Im glad I didnt listen to it via audiogalaxy because if I did I wouldnt have purchased it based upon my first listen. I've come to the conclusion with the release of this lp that okayplayers will hype an lp like its the greatest thing ever if it is promoted via this website. (scared to say when shit is wack out of fear of being called a hater imagine that). Everyone who heard this album beforehand swore it held candidacy for the best hip-hop album of the year etc.
the songs I liked
nowhere fast - I paid 7.99 for this at Best Buy, this song alone is worth about 4 or 5 dollars, thats what soulful hip-hop is about, glad to see the aoulquarians still have it (jokes)
chemical calisthenics- you cant help but like this song based upon the sheer creativity
passion- this song has the energy most of the rest of the lp lacks
release parts 1 and 2 - just something you have to experience on your own
thats 4 tracks out of 17, I feel while Gab's flow is extraordinary time after time, there is little life in the rest of these tracks.
Im about to run errands in a few I'll take this cd with me again and digest it a 2nd time. Duck Season impressed me a lot based on 1 listen yesterday. Creativity doesnt always equal good music, if Kobe comes up the court dribbling with the illest technique but cant execute what good is he?
the last outstanding okayplayer album was expansion team
