Post by: SuperSpider on September 15, 2016, 04:39:30 PM: I did a quick skim through the tracklist and the features before listening to the whole album at a later point when I get the time.

First impressions: A lot of the beats were hella average for whatever reason; Soopafly and Snoop came through and dropped some wacc shit on a song they were both featured on; rest of the feats were mainly alright with Coniyac, Problem, Xzibit and Crooked I standing out. Tray Dee was on point as usual (as expected). All in all 5.5-6/10 for the project, not comparable to his previous efforts in any way.

P.S. That Outlawz track put me to sleep >:(

Title: Re: Tray Dee Dropping Solo Album - Release Date
Post by: WestWestYA on September 15, 2016, 05:30:29 PM: Dope Album, it's modern sounding with a mix of old west sound. weakest songs are outlawz garbage, problem song, and wack verse from dj quik.
album is no classic though just dope verses from tray deee. also the song G till the End was from his volume 2 mixtape.

HOPEFULLY Diirty OGz is better, also this album lacks good HOOKS!

Post by: Soopafly DPGC on September 16, 2016, 06:01:53 PM: Soopafly came correct on this one! Tray Deee was smart getting Soopafly to produce one of his joints and drop a fire verse. Soopafly production is getting rare these days. Hold Up! is a catchy song. Soopafly killed it, the other two guys on the track were ok, i can't remember who they are right now, but Soopafly dropped a great verse and production.
Title: Re: Tray Dee Dropping Solo Album - Release Date
Post by: Eddz on September 17, 2016, 01:12:55 AM: After a quick first listen album sounds pretty damn solid.

The thing that has gotten me excited about this project is the DPG & West showing unity for Tray Deee's album, seriously who would of thought in 2016 that we would get a Tray Deee solo album with features from Snoop, Kurupt, Soopafly, Techniec , Goldie Loc, Xzibit, Kokane, Crooked I & DJ Quik, with production from Fred Wreck & Battlecat. I'm pretty damn happy 8)

Title: Re: Tray Dee Dropping Solo Album - Release Date
Post by: Z the laidback Virus on September 19, 2016, 08:54:15 AM: I listened to a number of tracks.

Well, first off...gangsta rap is so utterly stale! Tray Deee is a very good rapper and has always been, but his subject matter has never been anything but obsolete gang talk and this album does not seem to be different (nor was I or anyone else expecting it to be, I am sure). Basically, what Tray Deee raps about in 2016 was already clichéd and played out when he recorded the first Eastsidaz album. Boring to the nth degree and unadventurous to boot! Granted, this is real in the sense that this is what Tray Deee's life is/was like but that does not make it anymore trite. Clearly, this is not just Tray Deee's fault (90's hold-out though he may be) but more generally that of the westcoast in general. Move on and take risks, rappers.

Now there's no denying the man can spit. Like I said, he's very good on a technical level and consistently so. To me though, this only exacarbates that he simply has nothing interesting to spit. A pity.

Bitch, snitch, gangsta, rich/
money, crime, doing time/
Played this card from the heart,
cause honestly/
those words are enough to sum you up Tray Deee/
show some growth and until then/
ya should've read some more while in the pen/
expand your vocab, extend your rap/
it's your D-I-C-tionary you ought to grab/
and then -perhaps- we'll see/
a truly Bigg Tray Deee/
who can really impress me verbally.

Now, the guests I heard all did their thing but can you blame them for not putting in a great effort? It is not as if Tray Deee was forcing them to adapt. I will say that I found most of the guests I heard to flow well, which may actually be because of our host here who is an effortless spitter and certainly has excellent flow. Unfortunately, his flow is always the same. It does emphasise to me though that Tray Deee is better suited to guest verses; they allow him to shine while he can not carry an album by himself (at least not with his normal/perpetual style). When listening to these tracks, you tend to yearn for something to break the monotony thanks to generally mediocre beats and Tray Deee's repetitiveness, his talent aside. By the way, I did not think Soopafly and Snoop performed poorly on their guest verses as so many people here seem to think. Besides, when was the last time we heard these two on the same track? That has grown into something to cherish.
As mentioned by other posters before, the guest list itself is nice and almost a welcome throwback. Even so, Tray Deee chose to surround himself with people who are basically westcoast relics like himself plus a number of (relative) nobodies plus Snoop and Crooked I, who may fall into one of those two categories anyway. There do not seem to be any guests who would have forced Tray Deee himself to step up his game and that is a pity.

So, generally speaking: boring and unmemorable but not because Tray Deee is a bad rapper per se, mostly because of him staying with his bread and butter and smearing it so thickly that it becomes difficult to digest.
