Yo man big ups on your project!!! For real you put it together nicely, and made it do what it does....knock knock knock. I thought overall it was an 8.5, and considering the time constraints and the fact it was spur of the moment brainchild, that 8.5 equates to a 9.7 to me. Beats and rhymes came out really fresh. Thanks for the love with the feature, and I loved the sample that you added at the beginning, and I personally wished you would have put another one at the end, but it still came out raw the way you did it. Once more, much respect to you and everyone else who played apart in the project coming together.

Here is my input on specific tracks.......

Didnt like: 4, 13, 17, or 19. Maybe just my personal taste, but there wasnt much to them. Too simple for me, wanted more drums on the beats, more skillful lyrics/deliveries. And that is not a diss, just my honest critique. I understand that artistic vision sometimes differs from the aspirations that a listener may have for you, so pleease take it with a grain of salt.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 18, 20, 23, 26, 27, and 22. Just so many dope beats and raw styles of flow!!! And the lyricism on alot of those is top notch. Red Pill is ILL. Conscious is too cold with his! That Erykah Badu remix was nutz and bananas! Raphael and his homie (sorry that i cant remember his name off top) were nasty with it. Aviator J brings the raucous (and he flips this flow in a Raekwon style that is beautiful). The whole vibe of this mixtape is Dilla esq, or a'la Madlib, or MF Doom like. The album artwork was fresh too by the way.

Again, much respect to everyone that participated, and I am glad that I got an opportunity to be apart of this project. And if you are reading this and haven't downloaded it yet, I strongly suggest you do so because there is some really good music on this mixtape that truly captures the essence of Hip-Hop in its purest form. Word.

Well, until the next time.....
