First and foremost, I'm not even going to lie. I tend to question some of AP.9's rants in here, I honestly don't believe some of the things he say's at times & some of the things are simply over the top IMHO. I don't agree with the attitude towards his fans etc. Trying too hard to prove your gangsta does not mean you have to disrespect everybody coming at you correct. No need to get into all that... everybody in here knows the story.
BUT!!!!
I'm the type of guy who gives credit where credit is due and I'll keep it 100% real.
I bumped Relentless today (Disc 1) and didn't skip a track. The album is on point so far. I did enjoy it more than 40's latest double Cd's. Production, hooks etc. were good. In some cases AP.9 was not saying anything new. I heard it all before, but none the less I kept listening with an open mind.
I don't think it will blow up to major status, but it does hold an underground value. A classic? I seriously don't know about that, but it is AP.9's best work to date in my opinion.
I already know AP.9 will come correct on Disc 2, which I will listen to as soon as I get the chance.
In closing, I personally think AP.9 needs to learn on how to maintain composure and slow down when it comes to responding to people in general. Everybody and anybody who doesn't agree with AP.9 is not a "hater. And please stop feeding into it & avoid responding to the real "haters." Skip all the street talk etc. your music speaks volumes. You have nothing else to prove...
