Thoughts?
Off his new album Lo-Fi Fingaz that drops at midnite tonite on iTunes, physical cd and vinyl drops 2/28. Features David Banner, Run of RUN DMC, Roc Marci, Large Pro, Brand Nubian, 7even:Thirty and others. And our own My_SP_1200_Broken_Again (DJ Chief One) on the scratches!
Basically the 2012 Soul Survivor (Pete Rock) imo.
Also snippets of the new album:

2665203, thanks, was kinda hoping for a Puba verse on this Brand Nubian track
Posted by Bombastic, Tue Feb-21-12 04:22 PM
beat/first two verses sounded great & I was starting to get ready after Dotty finished but then Jamar came in with a second verse that was much weaker than the one he led off with.
|
2665284, listened to the stream, beats are great of course
Posted by philpot, Tue Feb-21-12 08:34 PM
some real ill sounding shit, and some shit i was lukewarm too
im abt 1/2 on the mc performances, there are gems but personally most of it was talkin over the beat that i wanted to hear by itself
obviously MMG made a decision to stop fukn w/ instro versions of albums (nothing prolly since gas mask) but this is dying for one...or either gensu gets an instro release in the instro series they said theyre doing, which is prolly better anyway...i mean if he even wants to put out beats like that

He will be in the instro series. What were ur favorite joints?
|
2665496, blame one joint is great, been loved the largepro joint...
Posted by philpot, Wed Feb-22-12 10:34 AM
the melatone joint thru the block prenup series of 4 songs are all
solid
wasnt feeling the nubian joint and roc marc doin nothin for me on this album, i generally cant do rappers w/ brit accents anyway so the planets joint was meh
also still havent heard the last 3 trx bc i lost the stream and then had shit to do, forgot that when i posted lol
this is all in regards to the rapping...beats are all good for the most part, some of the ineterlude beats were stupid, the nautilus joint was jst STUPID (obviously i mean in a goodd way lol)
|
2666240, Yeah check those last 3 tracks...
Posted by SP1200, Thu Feb-23-12 02:29 AM

I think the Brand Nubian joint is dope btw.

Posted by SP1200, Tue Feb-21-12 03:55 PM
Haha, I tried to get "In My Head" b4 Brand Nubian got it lol.
|
2665201, I think I like the idea of Gensu Dean more than his actual beats these days.
Posted by third_i_vision, Tue Feb-21-12 04:18 PM
Really enjoyed the Dean's List remixes back in 05.
Tried really hard to get into the Large Pro song last year....same with this one. Not feeling the polished sound. This project is like Wu-Tang Forever or Soul Survivor Pt 2 compared to it's predecessor.
I'd still love to own his record collection though.
