[Psilocyanide]

I hear OB4CL2 sucks, is this true?

[Jawaharal]

all the singles so far have been sick

[Psilocyanide]

That's a relief, I'd have been unbelievably disappointed if the album was awful

[iarescientists]

**** this is so good

totally worth the wait

[illmitch]

yeah this is ****ing great, and this is coming from a person whos generally skeptical of NY hip hop post-90s

[C.O.A.]

will check this out hopefully within a couple of days and get back to you guys.

[pixiesfanyo]

i dug it from skimming 'bout to smoke a couple bowls and jam it.

[Skyler]

Well that's good news. I was afraid this was going to suck. Downloading.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

finally.

[pixiesfanyo]

rules. couple weak tracks though.

[Jawaharal]

I've only listened to the first 8 tracks, but so far this **** is rawwwwwww

ins, rae, ghost, everyone sounds like they are in top form

[Apocalyptic Raids]

love the beat on surgical gloves.

[kingsoby1]

i think this is getting more props than it deserves, but it's definitely solid. makes me think of the DOOM record earlier this year, except more consistent.

[Surf]

listened to it straight after blueprint 3, so much better

dre's beats are good

and dillas

but like someone said, some stuff could've been cut

[kingsoby1]

i take back my last post, this is near-classic material.

[RoshanC]

This is really really good. so much better than I expected

[illmitch]

i listened to the first half last night, can't wait to finish it today. album is great. probably best hip hop album of 09, and strong contender for best album of 09 IMO.

[kingsoby1]

yep.

been on repeat today... shit's epic

[Skyler]

Wow, color me completely surprised. **** is awesome.

[illmitch]

so far the only bad thing i've noticed about it is Busta Rhymes

[pixiesfanyo]

really? i thought he was okay on that track. the other Dre one is kinda lame though.

[Surf]

so far the only bad thing i've noticed about it is Busta Rhymes


beat in that song is great though

and still, its alright for modern busta

kiss the ring and fat lady sings are worse but they're still pretty good

[illmitch]

yeah it's not BAD but i'm just not a fan of busta rhymes. the beat is good though. i think if it didn't have busta it would be a good song. i don't really mind the other Dre beat either tbh.

[nator]

pyrex vision too short

[Jawaharal]

I really like it so far. Love how it feels like an actual album instead of just a bunch of tracks.

House of Flying Daggers is a serious banger

[nator]

get some bologna on your face or somethin nigga

[illmitch]

pyrex vision too short

rap interludes that are actual songs are pretty sweet tbh

[kingsoby1]

get some bologna on your face or somethin nigga

get yourself a 40 and a pacifier too

[nator]

whole album is so good ugh

gza doesnt sound like he's asleep on we will rob you

[illmitch]

whole album is so good ugh

gza doesnt sound like he's asleep on we will rob you

yeah its crazy. idk how it happened, but it definitely reinvigorated the wu.

[honourosis]

either really stoned or this is really great

[illmitch]

its really great

the thing under your username is pretty sweet tbh btw

[pixiesfanyo]

Rae's verse on Kiss the Ring is like his best verse on the entire album. Deck sucks on it but who cares. Deck always sucked in my eyes.

[Psilocyanide]

Finally downloaded. What a pleasant surprise, this album appears amazing so far.

[StreetlightRock]

this is sick

[RoshanC]

Anyone else begining to wonder if its better than the 1st one?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

definitely not

[illmitch]

it comes close to matching the original, but no way it outdoes its predecessor

[nator]

sure it does

first one only had one good song soooo

[illmitch]

sure it does

first one only had one good song soooo

idk what your talkin about man ob4cl is jampacked with classix

[nator]

sure it is wigger

[iarescientists]

only built 4 fratty chinks

[illmitch]

sure it is wigger

oh no u didnt

[kingsoby1]

sure it does

first one only had one good song soooo

lol right.

[nator]

arent you from minnesota i mean

[kingsoby1]

that wasn't a sentence - but did manage to delineate a modicum of internet coolness.

[nator]

is this a sentence

and what is modcum

[honourosis]

been listening to this all day

nowhere near classic just extremely good

[kingsoby1]

this is the best thing out of new york in a few years.

[pixiesfanyo]

i dunno 'bout that.

no way is this better than the first one.

[nator]

yo jared i said it i mean you can even deny how better because coming from me its got a truth

[kingsoby1]

i dunno 'bout that.

no way is this better than the first one.

nyc has sucked so bad lately

[pixiesfanyo]

new Cam'Ron, new Monch, Jneiro Jarel, El-P, Ghostface, etc.

[Psilocyanide]

It's a great album, but no where near as good as original. Yay now i don't sound like I'm mentally disabled.

[freeliminator]

do you know what predecessor means

[honourosis]

aha

[illmitch]

Lol it's a great predecessor, but in no way is it better than the first

wow just wow

[Skyler]

The first one is a hip-hop classic. This is just really good.

[horseypie]

kiss the ring is the best song i think at the moment, the beat is sick. love the choir sample behind it. dres beat on about me is great as well

i havent heard the first one and i only downloaded this because of everyone on here being amazed by it...good call guys

[gaslightanthem]

love it tbh

[Jaundice]

that wasn't a sentence - but did manage to delineate a modicum of internet coolness.is those supposed to sound hypocritical

or did i miss the joke :confused:

[kingsoby1]

you are jaundiced like my newborn son.

[Jaundice]

congrats on the birth

[Iluvatar]

not fair to compare them since this has been out for

2 days

but it rules

[Jaundice]

Even if it was better, nobody would want to admit to it.

Once something has classic status it's hard to get look at it objectively

[kingsoby1]

i like it about the same, but i don't think it's as revolutionary obviously. that said, i'm wrestling between giving this a 4.5 or a 5.

[Jaundice]

4.5 or 5 microphones

[Kyle]

Just downloaded this, I am so excited after reading this thread. Better not let me down now.

[illmitch]

i like it about the same, but i don't think it's as revolutionary obviously. that said, i'm wrestling between giving this a 4.5 or a 5.

honestly after some thought i think it might be...this is the first modern NY album (of the old-school variety) that has piqued my interest in years.

[niobium]

shits pretty good. a little long but i don't notice this time

[nator]

album sounds really cohesive even though there are a bunch of differen tproducers

[Iluvatar]

surprising considering all da egos

[Spaceman Spiff]

I really like it.

[Kyle]

It's so good.

Have you guys seen the video for House of Flying Daggers? It's really great, I wapped it up here on my blog http://fingersbecomethumbs.wordpress.com/

[nator]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR7kVnh3PlI

now people dont have to go to your crappy blog

[Kyle]

Fair enough. Blogs are difficult to promote, at least I do it by adding to discussion somehow.

Anyway, great video.

[illmitch]

that video's ****ing amazing

[metalicajaymz]

this album is so motherfucking good

it's too stylistically different to say it's better than the first which is why no one intelligent is bothering to compare

[Six Foot Revolver]

finally got around to listening to this and it's so ****ing good
