So that new Casual album is atrocious huh?
I dare somebody to come in here playing contrarian role and tell me they listed to the 13 tracks I did and came away with it being a good album.
I'm the one who thought The Hierophant was one of the best albums last year. He Still Think He Raw is utter trash. Weak free beats, no direction, redundant topics and underwhelming as fuck collabos.
Yeah I'm a bit annoyed because Cas is a fav of mine. Damn homie.

Far from their best work but based off my first listen, the fault lies more with Casual. Like if Mistah Fab outshines you youre in a bad way, broProduced Entirely by Djfresh and The whole Shabang

Album is definitely worth a listen, some dope production and guests include Kurious, Jakki Da Motamouth, Phesto, Opio,Tage and Del.

Re: So that new Casual album is atrocious huh?
not yet gonna pick it up this week though
Re: So that new Casual album is atrocious huh?
I picked it up on Tuesday and it's a solid effort. For me it's on par with, maybe a little better than The Hierophant.
Here are a couple of the best tracks on there IMO:
http://soundcloud.com/naturesounds/casual-j-rawls-give-respect
Dope as hell although personally i think it gets a little confused and offbeat when it switches up in the middle
http://soundcloud.com/crds-radio/casual-and-j-rawls-emergency
(Kurious outshines Casual on this though)
This album had the potential to be a classic, there's just a few things that mark it down for me. I could do without Casual's penchant for the female soul singer hooks, which also blighted The Hierophant. It tends to change the whole dynamic of what would otherwise be a straight banger, and it sounds dated. His subject matter also sometimes sounds uncomfortable against the beat, E.G. there's a track on there called Craziest Story with a fucking awesome beat, but Cas kind of ruins it with some shitty rap about getting in trouble with wifey. If he'd rapped about anything, ANYTHING else - if he just spit a brag rhyme about being the greatest emcee - which is 80% of his back catalogue anyway - then this track would be fire, but as it is, it's just above average.
But I'm being harsh with my criticisms here, I rate it as a solid album and one of the best things I've picked up so far this year.
(I realise this opinion doesn't carry much weight considering it's a first post. Long time lurker, first time poster - i recognise one or two old Hoopla/DIY/VC heads on here )
