This like watching spades or dominos without a fight and some light cursing but no shots at anyone’s personal life. For how much hip hop has been leaning towards negativity, or just general fuckery in the mainstream, these 2 are managing to make this classic type of hip hop feel and sound refreshing. 2 legends, veterans, masters coming together to bring you food with the medicine. Great pacing, great vibes, and just great messages through Common’s experiences. The storytelling honestly put me in a time machine and made me want to listen more. You even get a bunch of treats on here like Pete Rock spitting a verse or some of your favorites getting cut up on the ones and two’s. Old heads and elder heads rejoice. This top tier cookout tunes! In rotation.
