This the hip hop that them elder heads want to be alive so bad. I’m not mad at it but i’m ok with this being in the past as well. This project is the boom bappiest of boom baps, simple hooks, loops, sonics, and raps. Its not bad but nothing is reinventing the wheel or even getting close to the standard, this like taking a picture of an old picture on an iphone and adding a film grain to it. We get it, its vintage. The contrast is ok, they all just sound like old school rappers, the mix is ok, and the beats are ok. Again nothing bad or crazy just felt like it tried really hard to sound like it was done in the late 80’s. Its got some fun to it, scratching and all that but you cant help but think, some modern tweaks would have made this sound even better whether it was a flow, cadence, something with the mix, it all leaves allot to be desired. Regardless tho, its solid, block party cookout jams that will confuse people for not knowing it. In rotation.
