every fibre of me wants to like this.... but it really isnt that great IMO
OUCH! I am going to have to agree with Marlon. Smif-N-Wessun are as consistent as ever but Pete Rock is definitely past his prime. Honestly, after the production stylings of people like J Dilla and Black Milk, producers like Pete Rock who seem to rely heavily on loops are no longer at the forefront and production is THE REASON why I was excited about this release. "Chop-Shoppers" are able to hang with the times... that's why DJ Premier has still not faltered.
relying on loops? You do understand Black Milks are loops to. Thing is Pete Rock lets the artist make the song, Not entirely take over with a hot ass beat. A good artist can rock even the most simplistic of beats and make it sound hot with different rhyme schemes. Stop blaming producers.
It has it's moments...for example "roses" was fantastic along with "feel me" but it looks like tek and Steele only step up their games when they had guests on the track. Pete rock seems totally hit or miss with the beats seems like they were throw away beats bar a couple of them.
