I think his problem is that RZA isn't interested in producing those sounds anymore


really? I thought it was a personal problem after 8 Diagrams

well i guess that was part of the problem, rae and ghost wanted the sort of old gritty wu sound, while RZA was doing all this experimenting and what have you

yeah it was that coupled with the fact that RZA wanted to release it on the same day as Big Doe Rehab that pissed off Ghost, which in turn pissed off Rae



but mainly it was the production thing I think. I do have a review almost finished for this, but I may wait to post it for awhile since I know Dev's doing one. I think it's better to draw out all the reviews for a big new album than have like 10 in the first week.



not that there's anything wrong with having 2-3 the first week, it's just nice to be able to have more time to edit since there are already two good reviews up for this now.



nice work Eno, it seems we have pretty similar views on this one : )

Lasers is by no means great, but it's also not nearly as bad as it was made out to be

I'm still deciding as to whether or not I do one since, you know, Eno just got up all in my business. But if I do, I'll probably write it up tonight. I have a few things lined up that I've put on hold since work/life has been busy as of late, plus organising the feature

still love you though Eno

I have to admit, Lupe fans piss me off.


oh god me too



one of my good buddies says that The Cool is easily a top 5 hip hop album of all time and it drives me insane



then again he also thinks Eminem's last album was his best overall so, you know...



Lupe's last two mixtapes before Food & Liquor had his best rhymes imo

but you don't even like Eminem so I don't think you're qualified to judge what his best album is

lol I do like some Eminem though, SSLP and MMLP are both great albums. even if I don't personally like them as much as the general consensus, I still enjoy both and recognize them as objectively good



I mean, I'm not a huge AC/DC fan but I recognize that Stiff Upper Lip isn't their finest accompishment...
