And although this sounds good, i think its a little too derivative.
Where does the tribute end and the coattail riding begin?
Even the beats remind me of something else: the el michels wu tang renditions.
Its not hurting his publicity, but I can see a lot of people dismissing this as straight up biting. Then again - in the current post rapp climate, does the concept of biting even mean anything anymore?
Had this been reggae, no one would blink.
I'd be interested to hear nas' take on this.
Shit is still going into the mp3 player for a second tho.
Regardless, the production is Crazy and sounds incredible on repeat
Shit is pretty great. I dare anyone to not like this:
:feelin_it: X10
bonus vid: primo reacts to the will sessions renditions of his beats.
