Joell Ortiz - Brick-Bodega Chronicles Album (This 1's For You Dream_Shatterer)

[Lunatic]

Damn, I ain't a big fan of n.y. (mostly because i haven't taken the time to listen to alot of there music, mostly because hate the production). I do plan to listen to nas, mobb deep, wu-tang, etc. catalogs one day, but since this dude is on aftermath my interest was high, so i checked this album out today.

And WOW it's REAL good. Only knock on it is production (on very few tracks as well). Production ruins the 1st 2 tracks, and it's too bad because Joell spits heat on them. brooklyn remix, caught up, night in my p's, hip-hop, modern day slavery, 125 connections, block royal, keep on callin, and time is money are FIRE. First 2 tracks I already explained, and BQE is alright along with brooklyn b.s, Latino is only wack song on album (ain't hatin on the latinos, just don't feel the track), and 125 the finale has same problem as the 2 openers.

This is in my top 5 of the year so far.

All in all, GREAT album. Can't wait for the aftermath album (THAT BETTER DROP)

this mixtape has been in my car for the past 2 weeks non stop.  Its got that old school NY feel to it.  Dope production, dope guest spots, Joell Ortiz does his thing, in this day and age you cant ask for more.

it's not a mixtape, an album nah?

all original beats, on Koch label, got a video out that's gettin play on bet and shit, seems more like an album

agree with everything you say though

Props Luni, glad to see your gettin on your East Coast shit, and yeah Joell Ortiz is one our brightest spots right now, with that real hip-hop style that focuses on the lyrics. Great emcee and he's been able to separate himself from the many other NY "mixtape rappers."  I gotta agree with the opinion that it's got more of an album feel than Return of the Mac, and he's on Koch too, it's in stores that don't carry mixtapes. I'm just glad a rapper that is getting mainstream exposure is trying to "bring back' hip hop if ya feel me.

125 pt. 2 is my favorite song, along with modern day slavery.

[Fuck Your Existence]

[Grown Ass Kid]

i thought that intro beat was hot, hip hop was stupid, brooklyn bullshit was tight tho

Yeah, 125 pt. 2 is fuckin' sick. Good album.
