I don't want to put this extremely negative but if tech's career is winding down why would he go down the route of using rappers he has already collaborated in the past with.. especially since the general consensus from what I have read is that the tracks for the most part with these particular artists aren't looked at postively .. Tech doesn't need to collab with anyone outside the Strange label to put out a solid album..
From first impressions and word around the boards.. I thought everyone would be in awe of who Tech has collaborated with on this album.. that appears to be far from the case..
MLK interviews said that Tech reaches out to rappers on there level of talent.. not by how close they are to him.. I am beginning to doubt this. I still expect good tracks nonetheless but would prefer to have him with rappers that will bring out the best in him and in themselves.. the quote "they do the best they can" makes them appear weak with there skills.
I will wait to hear the finished result before I pass judgement on the collabo's.. don't wanna hate.. just my thoughts on it..
