First off thanks
Second of all....
Woah, is it just me or did amplive go waaaaaaaayyyy overboard on the beats. This sounds like a remixed lil wayne song, wow, seriously what happened to zion I.
I mean, some of the beats are good, but wow I was just not expecting this at all. Holy crap I'm getting old.
WOW, ok, I listened to it fully once.
And I'm calling you all out as hypocrites. I'm guessing none of you like lil wayne. Well I'm sorry but some of these songs sound way much like weezy. We all know zumbi has the whiny voice going on but he definitly amped up the whine in this album and went from the relaxed style like in Trippin to the very short, choppy, emphasized, multiple internal rhyme, lil wayne style.
On the other hand, amplive has some good beats as always. He has gotten a lot more skilled and complex but also has gone waaaaaaaayyy too 2009 computerized. I'm hearing robot voices in this, really? I have to say I like the African drums and generally the beats sound better than most club stuff but still is club and whack. Theres no need to repeat the same shitty verse over and over again just let zumbi rock the mic.
This album is such a trip! Nothing like any other Zion I album. Im still undecided. I love amplive and I think hes doing very creative things, on this album and his solo stuff. Most of it is super sick, with the exception of a few tracks.
Kinda reminds me of when Blackalicious released The Craft... Just a totally different sound and feel.
thanks brah
