Not really feeling this that much.
Sounds like he's been spending all his time being a father, and listening to 80's metal.

I like this album a lot. Here's my write-up: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/chocolate-g ... imy-awards

There's a full album stream at the bottom of that for all who haven't listened yet. For the hell of it, the post also includes links to classic videos by all of the guests who appear on this album.

This was better than I expected it to be. Don't know if it'll be something I'll ever listen to more than a couple times, but I felt it was a solid throwback rap album. A lot better than any of the throwback ish from kids that were born in the '90's that's been coming out recently.

Used to really follow Bill. Enjoy most of his work from the early Non Phixion through The Hour of Reprsial. He lost me over the last few years though with the Muggs album, the Vinnie Paz album, and his latest LCN project. Bumped this not expecting much but was really surprised. Don't know where this ranks among his post Non Phixion work, but it's more than solid. He over does it at times like on Exploding Octopus and Forty Duece Hebrew, but overall, lot of great songs on here. Both this and Czarface album were encouraging.

Agreed. Went overboard on the tribute. Fuckin hook is dedicated to the guy producing the song. Would have rather had Prim just scratch it...

Kinda how I feel. I never listened to Ill Bill much aside from Non-Phixion. Not that he was bad; just never caught my eye with some of the other stuff as much. But this album was well done at the end of the day.

album is aight, kinda forgettable despite the hip-hop junkie all-star production list.

that o.g. version of "when i die" is the shit though. shit is real and if you know the history of bill and uncle howie it's some good shit.
