3018579, Soul On Ice 2 out now
Posted by spirit, Fri Sep-06-19 08:51 AM
Better production than the first. Beats by Justice League, Pete Rock Et cetera
Nine tracks in now. More thoughts later. Cee Lo, Immortal Technique, Styles P etc on cameos.
Edit: most of the cameos are on hooks, but Styles P and Everlast drop strong guest verses
What do y’all think?
Nice Rick James vocal sample usage on the song with Snoop. If Ras was on a major and this was back in the days, that song could do something.
On Spotify, Somehow a large section of Ghosted was added to Opioid Crisis, which is jarring as fuck. Hope they fix that ASAP (the gender politics in Ghosted are extra weirdo, Ras needs better advisors). That can’t have been on purpose?
Peace,

An MC's MC. Hyped to listen...So what happened to that clown game? Talent is what lasts. Long live the MC...

3018597, I don’t agree on the beats being better
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Fri Sep-06-19 02:54 PM
I’m in the minority that fucks with most of the beats on soul on ice. His flow was better back then too. SOI2 is cool. Could’ve been better as a 12 track album.
|
3018604, I liked the beats on Soul on Ice, but like these better

Reasonable minds can disagree. It’s subjective.

3018598, i feel like he's been dropping a lot of joints this year...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Fri Sep-06-19 03:53 PM
...or at least doing ton of features ...is the LP new-new stuff???
|
3018607, I got off social media and lost track of Ras
Posted by spirit, Fri Sep-06-19 07:50 PM
If he has been dropping stuff lately, I missed it. I think this album was recommended to me by Spotify. To be honest, I already forgot how I stumbled on it.
Allegedly a new Ghostface album came out today. And a Danny Brown album exec produced by Q Tip. And some new kid named IDK. So much content. Hard to get through it all but that’s a good problem to have.
Also the Wu biopic on Hulu has some pretty cool moments in it. I like the actors who they have playing Rza, Ghost and Rae.

Pretty solid LP overall. Still taking me a bit of time to get used to the raspier voice
|
3018638, Can someone compare this to Blasphemy? Better or worse?
Posted by Errol Walton Barrow, Sat Sep-07-19 09:19 PM
I thought Blasphemy was a solid 3.5/4 .ic album from rasta, with good production. How does this stack up?
|
3018736, Like lyrics better on SOI2 and beats better in Blasphemy

3018786, I'd say this is probably fair. I'd also say:
Posted by Orbit_Established, Sun Sep-15-19 11:25 PM
SOI2's highs are quite good, as good or better than
Blasphemy's
SOI's lows are a bit below Blasphemy's
But SOI2 is a good record, I need to spin again,
but I dig some of the good songs
