agreed. It's good but so far not particularly amazing. Not done yet but it doesn't really compare to his previous projects
edit: Gateway to Wizardry hnnngggg
That track stood out to me too

looks more like Frank Khalifa
he just phoned in a top 5 of the year album like 2 weeks ago so na
havent heard it, but that verse was weak
Sean p? Looool album was so mediocre. And I waited years for it too.
It had a few multi-syllabic Kool G Rap esque bars, so I really think you're wrong.
The album didn't have the best production so it was an automatic fail for you...But Sean P's bars are fantastic on it, you know like if you understood rapping and shit.
see this is what I meant by crackheads
Y'all serious? Pretty sure gaf hop consensus is that it's average.
is it?

I've seen nothing but praise from most people here.
C'mon man. When that dropped there was zero gaf buzz. This album came out a few years late. It's not bad. But it's not great either.
yeah i didnt wanna say that but i was seeing sean price live and killing it in like 07-09, and then....
i know, i need to just hear it.
I forget what it was called, but he dropped like a prelude to mic Tyson tape like 4 years ago and I bumped the shit out of that. Now, not so much.
the beats are dope and it makes me wanna get into fights. there's a deficit of that in the market breh
edit I'm not listening to guys like P for concept songs. I'm looking for that rappity rap fight death fuck shit

I think you must of missed a page or two peter lol. There were definitely people feeling it, I recall PD saying the beats were mixtape quality but he came around on it and I remember Domino saying it makes him want to kill somebody so he can't listen to it or something like that lol, but besides that, all positive things.
I remember that domino post. I just chalked it up to it prob being the first grown man album he's ever listened to.

Mic Tyson is good but it has nothing on Monkey Barz or Jesus Price, I can see why people would call it phoned in, it didn't have a single concept song on the entire album whereas Monkey Barz had dope shit like this

It does seem like the effort put into Mic Tyson was a lot less

Not weak but almost half the beats feel like mixtape stuff, and not the good kind. But it has enough bangers to make it dope
Pretty much what I was saying. Flow and delivery were good, but he raps about nothing and the beats were average.
Hell yeah. Thanks.
Real talk while that shit is nice especially the first track, Mic Tyson is just more straight to the point to what I really want to hear. Like you don't listen to Spitta for personal introspection and political rap. I listen to Sean P for that grown-ass man battle boombap and Mic Tyson delivers that relentlessly. BarBarian is a prime example of a track with no filler, Sean P as the unadulterated personification of Mic Tyson in rap form.
That's totally fair. I love certain types of rap for different reasons, shit just didn't click with me for whatever reason.
spot on 100
That's how I feel about chief keef.

Post of the day. There's such a variety of rap that it makes no sense to expect the exact same thing from everyone. I don't know any other rappers that are as aggressive as Sean P in terms of rapping about punching people lol Sometimes I need to hear something that gets me hype. Mic Tyson has multiple tracks that do that.
Just like I don't listen to Roc Marciano for a bunch of introspective lyrics; I listen to him for dope, visual lyricism and grimy beats. I listen to Spitta for some chill shit, not because I want to know what it was like growing up in NO or how he feels about politics.
Some artists are more one dimensional than others. Obviously Roc, Sean P, Spitta, etc are more than capable of more depth but I wouldn't fault them for not showing it as long as the music is high quality. They all have lanes that they dominate.
personally I think its the demand for the Swiss army emcee that's created the type of formulaic album everyone's so tired of, a little bit of everything type pandering shyt. kind of like the opposite of the 00s where everyone stayed in their lane at the cost of their careers almost

Eh, even if that's how yall feel, I do think it's a valid criticism because Sean Price as an artist himself has shown multiple times he has more depth to him in his previous albums with concept songs. I can understand if he just handled his albums like this since day uno, but when you do it multiple times then drop an album like this incredibly straight forward, it's really easy to see how one is disappointed by the fact he decided to not show depth to his album.
Edit: Sorry wrong Sean P.
