Cowardly Threats & Hideous Cruelty

Damn, beat me to the punch, but yeah there is some ESSENTIAL woods on here both old and brand new. If you're at all a fan, scoop this immediately

haha dope, i was looking for this pretty much every day since the beginning of last week.

Nice. Really been looking forward to this one.

Addikt did a really nice job with the sequencing and blends on this.

Just in time for the holidays (if you're into that sort of thing)...
Downloading now

History Will Absolve Me is slated for a winter release, with production by Willie Green, Marmaduke, A.M. Breakups, Nasa and Lex Boogie. A dark departure from his critically-acclaimed work with the now defunct Super Chron Flight Brothers, HWAM will also be his first album release with a full lyric book, which, for some of us will come in quite handy.

Great title.

yeah, got this on my phone at work and just copied and pasted...was so excited I just had to get it up there. Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I'm eager to hear any new material.

Even more excited for the new album and lyric book (which I've been asking for for a while) as well as the announcement that a Bond/Woods project is in the works.

Hopefully this mixtape gets some attention and gets to the right ears. The only thing Billy needs as an MC is a bigger audience.

"Artest pop a fan out the stands" and "Wrote a handbook called How to Terrell Owens a whole team"

quite a few joints I hadn't heard on here- Waiting, Imani remix, Green Goblin, Death From Above, Concussion, Guns & Pussy remix, Cyanide, and Two Blunts.

Green Goblin and Concussion stand out on first listen, but the real treat is the mixing of the entire joint...very well done, just awesome to have this many dope Woods verses in this type of format. Definitely isn't a best of, as several of my favorite joints off his first 2 albums were left off, but anyone who gives this mixtape a chance should have the incentive to cop Camouflage and The Chalice.

forgot my favorite sports reference-

"I was better then like Edgerrin/ Stay on lean with the Dexedrine rhyme scheme" As I Colts fan this hit close to home, especially how Edge ran with that lean...always fallin forward. I guess "Artest pop a fan out the stands" hits close to home too, just not in a good way.

I am partial to "posting my pivot/olajuwon coaching these midgets" myself.

u never heard direct tv?

family ties is my shiiiiiiiiit. easy to forget about cuz it wasnt on an album but damn! is that shit about another rapper or real family?

Forgot the G&P remix was on Direct TV, I never like Guns & Pussy as much as most of ya'll, so that's probably why I didn't recognize it right away. It was always easy to skip since it's the last song.

Family Ties is awesome. I always assumed he was talking about a brother which also made me think Low Tide was a true story. Don't know if COOLEH or Willie can confirm or are willing to confirm any of this. Either way, great song-

But the reality is,

Word, I wasn't even really talking about the sports reference though - that's just the cherry on top. What got me were the lines before it, and the fact that that whole thing is just like an intro piece.

Family Ties isn't about any one person in particular, but some parts are a combination of people. I honestly don't know who though, maybe someday Woods will say.

So this is the mixtape "Green Goblin" is also used for... really looking forward to the song with Spiega and Kong

Talking about those two, wasn't there some news about a year ago saying there's a new Reavers album in the making? Is that ever going to happen?

Weighting and Cyanide are incredible too. No one does weed sellin songs like Billy, Drought and Weighting are the shit...I just love that intelligent drug dealer typa steez.

Death from above too, didn't really catch Billy's verse at first but him and Spiega definitely kill it...did Spiega ever put out an album?

"Mini gun spin, pixilated people reap the whirlwind
Oh Lord who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thine aim"
LOL...no one has lines like Woods, maybe Doom used too.

So ill, Imma have these new joints on repeat for a while.

the really ill thing is that if u been a fan for a while u catch a lot of shit otha people wont

like opium scripts "paid in cash/gave her some gas/3am georgia ave/ camouflaged in clouds of grass/open bar safari/we all splash in pools olympic/open container castrol syntec

i just now got the camouflage refrence and obviousley 3am georgia ave is a song title on that lp


i aint guna lie tho, i be having to google a bunch a shit this nigga says. i still aint 100% sure wat that dfa verse is about, pilots in afghanistan?

To my understanding, no. I think there were preliminary moves to make it happen but it just didn't come together.

If the beats were done by the right people, I would cop a Spiega album without question. Everything he touched on Terror Firma was ridiculous.

unclebengi wrote:did Spiega ever put out an album?

No, unfortunately not... He didn't even release an EP on Mindbenda back around the time the Czars album dropped, where guys like Rodan, Kong or Gigan all had a little EP

there's a little fan-made collection of Spiega songs out there though (Forgive Them Father), basically a collection of most the appearances he made on the X-Ray albums, Reavers album, Kong album, etc...

Ravage once said Spiega's working on an album, but as usual I don't think that comment is worth anything (since he also said Rodan is working on new material)...

I think the best move for Spiega and Kong would be to sign with Backwoodz, especially since that MIC thing got messed up again, I don't think this group will make any progress any more...

hold up, aint trak 11 called "pawns"? on my copy of target practise it is.

Haitian Jack wrote:hold up, aint trak 11 called "pawns"? on my copy of target practise it is.

Correct, good catch. Both titles are appropriate I guess.

Billy's verse from Death From Above is definitely the shit. To write a verse from the perspective of a fighter pilot could come off real bad if not done right, but Woods not only puts you in the cockpit but taps into the psyche of the pilot. Kong and Spiega have nice verses, but they're not on topic like Woods. The vocal sample about war at the end is great too, anyone know who that is talking?

These 7 or 8 new songs have knocked everything else out of my listening rotation. Willie can you help us out with any timeline on when these unreleased joints were recorded?

Ha, yeah that's funny.

I think it's about unmanned drones, like Predators.

Yeah, I guess it easily could be, is there a specific part that makes you say that? Either way it puts you in the mind of the person pulling the trigger. I imagine this song was meant for the Terror Firma 2 project.

The Geppeto, joystick and video game references, combined with the "powered by Intel" line.

Obviously, it's probably pretty open-ended but that is my interpretation...for today, anyway.

Yeah, the Geppeto line makes it more clear, I think you're right.
