3032592, The producers didn’t paste, when I copied and pasted the track list
Posted by DJR, Wed May-26-21 12:19 PM
But there’s 1 beat each by Alchemist, Khrysis, Nottz, Daringer, Animoss, Mr. Green, and V Don.

3 tracks by Evidence, 2 by EARDRUM, 2 by Sebb Bash
3032596, This is a can't miss album, imo

Beats and rhymes can't NOT be on point!

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

3032599, Yup - all his solos are good and the last one was his best IMO
Posted by DJR, Wed May-26-21 06:41 PM
I like both singles a lot. Looking forward to this.
3032607, One of my favorite rappers ever ever. Cant wait.
Posted by guru0509, Thu May-27-21 12:47 AM
3032621, same
Posted by DJR, Thu May-27-21 05:27 PM
He never misses. There’s only a few left who I’ll pay money and preorder for the physical before hearing the album. He’s one of them.

Always comes correct, and never no need to have bullshit ass artists as guests on his joints...instant cop...
3032757, All of That Said f/ Boldy James (video)
Posted by DJR, Thu Jun-03-21 05:05 PM
I love this one!

“I’m the type to smoke. Not the type to drink. Took the day to write. Use the night to think.” Love it.

That beat feels summery too.

3032993, Boldy James is top 5 right now ...The Price of Tea In China is fire

3032994, His voice/flow was a bit of an acquired taste at first for me
Posted by DJR, Wed Jun-16-21 01:47 PM
But now, I enjoy listening to him.

And agreed on Price of Tea in China.
3033155, Lost in Time(Park Jams) and Where We Going From Here are outstanding
Posted by DJR, Sat Jun-26-21 10:10 AM
That’s what stands out on first listen(not counting the 3 singles I already heard). Definitely going to dig into this.

And of course, Nottz did Lost in Time. He always seems to have the beat that initially jumps off the page to me, on every album he’s on.
3033158, Lost in Time the early standout track for me too
Posted by Stevie Lee, Sat Jun-26-21 10:35 AM
Ev keeps getting better with age, love to see that.
3033182, Yeah, Ev truly seems to make what he wants to make
Posted by DJR, Sun Jun-27-21 07:24 AM
the sincerity shines through in the music. This album is cohesive as hell - can play it through like one long track.

Nottz is just on another level in how he gets his beats to sound IMO. They always have that thump and knock on another level from everyone else’s. He’s the best since Dre in that regard, to me.

3033203, really enjoyed it on first listen

i need to go back to it. halfway through i was loving it. had to take a break then saw the news about gab. when i came back to it i could tell i wasnt really paying attention. it sounded just as good the rest of the way but i need to give it a proper listen.
3033204, How much of this is slow flow rhyming ?
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Mon Jun-28-21 09:14 AM
3033251, Most. Check this one out though

3033345, Stuck on “Won’t Give Up The Danger” now
Posted by DJR, Wed Jul-07-21 10:24 PM
that subtle beat switch on the second verse where it’s the same beat but....different. Love it. Lyrics and content hit hard here, dealing with his wife’s death. Heavy song.

Gets better with each listen as usual. Evidence does it again.
3033350, This is my least fav of his albums.
Posted by stone_phalanges, Thu Jul-08-21 11:07 AM
This is the first from him that feel unessential for me. Not bad by any stretch though.
3033357, I feel the same
Posted by PuertoNico, Fri Jul-09-21 10:03 AM
3033359, it’s definitely a departure - which is the point of the “Unlearning” title
Posted by DJR, Fri Jul-09-21 11:04 AM
So I get it.

I love it though - been playing it nonstop.
3033412, Not sure what happened to my subject line
Posted by DJR, Wed Jul-14-21 12:28 PM
But I said something about how he explained the “unlearning” concept as him trying to “unlearn” all he knew and what he was doing before and treat this like a starting over type album. He wanted it to sound raw and almost demo like.

When I really love a new album, I have a hard time comparing it to an artists past work until more time has passed. I like/love all his solos, but for the present time I’m heavy into this album. Probably my favorite of the year so far.
3033636, Ha. i feel the exact opposite
Posted by Mynoriti, Wed Jul-28-21 03:20 PM
been a fan since dilated. all his solo stuff i *like* but none of it really moved me like that.

Reeeally feeling this one though
