This song couldn't be more out of place on this compilation
Not to say everything else on this is wack because it's far from it...but this is a such a cut above everything else on it.
Actual personality, insane rhyme schemes, beat actually knocks outside of headphones.
Thats my last real NY rapper brehs

Dunno. GKMC is more aggressive than Section80 and overall lacks a lot of the jazz and r&b vibes that album had. Overall TPAB's tone is more in line with Section80; a lot of that "jazz shit," as Pharrell would say. Sonically it reminds me of a variety of albums, specifically the great r&b records of the 70s and 80s. Back when r&b was actually rhythm and blues, consisting of nearly every form of "black music" plus other stuff. There was far less of the concept of "oh he's mixing everything together, it's swell!" I doubt many people listened to Innervisions and said that at the time, whereas now a lot of mainstream music is probably less expansive than the days of Stevie Wonder and Prince. I noticed many similar comments about Black Messiah, which feels like the closest modern album to TPAB sonically.
The keyboards and sax on These Walls sound exactly like 70s Stevie Wonder shit, for instance. Speaking of which this is another reason why the Kanye comparisons fall away. On the surface you could say both albums mix a variety of genres I guess, but then again they just seem like different creative processes. There's a real jam session feel to TPAB, with some of the best musicians in the business throwing ideas around with a lot of creative freedom. A lot of the keys on the album are basically Robert Glasper just doing what he wants, for instance. I can't really think of many cases of that with a Kanye album since Late Registration. Even Dark Fantasy feels rather restricted to verse-chorus-verse-chorus structures. I'm listening to Devil In A New Dress right now, and it's one of the few Kanye tracks that goes in a different direction in terms of the bridge/guitar solo.
I don't mean any of that as a criticism of Kanye, just saying his style is different.

That shit was COMEDY. A few could've passed for legit verses in all honesty.
Yeah, I might have to call this the best joint that's not Tuxedo. Slowly going through the MMG catalog and I have those 2 Mandela volumes up next

Cruisin through the winter in a winnebago, put my name at Einstein so I might win a bagel. Blast the tech rapid like a shaken Faygo, stack the money tall, bricks like Lego. Coke money, stashed work chillin in an a hole, Mafioso Thug never seen a day slow.
Creeping Thug, silent killer, peep the slug, long caterpillar. Drive the stolen Fiat to the key spot. European steez, check the steez we got. Keep the heat steady like a Teapot.

Easy to imitate, impossible to match technically. That's Roc's style.
But then I wish that was the beat they'd given Roc. Man he'd have bodied it.

Just found that thread. Goddammit I'm dying here
I haven't heard the full album yet but that track showed up on SC and I'm pretty sure Bones appears twice on it. Unless it's a fake or something.

i definitely wouldn't prefer that by any means, but I think he could do a good job
i have no idea what to think of the album now since he was teasing mood music again the other day
who knows
could just be the token radio single
here's the deal, give us another mixtape and you can make a pop album and get that mula
edit:
i'm on electric body now, Ye coming up next

I've always thought this track was absolute flames. Like a lost 90s classic that resurfaced in 2012.
Wanderlust Remix comparisons are pretty spot on. Reminds me of Kissland, period, which is a good thing IMO. Really liked that album.
Is that picture for real? If so, who split his wig?
Track is dope as hell, btw. He is sounding like who Miguel wishes he was.
