Jesus christ, the album hasn't even leaked yet.  ::)

I'm not listening to this till the whole thing leaks or maybe even goes on sale. Got some extra cash now so I may well buy this.

Infact, I just pre ordered it. Can't wait.

If a track called Badlands is not included in the grouprip, I will up that the day I get it as it might be a UK only bonus track.

If by "cliche dre" you mean a dope ass Dre beat, then I agree  8)

not really. by 'cliche' i mean the strong piano element is trademark dre. certainly not a bad thing. but by 'nice' i mean its nice 8)

and some funkier drum sounds than dre normally goes for 8)
so far it sounds alright, but it's not amazing.

by the way, the drumsounds are very similar to the ones from Gorilla pimpin' 5008: it's like Dre didn't do the drums on this Raekwon song; the drums sound cheap.

Its like dre beats over shadow the artist ::)

I feel like that sometimes , I'm like I just listened to this artist just to hear a Dre beat.  8)

the track was made quite a while ago, so it's definitely not using dre's latest drum sounds. the bongo sounds is more something you'd hear on a quik beat though.

old or new, it doesn't sound like Dre.
more like something Mark Batson & Che Vicious would do.
i'm not saying Dre didn't do the drums, but Dre usually doesn't have such cheap sounds :P

The way people were swooning over this I expected to hear something which genuinely was the MC I heard on OB4CL but this is alright, it's nothing ground breaking, it's not classic, beat is ok, nothing particular innovative.

Doesn't sound like it was mixed by Dre, but I'm sure he couldve had his hands in this earlier on

same melody as eve's "what you want" from ruff ryders vol. 1 circa 1999, just slowed down a little bit.
