So relaxing. Didn't really pay much attention to it while listening but, for this album, I guess that works too.
THIS SHIT IS FUCKING BATSHIT INSANE
From RZA to U-God's opening verse to Inspectah Deck's follow-up to Ghostface's madness...
RAW IMMA GIVE IT TO YA
I KILLED YOU IN A PAST LIFE

fucking amazing. such a vibe. i could do without a certain line in q's last verse, though.

Refreshing! I don't know if I've just been avoiding the good hip-hop releases lately, but I do not feel as if anybody has been releasing shit like this lately. ... read more
Insanely spooky, beautiful and gut-wrenching - both Beth Gibbons' haunting vocals and the chilling instrumentals contribute. Well-sequenced too. I used to have an issue with this album, as it didn't smack me in the face nearly as hard as the industrial elements on Mezzanine did, hence why I loved - and still love - that album. This offers something different though, as it's more lowkey in tone. Mezzanine = wild, in your face. Dummy = silently haunting, saddening.

"@Karma413 I get you, but I'd like my favorite rapper to back the claims up. If Jay Z said it (although he wouldn't, not his typa bar), the bar would have an easier time winning me over, because his penmanship IS ridiculous. But still, I just find the word choices to be sorta wack, but that might just be me."
