Sounds like something a horrid rapper from Canada would like.

disagree.
it sounds awful.

sounds like the sounds a mid-80s video game system would make while it stayed home sick from school and masturbated when no one was home.

lif is okay on it though.

dope. beat and lyrics, IMO.

Not an El-P or a Mr. Lif fan, but I like this. The beat is fun.

No mix up. I am him. Either way, I don't think El-P produced this.

this is pretty good. i'm a big fan of lif when i listen to one song at a time, but i never can sit through a full album.

Renders the whole thing unlistenable.

Beat is crazy, but I dunno if there's enough room for Lif on it. Maybe if they'd mastered it a little differently 'cuz the two components are wild, but it's tough to hear Lif.

RAZAH CUTZ · Post by **RAZAH CUTZ** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 3:25 pm

it's a lil' different....

not as good as the beat Statik Selektah made with the samples from the Mike Tyson Punchout game, but it's aaaight....

I like Lif's shit man...always have....always flows strong, and doesen't worry about the beat carrying him....

Mr. Lif-The Sun:

on itunes and listen to it here:

I guess he didn't quite make the whole "1 track a week" thing happen. But this is dope regardless.

hell0maryjane · Post by **hell0maryjane** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:42 am

imma pass. but mr lif is doin his thing.

i almost always like el-p's style but i dont think that they both compliment eachother on this specific track. haha but a certain part of the beat DOES remind me of super mario brothers. thats a lil dope

i am intrigued about the album though

Sucka Ducka · Post by **Sucka Ducka** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 2:39 am

I quit paying attention to Lif a long time ago...same for El-P. Either way, I am feelin' this actually.

synth is mixed too high for me, but noooooooooot bad...

The beat could have been decent if they would have flipped it into funk instead of trip hop ... I don't hate it or think it's weak, just a little too much purposeful distortion like the producer was TRYING to be innovative ... Hiphop producers don't need to try so hard to do something innovative, they just do without trying, and it's extremely easy to feel the greatness in their art ...

Thought the track was dope on every front.

So if it isnt El...does anybody know who's on production?
