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) 8)

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.

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.

-
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.
-

true props

just did a bit of research, that mixtape is almost 2 yrs old, but good lookin still

The album's OK. Not as good as 'Hip-Hop' had me hyped to expect, but good. The guy is a raw lyricist, and with the right beats and some help crafting songs, he has crossover potential too - I can see why Dre was interested, although it wouldn;t surprise me if he never saw the light of day on Aftermath.
Best tracks on the album have to be 'Hip-Hop' and 'Brooklyn Bullshit' - nothing else comes close to those two, although it's all listenable.

nice album, you are certainly missing out on some classic material by not getting mobb deep, nas, wu tangs early work.
