 PM
.
13297381, Nah. You just tried too hard. I didn’t like them
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Nov-13-18 07:28 PM
I didn’t ask why they were on the album.

Context fam.

13297403, yeah, i don't care about context...i don't like skits
Posted by justin_scott, Wed Nov-14-18 03:34 AM
i can think of less than 5 all time that were and still are dope to me.

album is dope though. not a classic, or anywhere close to it, but solid, no real skips.
13297626, dope ass music
Posted by EAS, Wed Nov-14-18 05:10 PM
He is in his 50's and doing this? Shiiiiit. Another dope album. The sound is polished and fresh. That hip hop feeling is still there. I mean....I am impressed....like really. I cannot think of any artist with this many years in the game still bringing it. I love KRS-One the rapper but not a fan of his beat selection and because of it, his more recent output isn't up to par. The production quality ain't there.

Masta Ace released another bangin' album; plus the skits ain't that bad. Worth the purchase.
