I actually purchased on iTunes so yes, it's officially out. Hardcopies next week from what management told me few days back. Touch Of Soul is my shit, overall dope album. Haven't listened to it enough yet to rank it up in his catalog. Definitely behind You Should Be Paying Me but ahead of most of the rest upon first few listens.

yup. man, i was gonna sample 'you cant stop the rain' and he got to it before me, sampled the exact same shit i wanted to sample, even sampled the same shit on the chorus i wanted. was mad as fuck.

solid mixtape but im waitin for check a real nigga out tho, which is supposed to be his solo album. we done had lem-thurdy mixtapes...its time for a full solo album. sometimes i be wonderin if he drop so many mixtapes cuz his album effort aint producing shit as ill as 'you should be paying me'. itll have to be real dope to top that.

either way im supporting his releases and ill be copping the album. still gotta soak up been grindin but its got alot of good songs, i like it better than his last mixtape for sure for sure.

those slow soulful jazzy beats are the best beats for blow. hed almost be perfect for a tonite show album if fresh went back to his old shcool tonite show beats...like the beats that sounded like some night-time-early morning wake up beats. lately he aint been rockin them beats the same as the oldschool tonite shows.

yea i downloaded this for whatever reason, i mean i like joe but his last tapes have been pretty mediocre imo, hope its cool

i must not be listening to the same tapes as some of yall to be saying blow the most consistent in the bay, thats like the last word i would use to describe his catalog lol, hella incosistent from the mixing & mastering to some lazy ass raps, he needs to take his craft more seriously, at least as serious as he took the 1st album damn

Yea inconsistent for sure.. Unless you like half assed music. Kinda hard to let him slide when he came out the gate the way he did with you should be payin me.

And just like past mix tapes good mastering woulda made some of these songs 100x better.. And replayable..

Was skimming through the YouTube videos and the one with rydah has to be my favorite so far..

Forreal bro, if Fresh could get back on the old hype (like 2 years ago) that shit would be a perfect combo w/ him and blow. Fresh's newer shit tho, not so much. I've heard about 7-10 tracks off the "Check A Real Nigga Out" album & they were crazy. That album is entirely produced by Pakslap & Bandit and is a double album with close to 40 tracks from what Pak told me. Alot of the one's I heard were top notch Blow tracks & didn't make the cut, so expect an album(s) that will rival "YSBPM" for sure. Tracks I heard weren't as sample heavy as we'd expect from a Blow project but that was MONTHS ago when I heard that shit.... Check that "Rearview" track out, Bandit did alot of production on that w/ the same kinda hype.

Nope, Pak & Bandit got some of the illest beats in the bay! Hands down. They've been putting this shit together from almost 2 years back, if you liked YSBPM & thought the rest of his shit was "mediocre" then sit back, and wait till you can bootleg it & don't fuck w/ none of his other releases.

It'll be dope bro but I feel where you coming from. Variation is usually a better option, I know they recorded way over 40 tracks to choose from though. Not like some Fresh album where they record 10 and those are it regardless of how weak they might be.

After a few good Listens I'm diggin this one.. Like stated before best project since his first. If check a real nigga out is what he is perfecting we should have another classic on our hands.

Pretty good overall. Sounds just like the rest of his catalog so really nothing new here, but cool nonetheless.
