But this album is immediately a Top 5 album for me in 2012. I was in kind of a shit mood when I woke up, and one play through PayBack and I'm mad optimistic.
PayBack is such a Lesson album, got something in it for everyone. This year has been overloaded with hyped up releases, and for me personally, classics. Probably my favorite year in music in my young life, and the most I've been glued in trying to catch it all. I'm not even a Danny! stan, I started listening to his back catalog like only the end of last year. But I've been pining for this release since I first heard the original, and fam, I'm completely satisfied. Despite the stripped down, changed up guest list this is actually a BETTER album.
He runs circles around most of these other producers out there, given that the beats on the original were so great already, and he was just like "fuck it Imma make an even BETTER beat for v2". And as a rapper is great too, witty, funny, technically sound, original everything you look for. I read once on here that Oddisee is the best producer rapper doing it right now, and I call bullshit. Payback seals that one up easily.
Good fucking job, now I just need it on Wax. Danny! what's good with it?
P.S - And I thought I was going crazy for a minute hearing Timbaland's Are You That Somebody interpolated like 15 times on this album, and then he threw on him speaking for a second to Ice it.
