terence chill

  • Guest
After some listens in the car and in my headphones, some initial thoughts:

+ Beats are banging, Khalil brought the heat as usual, Chris Noxx' beats sounds very Khalilesque, Bink/Batson/Warren G/Focus & Paul Cabbin brought the heat on the boards as well.
+ Bishop is on his A-game. He took his sweet time with this one, but he's versatile, masters different flows, and lyrics are mostly on point. He's more original than most artists.
+ Bishop got something a lot of these self-righteous rappers lack; humour and self-irony. Usually you don't smile/smirk/laugh when listening to rap, but Bishop made me  :laugh: a bunch of times.
+ The guest list. Am I gonna complain about features from Ras Kass, Xzibit, RBX, Kobe, Warren G, Kokane or Apathy? Surely not. Some nice surprises as well, some artists I didn't hear about also brought some heat.
+ The album is somewhat coherent, but still brings some variation in theme/mood.



- The album starts out very strong, but from track 12, the quality is a bit below par, before getting stronger forwards the last tracks. Maybe it needs time to grow on me.
- The guest list contains some subpar features, which is kinda unavoidable with 31 features on a 18 track album (not counting the outro).
- 31 features might be a bit too heavy, took some lessons from The Game on this one..
- Being coherent is usually a plus, but some of the tracks might sound too similar..


nice review!

5. Shoot Em Up (feat. Caps & Prius Gang) (Prod. by DJ Khalil / Additional Prodution by Guns & Violence / Arranged by Sir Jinx & Xzibit)
6. Crazy (feat. Stat Quo) (Prod. by Chris Noxx)
7. Life or Death (feat. Xzibit & RBX) (Prod. by Paul Cabbin / Additional Production by Chris Noxx)
8. Lord in Heaven (feat. Kobe Killa) (Prod. by DJ Khalil)
9. Razor Blade (feat. Warren G & Kokane) (Prod. by Warren G)
12. Lost (feat. Sinead White) (Prod. by Sinéad White / Co-Prod. by Tariq Beats & Chris Noxx)
13. Dream Big (feat. Sinead White) (Prod. by Dame Grease)
16. Devil In My Way (feat. Daniel Seef & Lauren Pardini) (Prod. by DJ Khalil)
18. Un-American (feat. Ryu & Apathy) (Prod. by Paul Cabbin)

I pretty much find all of these joints to be decent to solid after hearing the album twice more, but even a few of these sound a little too similar and some of the hooks were a little bit too Eminem - Recovery / Slaughterhouse sounding-ish for me

overall I'm glad dude finally was able to drop his album (he proved me wrong this year) but with all the hype build up over the years it just didn't live up to expectations and so many leftovers would have been better in place of other tracks, I don't see this one having the same replay value that Nigger Noize and Confessional had at least IMO

if I caught this in a store for the low I'd probably snag it anyway
