Going to be hard to hate on this LP, but I'm confident that these angry dinosaurs will find a way. Don't let me down now!

Uh Oh. Threads been Thuned. So it begins...

I dunno, I'm a huge De La Stan, so maybe I'm a tad biased, but - after about a half dozen listens front-to-back - I'm floored by this LP. To me it's the spiritual heir to Buhloone Mindstate and their best album since "Stakes". And I liked Grind Date quite a bit. There's something for everyone on her...

Man, it's hard out there for an old-schoolish Hip-Hop act nowadays huh? But, whereas the Ghetto Boys fundraiser made me a little bit sad, I can't say that I have any emotions tied to this shit. Kinda hated both groups and the time and still do.

So dope this. This so dope. It's hard to articulate how dope. It seems unfair that it's free.

Huh, all these years, I've been thinking that Erik Sermon was/is the "Green-Eyed Bandit".

I can't help but get down get down with the Gangstarr Foundation, just as a matter of principle. ODB was a slobbery drunk on the mic, but likeable none the less. Pun was nice but unproven. GURU was a part of classic records - 3, arguably 4, of which I really like and still play. Never been a UGK guy...

Pos sounds a little bored but Dave's verse is kinda nice. Still, I'm pretty amped that we're going to hear a new De La record this year.

Yeah, this album didn't initially smack me across the face, but it is one of the most excellent "let that shit bubble" records that I can think of in recent memory. I remember feeling the same way about "Labcabincalifornia" and "Donuts". It's probably the best hip-hop record released in the last fiv...

I wish Kendrick went a bit harder on this. I mean, shit's cool and all - it's thoroughly interesting - but my favorite Kendrick is 'Hood Politics' and 'Blacker the Berry' Kendrick. I'm not too sure what the fuck he thinks he's doing with his voice on the second half of 'u' but it annoys the shit out...

Hmm, but to be fair, Rae and Ghost are the only members of Wu that seem to be capable of making a good record anymore. Or ever. I'll give him the benefit. But what was his stash laced with when he gave the 'thumbs up' to that album cover?

It's incredible. Man, I'd just be happy with better quality versions of what's already been released quite frankly. Speaking frank yo.

Absolutely! Hey, maybe he'll get a sitcom. Maybe he'll be in "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 3"! Rappers with a personality are always in demand yo. However, from a technical proficiency perspective, I'll take AB over Ice-T, Will Smith, Xibit, Method Man (because all of his solo albums suck) any day. This guy...

As a rapper he's very interesting because he's, you know, good at it. I'm not too concerned with his eating habits.

I like the LP. Not sure where I'd place it in the Wu cannon, overall, but it's pretty good. It's much better than I thought it would be.

Wow. This is

I'll reserve judgement for a better quality rip, but it's sounds pretty dope to me. I expect nothing less, to be honest.

I really want to fuck Lil Debbie. I forgot about her for a sec. Thanks for the reminder!

Not to get too cheesy - even though, most of these guys haven't gotten VERY cheesy - but even the most talented artists in any genre of music, seemingly only have a 2 to 5 album window of greatness. There's few, if any, that have exceeded this. Maybe the Beatles. Maybe The Roots. These are exception...

Interesting tidbit; this album jumped 46 spots on the Billboard Hot 200 charts, within the last couple of weeks. That was the biggest jump last week on the chart, but I'm pretty sure it's also the highest placing for either of these guys since they joined forces. Not to take anything away from the a...

Who the fuck are "they"? Does Gibbs have a really good LP that I am not aware of?

Great to see them getting some national exposure like that. Great for them and great for hiphop in general. The sound man deserves a smack, but whatever. I'm with the homie Bob Sonic though, I think el-p is dope on the mic and quite capable in the worst of scenarios. since ISWYD, he's been really ex...

To me, this shit is great. classic boom bap. Evidence is really in the pocket right now, and Raakaa sounds reinvigorated as well. It's also sort of refreshing to hear scratching on a new release. The beats obviously go, but that should not be surprising.

I gotta be honest, shits kinda dope. I need more retro rap/rock in my life.

Tis good. I never have a problem with a little boom bap. Will buy. Will bump.

This album is really dope. It's a feel good record, with lots of replay value. The last few Atmosphere LP's have been a tad depressing, and I'm kinda over so I'm glad Slug is too.

Gave it a fast listen yesterday, and it sounded promising. I like all Pharaoh's shit tho.

That Kanye West ish is type phat yo. Real phat

Hey, it's a FREE mixtape. What's wrong with presenting the world with a fresh take on some classic material? Better yet, your own classic material? There's not a ton of precedence for the situation that De La finds themselves in, because frankly, name a Golden age group that compares? Wu can't get a...

My personal fave is this LP. When I was a kid I was partial to "Daily Operation" but over the years, "Hard To Earn" has gotten the most spins. Premo really was in his prime at this time and the beats on this album are ridiculous. And really, GURU was in his prime at this time too.
