Eminem signs WSG/Conway to Shady/Interscope Records

[gusty wingers]

I was really feeling Chef Dreds. The 2020 Criminology.

[Y@k Bollox]

I really like this. Beats are dope. Having it spread between all three of them works well, whole albums of Conway or WSG get tiresome. 50 Cents cameo is fine, more a hook than a verse. And great move tacking the Eminem feature on at the end to keep him happy.

[Monotonous]

I'm only a few jams in but this is exactly what I was hoping it would be up to this point.

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Pretty good. Lot better than I thought it would be. Beats are the standout here. Daringer's great but what took this to the next level was the contributions from Butcha and the mastering by Sancho. West & Conway get boring throughout but Benny showed why he's top 5 in the game. Came out as about as good as I think it could have at this stage.

[Comedy Quaddafi]

Really pleased with the album. All I wanted from this was dope beats and decent raps and it totally delivers. Daringer has put out a lot of wack or at least boring beats in the past few years, esp on recent releases by Conway and Benny, and this is a real return to form.

Reading a bit around the internet its interesting to note that the consensus here, that WSG and Conway are kinda wack now, seems to be a minority opinion. I get the impression everyone else thinks they're as good as ever... but then a lot of people are creaming themselves when Conway rhymes "ki of coke" with "speedboat" or whatever. Guess younger rap fans tend to be very easily impressed having grown up listening to barely intelligible mumbling and shouting instead of actual rapping

Benny shines. I can see where that consensus is coming from regarding WSG and Conway.

Yeah, same. But you can't really compare us guys with the proles on places like Reddit.

A few listens in now. I really like it. That Eminem verse though - Jesus. Never been a fan but he is literally unlistenable now.

[stype_ones]

Beats sound dope upon first listen. Few joints I was really feeling but the 2019 drug rap thing is great for me in spurts but over and over it gets boring pretty quickly. Will bump more times for a final verdict. Still better than most shit these days.

[EichTurner]

this shit is ill. great performance by all three...

[sleazy_j]

beats are dope, rhyme schemes are dope, voices are dope

but maybe I'm just getting old to where i really don't find it that appealing all these songs of being untouchable criminals on wax with no sign of versatility for an entire album just gets boring to me.

plus, just like 50 Cent, Conway got shot. how you gonna rap about being the killer when you're the one who got saved by a team of doctors?


anyway, here have a video of Conway rapping 12 years ago

[gusty wingers]

cool to know his name comes from goodfellas character jimmy conway aka jimmy burke aka robert deniro, never knew that

[Monotonous]

I've given this a few listens now. I really like it.

May Store is fucking raw beyond belief. I keep playing this one on repeat. It's nasty.

Bang is unlistenable.

Cruiser Weight Coke is probably my second favorite jam.

Benny slays this all over up and down front to back.

[Y@k Bollox]

No samples used apparently.

No samples used apparently.

Read that as well. Assume Daringer would pick samples, and Butcha would just recreate them.

[dubs]

I have to admit...i was late to the party...and im really fn with their whole movement they got goin. Kinda glad i was :late: ...because i had alot of good stuff to explore.

[mud]

Same^

Album of the decade.

[Gyangsta 4 Life]

Late as well. Benny my new fav rapper. The other two are deadweight and he knows it. They were just a means to get on.

They live by lessons I put in a verse
A leader is a boss who still put in the work

Nightmares of agents combing thru my recent raps
They gon’ try to match the dates up and piece it back!
