but i hate statik selektah and i dl'd the album against my better judgement just "to see"... and just as i thought i hate this album.

this dude belonged to the dilated peoples school of rap.

meaning he willingly existed cowering of the shadow of his idols, never dare to risk doing anything outside the range of what they exhibited 10-15-20-25 years ago.

this album verbatim could have dropped in 2004 and it still would have been outdated by 5 years.

all the rappers sound like 50 years old.
you know why? because they fucking are.

this album blows.
the only takeaway from this is i feel sorry for joey badass for ruining his career by staying so stringently loyal to a period he wasn't a part of rather than contemporizing it's styles/standards to fit in today.
