Flygod is an excellent album.

This dude makes sick music. Listening to Hitles Wears Hermes II right now for the first time....these beats are disgusting. I'm guessing Daringer produced them, can't seem to find the production credits anywhere.

As far as Gunn, his lyrics are raw and he doesn't hold anything back. I get the feeling that he isn't fake and has lived the shit he is rapping about. He isn't using large vocabulary and is basically spitting braggadocious shit the entire time, but his flow is steady and that audacious shit is entertaining to listen to.

I've listened to Flygod about 20 times since I first heard it on Monday.

This album is amazing. The mood/sound is on another level. The sample on the track with Droog - I can zone out to that piano all night long.

I feel like this album is the representation of what underground hip hop is all about. Raw beats and MCs just spitting some real shit. This dude Gunn isn't fucking around. Been a while since I heard an album I've liked this much. Last one was probably that City Under the City or the Durag Dynasty album. Or Reloaded.

Lol, dude was born in 88... Did a couple bids man, drugs and guns. He actually went to Pratt or something for like a year, studied fashion.


Album is dope. Heard about half of these joints via soundcloud; really digging the overall tone of the joint. Daringer is that dude on the boards, for real.

br0, how are you going to leave out the details of when you met MP (of Rebels To The Grain), DJ Lord Ron, and DJ LuMan?
You can't have this fascinating story incomplete only discussing the specifics of yoar relationship with Black Leggo.

Anyhoo, got the album today, looking forward to hearing it.

I think I heard Rozewood mentioned in there. Wonder if any of this has to do with Jazz occasionally dropping pointed asides on twitter about Roc knowing exactly who's eating in his footsteps and letting them do it.

Hope this kid doesn't too get gassed of a fairly small amount of niche buzz and Troy Duffy himself

All these dudes are clearly influenced by Roc. They're still dope, but it's obvious they're trying to sound like him.

yeah its clear as day he mentioned the 4 main artists affiliated with the Winners.. he mentions Hus, Mag, Smoovth and Roze in that order. He mentions Hus first, then Mag for wearing sandals, claims Smoovth is cool cause he claimed he didn't want it in the DM, tells Roze to polish his chain.

Apparently it started from some twitter comment Hus made and Conway apparently had an issue with.... some petty bullshit

Image
SmooVth immediate reaction

Image
This is the "supposed" interaction between Hus and Conway

Image


And yep I got all this bullshit from another forum :sherlock:
