Damn, almost done with it all the way, this shit is just plain crazy!  If this were "The Reformation" i would have been satisifed!  This album is the shit plain and simple.  I also love how they decided to drop the DJ tags, hopefully we'll get the untagged "N*gger Noise" soon.

ok had a chance to bump this and if this is a glimpse of what is to come then its looking real good, maybe incredibly good, for music next year. here's some opinions on the tracks on this street album but i will be bigging bishop up quite a lot. imo he is pretty much the best upcoming mc when considering music quality, rhyme skills and entertainment value. obviously, he's repping westcoast rap too! i know a lot of poeple have a similar opinion too. ok...

intro - just an intro track, but surprisingly its produced by dr dre! is dre waking up from hibernation at last? all signs would indicate he is definitely in the process of coming back into the mainstream music scene. some booming beat kicks in over the skit and there's some smooth singing, pretty cool. yeah this is not a dr dre classic or anything, its just a basic, funky, g-funk styled backdrop, kicks pretty hard. its annoying that dre is dropping really quickly thrown together stuff at the moment but thats clearly what it is. this material is being put out for fun, i would make 0 presumptions from this in particular on the doc. when bishop comes with his single i think it might just be a little better than this...this aint even a teaser...

personal chauffeur - dark, slow, spacey sounding track from dj khalil. kind of a dark nursery rhyme feel to it with the singing and bishop splits up the beat by emphasising each syllable. a creepy flow, you can imagine busta on this kinda vibe. equally creepy pimped out/gothic style lyrics. excellent track, khalil definitely dropping heat.

shittin on fools - uk producer dready beats gives a frantic beat with plenty of loud effects and an underlying westcoast clap. bishop spits some energetic lyrics and breaks it down with a more raw flow. deff a track you can dig.

its funny - when you can get super producer teddy riley to drop a beat for a mixtape track its looking good. westcoast club vibe here. instant head nodding going down, should definitely be played real loud for the big booming drums. bishop does his normal thing for these tracks - hating on wack rappers and loving himself plenty. very good track.

yeah pimp - the usual focus feel - minimal melody and a deep bassline - real relaxing sounds and bishop pulls out plenty of vocab with some quick rhymes. laid back.

i just want the money - normal eastcoast sounding soulful sampled beat from 9th wonder. bishop shows he can keep flipping the rhymes on a variety of beats. chilled out again and some pimpin lyrics again.

street theology - more serious track, nice slow groovy piano loop and bishop speaks on the haters and taking it the top in general. solid.

so sad - real interesting sound from danja, downbeat and spacey with bishop talking on hardships again. smooth track.

all i dream about - scott storch with simple funky track like a lot of his westcoast productions. bishop rides the beat really nicely. instant head nodder with the solid production. bishop with some typical off the wall and pimped out lyrics showing he is still keepin in fun and having some laughs 'my porn star name is smackula, bram stroker'.

sumthin' - storch provides the beat again, this time a hard club banger. bishop obviously knows how to get some pretty damn good material off scott. bishop does a smoother style on this deliberate club track. hopefully he don't go for this style too much on the album and is still able to do his harder flows on the more mainstream tracks. this track is pretty spacey again and has those normal storch drums hitting hard. with some extra production or maybe that dre touch a track like this could be real big.

rappers wanna sing - nottz bringing a crazy beat for this one, mad production. he got that retro crackly sound going on with some seriously spacey/funky riffs. some big chords drop with a big bassline. bishop gives a laid back funky rhyme. a track you can bump.

i always knew - another track on coming up from bishop. smooth enough and well done.

music shit - another funky, laid back production from scott storch. old school story telling vibe going on with the rhymes and a nice vibe. solid again.

sometimes - storch gives up a beat where he plays more than a few chords on the piano and its smooth. more soulful track on a hip-hop loop, bishop fits in nicely with more serious rhymes.

anyway - production is almost experimental - focus make a real minimal soundscape with just chords and a low rumbling sound. bishop raps on the future of hip-hop a little and wraps it up on the seriously laid back vibe.

overall dope mixtape. this is probably better overall than most albums we've been seeing for a while. its obvious that bishop is getting his shit together and being on the team with the doctor is just part, although a real important part, of it. he's putting seriously good projects together and putting them out for free, making other rappers looks bad almost. realistically though he wouldn't be selling many records if he wasn't building himself this way and putting out stuff well in advance of his main project. it looks pretty definite that bishop will be coming out big next year. he will do very well because of the dre backing and dre himself won't be following up with no dodgy stuff either. 'should' almost certainly be a real good year. peace.

[Lunatic]

the only possible complaint i can think of is i really wish bishop rapped over that dre beat

[TRG]

has anyone else noticed that Dre beat is the same beat used for the Obie Trice skit on Devils Night
