Song is good, but not that good. Let us wait what he is cooking up for the album

It's got big radio/crossover appeal.

Exactly! And he didn't dumb down his lyrics on it, at least not as much as some of these rappers do on their singles. I hope this cut still will make the album, cause otherwise the mainstream would definitely miss on a banger...

I agree. "City Lights" & "Grow Up" are my favrote songs Bishop has done so far except this reeeaallyyy erie song Dre did for him about a ouija (wee-gee) board on halloween.. (CRAZY)

I gave "City Lights" to Jimmy Iovine months ago when I took Vanessa Marquez up to see him & told him the same thing (along with Taje's mixtape & some of Mike Ant's stuff). Bishops whole camp is is like the Dogg Pound all over again. Mike Ant, Prime, Dae One, Diverse, JRK, Taje, Indef & the whole crew is dope!

what was Jimmy's reaction?

I wouldn't really call any of The Confessional leftover stuff. Seems to me Bishop & co. really put in work to put the tape together.

I agree totally that City Lights could've been album material, as could a lot of the songs on there and on his previous mixtapes. But since his track record with the mixtapes is as good as it is, I'm pretty sure Bishop won't disappoint with The Reformation.

I absolutely don't agree. ''City Lights'' was a good song, but nothing more than that...everybody's always talking about Bishops flow being too lazy, anyway on THIS track his flow is TOO LAZY and that's just a fact...the beat is dope but too similar to ''On Top Now'' and even ''I'll Still Kill''. And don't get me wrong i love DJ Khalil, but more the ''I Cant Figure It Out'' type of songs not this recycled shitty type of beats beat, though i have to admit the hook is very good.
