2848393, Blu & Nottz - Gods In The Spirit EP
Posted by wrecknoble, Wed Oct-16-13 12:20 AM
it's out there, so i'm looking for thoughts on it

i definitely feel like Blu and Nottz are a great combo. plus this feels like a return to form in terms of Blu's lyrics.. he was getting lazy for a while

the guest appearances are dope too

this is one of those EPs that's just hiphop to the core. dope rhymes over dope beats.

1. Blu & Nottz - Boyz II Men (feat. Nitty Scott MC) (3:51)
2. Blu & Nottz - Creme of the Crop (feat. Versis & Scienze) (3:38)
3. Blu & Nottz - Crooks in Castles (feat. Anth'm, Homeboy Sandman, Sene & Johaz) (4:15)
4. Blu & Nottz - End of the World (feat. Rashad) (3:57)
5. Blu & Nottz - God Shit (feat. Aloe Blacc, Co$$ & Definite Mass) (4:59)
6. Nottz & Blu - End of the World (Remix) (3:10)
2848395, wait when is this supposed to come out officially?

new project dropping OCT.31

2848411, Is it mixed? Not holding my hands over my ears anymore

Not that I have super-high standards, but he's been releasing stuff mixed so poorly that if I listen outside I can barely hear him. It's gotten to the point I don't even check for him anymore because of it.

At work now so I can't check it, but hoping it's worth it.

if Nottz is involved it should be a decent mix.

2848494, yup it's mixed and sounds dope
Posted by wrecknoble, Wed Oct-16-13 12:06 PM
Not that lo-fi Blu bullshit we all got accustomed to lol. Dude was using his shower stall as a studio for a minute.. At least it sounded like it lol

This is a great project, dope verses from all emcees over some dope production.

I like that it's only 6 tracks too, so you don't get tired of the rappity rap style. Gives it more replay value to me.
2848515, Crooks In Castles is hard

2849872, God Shit is the only song I'm really feeling
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Tue Oct-22-13 09:13 PM

2849878, It's no 'Give Me My Flowers', but I fuck with it

2849917, I swear I'm trying but I'm only finding iTunes links to cop
Posted by Ishwip, Wed Oct-23-13 12:35 AM
Is iTunes the only place to get it? I'm not finding it on Amazon or bandcamp.

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!

yo how does this sound to you guys?

The End Of The World remix is amazing but that Nottz Raw thump is just missing..Been playing that Kardinal AMTRIM and You Need This Music a lot recently and its not what I'm accustomed to!

I'm not crazy about it. It was only $5 so I ain't trippin. Shit do sound like Blu had his hands in the mixing. Nottz just wasn't gonna let him fuck it all the way up though lol.
2850038, Creme of the Crop is top notch
Posted by jigga, Wed Oct-23-13 01:01 PM
The rest aint too shabby

Blulib ever gonna officially release that UCLA project tho?
2850091, wasn't my fave blu work
Posted by Mash_Comp, Wed Oct-23-13 03:12 PM
i happen to like rappity rap (i hate that term) blu just fine. this had too many features. i dunno, it wasn't phoned in but it wasn't a life changer.
2852622, where I'm at after the first listen
Posted by Kosa12, Wed Oct-30-13 11:16 PM
the track with ScienZe and Versis is dope though
2850911, after more listens....this shit is pretty damn nice
Posted by Dstl1, Sat Oct-26-13 08:25 AM
Boyz II Men bangs and it would be my favorite track, but the girl's voice on the chorus annoys me to no end. I like the pattern they all followed, ending everything with boy/son/kid. Crooks in the Castle is my shit and Sandman BODIED it...just destroyed it. Cream of the Crop is fuckin dope, as well. God Shit...flames. Fun little joint they did. I like it.
