This is a producer album, and it does what it tries to do very well.
Mayor is a pretty new artist and already is easily one of the best israeli hip hop producers of all time, and for sure the best sampler, obviously a lot of DOOM influence but with the old israeli clips, it really works really well
For the production alone, in the context of Israeli hip hop especially, I'd give it maybe 100, however I think the rappers in Israel are almost always just not as good as the producers lol

He is a very charismatic and interesting artist, the live shows for this album were amazing, the lyrics are very personal and no one has really done anything like it in Israeli hop hop so he has to get credit for creativity
unfortunatley the production is not the strong side of this album, the beats are fine but not amazing, a pretty electronic vibe
there are definitely some catchy songs on this album, my favourite is for sure הבנשל אבאשלי but the more low key songs will not hold ... read more
An absolute masterpiece. Matti Caspi is a genius composer, one of the best in Israeli music history. He played almost all the instruments himself (!!)
הנה הנה, יום שישי חזר, ברית עולם, לא ידעתי שתלכי ממני are just amazing, I would highly recommend anyone to listen to this album for the production alone, if you speak hebrew it's even better because the lyrics were written by Ehud Manor, Dalya Rabikovich, Tirtza Atar etc and are great
It's pretty unique in the Israeli hip hop landscape just by how agressive it is, I saw him live last year and it was one of the best concerts I've been to in Israel
Songs like כפר שלם, פוסישםעליךז and of course בת שרמוטה are huge bangers, and there are a few misses like הם לא, בלנסיאגה, לא בסדר which are just kind of boring (although live everyone screams everything loud enough that it goes hard)
Overall decent beats, really loud and not very deep in ... read more
This is an absolute classic from the Israeli Kanye. I would say listen just from songs 2-7 for a 9.5/10 experience, the rest are weak live versions of good songs from other albums/a couple of just weird ones, I'm pretty much only talking about those good ones below
The production is pure Israeli 70s, it's very bass heavy and his voice is iconic, a couple of them like בטי בם בם and רוצי שמוליק feel a bit like children's songs, in בטי בטי בם I would even say it can be a ... read more
It's full of all time classics, but it's definitely more than just the hits, his singing voice in the choruses is really what makes it
My favourites were Many Men and Heat
If it would have been cut down to ~45 minutes and only left with the best it would have been easily 90+
