Love the album, production is killer throughout Block, bravo.

So far "Bridges", "Where's The Exit", "Last Breath", and "Lighthouse" are the standouts. Is this up for pre-order? CD/Vinyl?

Resolved Question
Does Biggie Smalls hate HipHop???

"Shoulda been a cop, Fukc Hiphop"

I've been wondering what he meant by this.

Naw, he likes hip hop and rap. He was just referring to if he hadn't started rapping he would've been a cop.
So he's cursing it, not that he doesn't like it, just for the sake of it.

Great album Block. Probably AOTY for me up to this point. There's a lot to digest with Illogic's lyrics so the replay value should be really good here. This is obviously grown man rap which might put some people off but I can appreciate. Nice chemistry between the beats and lyrics and even some nice changes of pace throughout the album as well.

Really interested to hear the Billy Woods album down the line to see how it compares with this. Two totally different emcees.

I enjoyed my first listen of this album and I get the feeling that this album will be one that grows on me, really dope to see Illogic and Blockhead still making music in this day and age, I agree that this is grown folks Hip Hop.

Props to both oh and Block Phat Friend is always a great read bro.

Looking forward to checking this when I get my copy in the mail. Really enjoyed both EPs, and been playing them a lot lately in anticipation for this.

What he meant was that he so eagerly wants to download the album illegally but his hard drive is so low on space that his recycle bin is bursting at the seams because he is trying to free up space on his computer to steal music from you.

Been sleeping on this thread. Really like that RJD2 remix. Do you and RJ friends? How about a producer of collaboration album? Yes :bork:

But seriaously, you and RJ working on something together would get me as reminiscently exciter as the new quasimoto album.

Me and rj are definitely cool. Haven't seen him in a minute though.
I'm not a big fan of producer collabo type shit though. Too many cooks...I think we're both better of just doong our own thing. Though, an album half produced by him qnd half produced by me would be pretty cool.
