Like, if you don't like any of their styles, I don't think you'll ever like them. But when it comes to actually writing a song rather than just piecing together hard verses, there's definitely a lot of progress since the first (and conversely, a lot of progress still to be done if they're just sending in verses to a producer still).
Actually, I was kind of a Royce stanley in high school when i first started loving hip hop. If you had asked me what some of my favorite albums were back then I probably would have said Death Is Certain. But, by the time Slaughterhouse became Slaughterhouse he had already gotten stale to me.... The kind of staleness that makes you forget what you liked about him in the first place.

Of course we all remember this topic
So we can see that Slaughterhouse was not completely hated among GAF HOP. PD proved himself to be the king of all hypocrites just like his daddy Nas by going back and editing his post here, but he gave it a pretty high review, like a 7 or 8/10.
Well there are like parties targeting black or hip-hop military.. and then there are clubs near the bases.

If I wasn't dealing with Americans like I am, I wouldn't need to stay as sharp as I do on the new new shit..
Ahhhh, that's cool. I imagine you're dealing with some crazy bored army 'yankees' over there haha

The hi hats on Torture are fucking amazing.

Lonely is fucking magic.

edit - Esch, Red 2 Go isn't a great song but Danny spits fucking hard on it. "Used to eat some shit that didn't match, corn beef and hash with a side of apple jacks". I don't know if you've ever been broke as fuck but that shit made me feel feels.

There are some great rappers who I find inspiring because of their technical ability and song writing. Like, maybe one day I could do that if I work hard enough or something. Danny is one of the dudes who just turns the game on its head and makes me say "I give up, I'll never be this good". I wonder if there are any rappers who feel this way, and I wonder who about.

Big Pun did that to Nas

I feel like you will like some cuts off the album. Despite it being Danny, i think some are surprisingly club ready maybe?

I have an Air Force buddy near Tokyo(I think?) and he's always telling me about how dudes wyle out down there.

I'll be honest, if I didn't know Dope Fiend, Torture, Wonderbread and Lonely were from the same person, I would've swore they were 3 different people at least. Holy shit. This is like a mixtape from one dude.

I want to get all Pitchforky on this album.

Danny is just impressive as fuck in every way at this point. He handles some serious topics and some lines are absolutely gut wrenching. Album is produced magically.

I remember my first time listening to XXX and getting to the second half and being like what happened to that other guy?

Triple beam dreams bought me nothing but nightmares
Thought that I was helping, but the system don't fight fair
Cases had me locked up, Momma always wrote me
Pops my only visit, they the only ones that loved me
That's why it feel bad, popping Davinci tags
Knowing that this tee could feed my nephew for a week
For material I'm weak, acting like I don't care
I spend it all on clothes, and something is wrong there
 
Didn't Just say in an interview or something that they were all in the studio for this new record? And not just sending verses like the last two?

With groups you need them in the studio. This new Wu record is gonna suck if they do the same thing and just email verses around. Same applies.

They were definitely all in the studio for the first album. They made it in like 2 weeks as a rush job to capitalize on the "supergroup" hype at the time.


Gotta hear this Danny album.

First listen over. Had zero expectations coming in. Danny Brown is hot/cold to me. I"m going to give it a couple more listens and when I'm not drunk, but this is easily the best record of the year on one listen. Totally shocking.

Ab Soul has officially smoked himself retarded though. Sad to see. He had so much promise.

I can't think of another album that's been unanimous on here. Maybe some classics posted about in hindsight, but a new release?

We got like 5 opinions total, mooooose is less than ecstatic, WanderingWind is iffy on it, half of GAF-Hop hasn't listened to it yet, and it's unanimous now? It's pretty parable to the Drake leak right now, first listeners are always super geeked.

Answer to your question is GKMC though.

EDIT: I read into mooooose's posts wrong, seems like he loves it too by recent posts.

How am I iffy on it brah? I just called it AOTY on one listen!

But yeah, it's not unanimous. But much better than I think anybody here expected

Quick review is Danny brings both sides of him to the table. Similar to XXX in that manner, but Danny has really stepped up his writing game (even on the 2nd half). Production is diverse and just terrific. I knew he would deliver, but this far exceeded my expectations.

No need to compare it to XXX as both stand out in all the right ways. Soul and ASAP didn't do that good though.

I don't mean insta classic, Ready to Die ain't shit no more.

Just great impressions all around. It's probably gonna contend with Doris for my #2.
 
HRD and Toku where are you

14 tracks in and Old is amazing. I'm glad I stopped listening to the shitty rip, the 320 one is out (for 12 tracks at least), and it sounds beautiful.

I will say that so far the Side B doesn't really have any tracks really impress me as much as Blueberry.
