2860380, Marci Beaucoup - Roc Marciano
Posted by guru0509, Sun Dec-08-13 09:27 PM
Arguably the Lesson's most polarizing MC has a project dropping this Tuesday...


Man Bites Dog Records


Roc Maricano is still on his grizzle after releasing a slew of street bangers throughout 2013. His recent mixtape, ‘The Pimpire Strikes Back,’ landed on our Top 10 list of the Best Mixtapes of 2013. Now Roc is going to hit us with his full-length project, ‘Marci Beaucoup.’

The New York rhymer unveiled the cover art and tracklist for the collection, which is due out in stores Dec. 10. The artwork boasts a severed hat, a derby and two piercing eyes staring at you.

Marciano solely produced the collection, which features guest appearances from Evidence (‘Love Means’), Ka, and Guilty Simpson (‘Squeeze’), Action Bronson (’456′), Blu (‘Cut the Check’), Cormega (‘War Scars’), Freeway (‘Didn’t Know’) and Gangrene (Alchemist & Oh No) .

“This is going to be an album where I’m doing all of the production and I’m featuring a lot of artists that I work with,” said Marciano about the album (quotes courtesy of Hip-HopDX). “Every song is me featuring artists that I f— with in the business. Most of this album is to feature my production.”

‘Marci Beaucoup’ is available now for pre-order at Man Bites Dog Records.

Peep the ‘Marci Beaucoup’ tracklist below:

or even
French Montana
Waka
Keef
Lil B
2860386, id agree with your `1st list...no one cares about any1 on the 2nd
Posted by guru0509, Sun Dec-08-13 10:33 PM
you might not have been here when marcberg came out...ppl were arguing all over the place.


either ways, im excited to hear this..the mixtape was very good.
2860395, nah, i was here. anyway, you know
Posted by astralblak, Mon Dec-09-13 12:22 AM
he's stated this is mostly him behind the boards. some raps but mostly to show off his production chops

either way i'm excited. I loved Marcberg and Reloaded (currently i think i like it better than the former). and Pimpire Strikes Back was cool too
2860398, Yeah I'm pretty pumped
Posted by PCProductions, Mon Dec-09-13 01:06 AM
Some of Roc's beats on Reloaded just didn't do it for me, and I'm a minimalist myself. However, someone of his Pimpire beats were incredible, especially Ice Cream Man and Higher Learning. I hope he continues his trend of using more drum heavy samples.

2860500, I call BS on that.

The physical doesn't drop until the 17th. By and large digital only doesn't leak. That being said, as of tomorrow it should be just a few keystrokes (or dollars, if you're into that sort of thing) away.
2860503, i havent listened yet. found a zippyshare link and bookmarked it
Posted by guru0509, Mon Dec-09-13 04:31 PM
roc gets my money anyways. im just impatient.
2860508, why is it hard to believe that a digital product hasn't leaked?

you guys just need to learn how to use google i guess...wasnt hard at all.

Posted by stone_phalanges, Tue Dec-10-13 12:28 AM
Well I stand corrected. Google Music All Access must be eroding my download music early skills.
2860531, Because it's not like a physical copy that anyone can rip and leak
Posted by mrhood75, Mon Dec-09-13 06:44 PM
Like a journalist with a promo copy or an Amazon employee who gets the CD in advance or whoever.

If it's digital only, you assume the only people with access to the album are the people who care about keeping it out of peoples hand's (the artist, the record label folks, etc.). I don't know if there's middle-men at Bandcamp or something, but if there are, maybe one of them could leak it.

his beats are perfect for the rappers featured...nobody's going off rhythmically all crazy, so it's all about finding that pocket

yooooooooooooo!!!!

Evidence killed it
2861052, This dude is the definition of mediocre.
Posted by Kid Ray, Thu Dec-12-13 04:59 AM
The beats sound incomplete or in need of a touch up or something. On the mic he's boring as hell, that song with guilty Roc sounds like a mentally challenged Raekwon. He's worse than mediocre he's blow average. This is what passes as good nowadays?
2861753, you dont get it n/m

LOVE MEANS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgQWOpRPPjc

My reality is different
Carribean mistress apparently I’m gifted
Miami link and ice twisted
The mic’s within striking distance
Rappers bite for nutrition
Peep my description
My face is like an ancient Egyptian
Translate the sacred encryption
And dip with the naked vixen to feel friction
Pulp fiction, prediction
Smooth jumper Mitch Richmond
Drug prescription, I get the symptoms
Pop in a centrum this is princedom
Benz emblems
Rip a tendon, break the timbs in, bend 'em
Defend the kingdom, sting ‘em
The pies sling ‘em
But the price is to sacrifice freedom…

REALLY DOE!?
2861218, I got this track on replay

2861748, Don't like this as much as I want to.
Posted by stone_phalanges, Mon Dec-16-13 03:58 PM
I'm getting that feeling like I'm hearing the same 4 dope songs over and over. His somewhat stream of conscious pimpery/thugery flow feel monotonous on this as well.

I'll give it a few more listens.
2861751, he's VERY limited as an artist, very one note & shallow as well
Posted by philpot, Mon Dec-16-13 04:22 PM
Marcberg was great but he's redundant as an artist w/ nowhere to go at this point
2861752, I'm a HUGE fan of his music, but I agree with you for the most part
Posted by self_ish, Mon Dec-16-13 04:38 PM
You definitely know what you're getting with Roc. And if that's your cup of tea then you're generally cool with it. But there's only so many different ways you can retell the same story and still make it sound fresh or engaging.
2861755, well, Roc isn't through with those so many ways yet
Posted by sweeneykovar, Mon Dec-16-13 04:41 PM
cause its working!
2861761, I agree. Like I said, I'm still a fan. Have been for years.
Posted by self_ish, Mon Dec-16-13 04:54 PM
So I'll wait until he releases another true solo album before I make any definitive declarations of redundancy. But I will say that neither the mixtape or Marci Beaucoup have commanded the repeated spins from me that his previous projects had.
2861839, LUV NY (2012) >>> Marci Beaucoup (2013)

2863523, Is it me or was Blu absolutely terrible on Cut The Check?
Posted by topaz, Sun Dec-29-13 07:22 PM
This is probably Roc's weakest project thus far imo, still a solid 3.5 though.
2863529, yup. sounding like a drunk LMNO

Love Means, Squeeze....and COTDAMN @ Didn't Know!!! Freeway might have the best verse on the whole album. Dude is spittin like his life depended on it.
2875183, I paid for it, on some love shit, but I kinda don't like this nigga
Posted by Orbit_Established, Thu Mar-13-14 04:05 PM

Its not hitting me
2875189, It sadly just wasn't that good
Posted by PCProductions, Thu Mar-13-14 04:47 PM
Every one of his albums has gotten worse than the previous.
