three tracks in the Madgibbs album's just as good as their EPs and probably the most fruitful combo of Lib and an MC since... yeah. And the most jawdropping thing is that I actually enjoyed a Danny Brown guest spot. I know, right?! I was expecting to find the DB, Rae, and Black Hippy and OF associate guest verses to be a major deterrent to enjoying the album, and the rest might be, but the fact that Brown actually impressed me bodes very well for the rest of the album. It's already the best RYM best-album-of-the-year hip hop album of this decade by a wide margin.
e: oh and Mac Miller's here, too. ugh that does not make me anticipate the second half of this record despite how good the first half is.
ee: "Shame" and "Watts" threaten to muck the whole thing up at the end but the title track has the best production on the album and, even with the presence of Mac Miller, is among the best posse cuts since "Proteck Ya Neck II the Zoo." There's just something about a bunch of MCs who either get shat on as weedcarriers or that no one will ever hear from again just ripping shit up like their lives depended on it.
