#1 on iTunes with an average rating of 4.5/5 as well  

guess all iTunes users are biased than a motherfucker too right? lol

if dude was signed to duck down or e one records do you honestly think he would've gotten these kinda ratings ?

Of course he would, it's Allhiphop and XXLMag, they're not just going to throw people good reviews for nothing. During the peak of G Unit's hype Lloyd Banks got an M in XXL because he released a sub-par album. Reviewers have more to lose by pandering to artists than they do to gain.

Too many cats on here think their opinions are the be all and end all of music, they can't understand their own tastes are either narrow minded or stuck in a dated box. Get out in the world and enjoy yourself, hear "Collard Greens" or "Man of the Year" in a club setting and you'll understand. Actually sit down and listen to the lyrics / story in "Hoover St" and "Prescription/Oxymoron" and you'll understand.

I get it if you don't like the music, that's fine, that's your opinion. But throwing other peoples tastes in the bushes just because they like something you don't is retarded, get off your own dick b.

no one's dissin' anyone's opinion homie relax it ain't that serious. I'm just sayin' had this release came out on somewhere else it wouldn't even be noticed. you brought up Lloyd banks but if g unit was in their prime that joint woulda got a xl. xxl has rated so many albums wrong good or bad it's a shame. Isaiah's joint is better but i don't see y'all discussin' him.

But Banks album was in G Units prime, it was right after The Massace and The Documentary and they gave it an L. It's the first big commercial hip hop release of the year and the first proper album from TDE since GKMC so of course it's going to get press.

Yeah that Isaiah album is definitely heatrocks, it got a massive reception at the other forum I post at now, I don't even know if it was mentioned here lol. "Brad Jordan", "R.I.P. Kevin Miller", "Heavenly Father" and "Shot You Down Remix" were some of the best joints I've heard in a long time. The last verse of "Banana" was insane. TDE got the best two projects of the year so far to me

Yeah breh, shit got slammed by critics, actually it came out after Mobb Deep and Yayo so was near the end of their run. But they still had a lot of influence.

Isaiah Rashad's joint was dope and I made a thread for it here in Outbound but it did go unnoticed and he's TDE so there goes that theory of "people only checking for it cuz it's TDE"

I been a fan of Q since i heard "Hands On Tha Wheel", that was before he was signed to Interscope. I think there's a lot of people here who have been his fans way before Kendrick got signed to Aftermath and Black Hippy signed with Interscope. Are they actually all signed as solo artists on Interscope now? Or is it just Kendrick and Q?

Just shows how the casual listener knows nothing about music


All these reviews of 4/5 - 4.5/5........so if Illmatic is your 5/5 .....this albums just a bit less good

Damn. Schoolboy Q  :odropped a 'nearly Illmatic' type album

I better start ghost riding his dick

says someone who judged albums after listening 2 songs on youtube  - how ironic 

That's judged not to listen to

Here's something that will really shock you: if I see a trailer for a film and don't like the look of it...I don't watch the film

i think hands on the wheel and they he go and Micheal Jordan were songs the mainstream were feeling and started to notice him all 3 r great songs

In March 2012, MTV reported that Top Dawg Entertainment closed a joint venture deal with Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment. Under the new deal, Kendrick Lamar's debut studio album, good kid, m.A.A.d city would be jointly released via Top Dawg, Interscope and Aftermath, while releases from the rest of Black Hippy would be released by Top Dawg and Interscope, respectively

I can honestly say I've been checking for him since '08 when he punked 40 Glocc but I didn't really start bumping him until 2011ish when he dropped Setbacks

after seeing him live a few times that also made me fuck with the music more, actually going to his show on the 6th here in New Haven

u just contradicted yourself  cuz so in such a case u should keep ur mouth shut do not discuss album u did not listen then or maybe u talking about movie and how it is based upon trailers
