And I very much enjoy both.

I do like that he's continuing to keep things raw and gritty. He's not even trying to make things more accessible. Which I respect.

Probably like "It Wasn't Even Close" a **little** better, but this is also dope.

i'd say "Train Love" & "Head Over Wheels II" are pretty accessible... but i agree on the rest of the album... Still would like to hear Droog hook up with a "Big" producer like a Premier cut just to see him slay that shit on some more traditional style.

(The one that was originally pitched down).
On streaming it’s his regular voice.
He doesn’t sound like Nas to me.

I feel like he's messing around and becoming one of my favorite current rappers. Always flows on beats I like, bars are on point, and he's kinda hilarious.

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

cant really point at any weak track. the production works so well with his style. his voice sounds so much like doom to me. after a couple tracks i had to look him up to make sure it wasnt him. his actual rhyme style is more like nas though but his voice doesnt sound like him to me though. maybe on earlier work?

only complaint i can see for this would be that he sounds like ___ and uses a lot of known lines from others. like he sounds too familiar. it works for me though so im not complaining but i can see others doing so.

we will see if it holds up on repeat listens but on first listen it was 5/5

most of the time, I feel like we hear old rap lines flipped in the same way/tone/direction from when they were originally conceived. The Cappadonna, RZA, Sean P and Scarface lines were all flipped in a very inventive manner.

Executive produced by Mach-Hommy. Looks like an unofficial "sequel" to It Wasn't Even Close. Tha God Fahim and Quelle Chris do most of the production. Edan does a beat too.

Everyone is just going to gloss over/forget/pretend it never happened/shrug off the fact that the ONLY reason anyone knows this dude's name is he dropped a tape pretending to be a legend.

Dude is shrewd AND corny as absolute fuck.

I'll never understand the passes that are given out to white rappers.

The bar is so much lower for them its unreal.


Had a black dude dropped a tape pretending to be Nas? LOL dude would be ran off the internet. And you all know this.

And before anyone says "he doesn't sound that much like Nas"..

1. Stop lying, he does.

2. He purposely released a tape to make people think it was Nas. He did that shit on purpose for a buzz.

3. He still sounds like Nas to this day. At least on his guest spots that I've heard. Its cringe worthy.


And now he is hitching his existence to Mach. At least he knows that he can't make it on his own. *shrugs*

I do think that he is particularly skilled at rapping and is a clever writer. I don't think he's the god MC or anything of that nature, but I do think he's dope

Why not just stop posting about him if you don't like it.

Also, if it is so easy for white rappers why aren't most rappers white?

Or better yet, just post about something you like instead of continuing to sweat a rapper you don't like. You can't talk him out of existence.

Production is on point.
He doubled down on the Jewishness and it’s fire.
Sounds like a Jewish block in Brooklyn with hard beats and clever rhymes.

Mach got a few verses, Fahim (meh) as well.
Best DOOM verse I’ve heard in a while.

Jew Tang & BDE beats are tuff.

despite it being a Jewish record through and through.

Can’t front on it, YOD is making substantive hip-hop music while bringing more and more of himself to it.
