straight fire! the whole album is! :firedevil:

i dont even know what my favorite cut is. either, How Can It Be, Say Goodnight, All In One (5 Mics) or Next 2 Me. but theres SO many other dope tracks on this.

all we ever hear on this board is Game, Nas, TI & Cube for album of the year. i think yall need to replay this one before yall make a final decsion. ;)

I agree 100%. I find it mind-boggling that the majority of discussions on here revolve around whatever rap music the mainstream media tell fools to listen to, while the underground shit like Reks is by-passed. This album is fucking amazing.

yeah, but what im trying to say is that since it isnt commercial that shouldnt mean it doesnt get an album of the year nomination. even though the Grammys would never, just this board saying it was is good enough.

finally heard this album. pretty damn solid, top 5-10 releases of the year. my only beef with it is many of the tracks sound the same and since its a long album, it gets a bit repetitive at times.

I hadn't heard of Reks until a couple of months back after this album dropped. I believe it was Say Goodnight that I checked out because I saw that it was produced by Premo & I always check out his joints. I listened & thought that he made it a dope record so I went on youtube to check if there was any videos. I listened to one or two songs & decided they were dope enough for me to download & check out Reks' album. I've been bumpin the Grey Hairs album a lot & definitely feel that it is one of the best albums this year if not the last 2-3 years. This album will definitely be slept on by most but it is getting a lot of praise(which it deserves). This album is a welcome change to what Hip-Hop has gradually become. Props for starting this thread Chamillitary. Hopefully more people are urged to check this album out. Undoubtedly a great album.

props to you for checkin it out. ;)

i was feelin this album when it dropped & i felt all the credit was just going to the big names. Game, Nas, T.I., etc.

guys like Reks & Immortal are droppin heat & some of the dopest shit in the streets; i feel they deserve just as much credit as the big names (if not more), even if there not selling like them.
