That would be cool... but havin a live band is just so much better you get a lot more energy.. And I can make a lot better lyrics when I'm sitting there listening to my band jam out rather than listening to a beat. Idk, it just pulls more creativity out of me. ( not sayin that's how it is for all though..)

Yeah but it would be quicker to have Matic produce a bunch of tracks (and he's already done really well with the "rock" type tracks) then to wait for them to get a band together and actually write new shit.

What's the point? I posted a message and told you to PM me if you wanted me to call you and you never got to me.

Puss.

Why are you even posting this on this thread? Nobody said shit to you.

I'll use the template that Theezy used.

1. Sickology 101: Instantly one of my favorites on the album. I've been listening to it since it first leaked out, and it still remains one of my favorites. Tech's verse is straight fire, as is Crooked I's. As many have said though, Chino was the weak link here, though he still held his own. 9/10

2. Midwest Choppers 2: This would receive a 10 out of 10 had it not been for K-Dean's appearance on the song. Krayzie came great on his verse, and Tech went fuckin bananas. I love the beat, it just pulses with subs and sounds excellent, and the snare sounds badass and gives the track a very frantic feel. The hook is very hyper and I really like it. 9/10

3. Ghetto Love: Christ, I can't believe how bad Krizz butchered this beat. I've never had a hook so bad that it completely ruined a song, until now. It's just unlistenable as it is now, and Krizz's verse is very unimaginative. Tech and Kutt came great, but Krizz just makes the first 2 minutes unbearable, and that's the point where I say fuck it and skip to the next. 2/10

4. Poh Me Anutha: An average song. The beat is okay. The verses were okay. The hook is gay. Not really feelin it. 4/10

5. We Kixin It: Mindless track. Very boring and generic. The verses were okay. The beat was boring. The hook was unimaginative. Not much to say about this track, and it definitely doesn't stand out. 4/10

6. Nothin: This was the very first song off the sampler that caught my attention, as the beat was too badass to just skip over. Tech's verse is tight, as is Scooby's (nothing great, but it's decent). Messy was the only one that really disappointed me. It just sounded as if he didn't want to be on the track, and with such a bumpin beat, you need to have a good flow. The hook is okay, not great but not bad either, just a bit simple. Overall another one of my favs. 8/10

7. Let Me In: As I've said before, this is THE weakest song on the whole album. Very boring beat, very boring and annoying hook, and very weak verses. I absolutely dread the hook on this song, though I think Ghetto Love is just a little worse. Very boring and simple song. 1/10

8. In The Air: Badass song. Lovin the beat, it's got a really nice, laid back pace and feel to it. The hook is very simple but it works, and is not annoying at all. The verses were really nice, and it's an overall enjoyable track. 8/10

9. Blown Away: Fucking tight. The beat is great on this track, and though I hate autotune, Tech did an excellent job with it. The hook is very simplistic, but it works. Being a solo Tech song, all the verses are fire, and his attacks on KC and Rakim are very strong and well directed. Another one of my favorites. 9/10

10. Party And Bullshit: Pretty average track. The beat is okay, the verses are okay, the hook is different, not in a bad way but not in a good way either. Overall it's okay. 5/10

12. Sorry N Shit: Dope song. I like it, and being the 57th RDVs, I didn't expect anything less than solid verses, and they all delivered on point. The beat is cool, and the hook is pretty lighthearted and goofy, which is something that is good for a track like this. Cool song. 7/10

13. Dysfunctional: I didn't really care for this track. The beat is a bit simplistic for my tastes, and it just doesn't bump. The hook is pretty boring, and the verses are okay. 4/10

14. Far Away: I really like this song a lot. Pretty laid back and on a bit of a more serious note. Both Tech and Krizz came great on this track, the beat is pretty slow, but it works. I like the guitar on it. The hook is fucking awesome. 8/10

16. Creepin: I kinda like this song. For some reason, I get an Everready/Alpha Dog kind of vibe from it, hook, beat and all. It's pretty cool. 7/10

17. Red Nose: Where do I even begin? THE definition of lyrically sick. This is THE fucking song right here. The beat, the hook, the verses...man, I just can't get enough of this shit. One of the hardest tracks I've heard in a long time, and is a direct tie with MC2 for favorite on this album. I'll even go as far as to say that it's on par with Paint A Dark Picture for me, and that's saying a lot. Fucking excellence. THIS IS WHAT K.O.D. NEEDS TO SOUND LIKE. Period.

18. Areola: WOOT!! AREOOOOOLA!!! WOOT!! If you couldn't already tell, I fucking love this song. Just the fact that they made such a banger based on such a simplistic subject is an accomplishment in itself. Banging ass beat, badass verses from Kutt, Tech, and Krizz, and the hook WILL get stuck in your head for hours on end. Fucking great. 9/10

OVERALL: For the most part, it's a disappointment for me. Not exactly Tech at fault, but more so his picks for features. All of the names I had never heard before were that way for a reason. The production was disappointing to a certain extent, that meaning that the ones that didn't bang were horrible, but the ones that were good were fucking bangers. There's just no consistency in it. The subject matter was definitely off too. The whole album wasn't meant to be on a serious tone, but there's such a lack of seriousness here that the lead single, Red Nose, doesn't even sound like it belongs here. On the subject of lyrically sick, no, this is not lyrically sick. It's good at best, okay at worst, meaning average to me. The only lyrically sick tracks were Tech's solos, Sickology 101, and MC2. In my opinion, Tech should really concentrate on getting himself out there, and not his KC buddies. Features are cool, they're to be expected on ANY album, but basing a whole album around them when you're completely demolishing all of them on the tracks they're on just leaves a lot to be desired in the end. Hopefully Tech gets it together for K.O.D., but I have a really good feeling about K.O.D. based on the tracks and samples released for it, and it seems to be very positive.

Couldnt really agree more man, except I really liked Dysfunctional and I thought Party and Bullshit was a little better, and I also hated Creepin, but other than that, I completely agree. The beats that were good, were really good, and the beats that were bad, were really bad.

1. Sickology - One of the few songs with good guest appearences on it. 8/10

2. Midwest Choppers 2 - I like Krazyie and Tech, the other dude brings it down tho and I'm not really feeling the chorus. I expected better 6/10

4. Poh Me Anutha - This.........well this is only slightly better than Ghetto Love. 3/10

5. We Kixin It - Tech's verse is good. Its an OK song I guess 5/10

7. Let Me In - People either love or hate this song it seems. I like it. This is where the album picks up IMO
Loved Tech's Verse. 7/10

8. In The Air - Loved the chorus on this one. Tech is great. The guest appearences arent bad either. 8/10

Sickology 101 - Love this song, good beat, and the features were one of the best on the album, and I like the chorus, GET UP GET UP!! 9/10

Midwest Choppers 2 - Favorite song on the album, best beat on the album IMO, I thought they all ripped it, Krayzie Bone could have done better but I enjoyed his verse and Tech's verse was just SICK, one of his best verses in awhile IMO. 10/10

Ghetto Love - I'm with the majority on this one, really boring, awful chorus, not really a good song. 3/10

Poh Me Anutha - When I first heard this one I was like WTF? Don't like it at all. Bad chorus, bad beat, bad song. 3/10

We Kixin It - Not bad, not great. 6/10

Nothin - Of course love the beat by Matic, Tech rips it, and I liked Scoob's verse, Marv's verse wasnt great but wasnt terrible either. 8/10

Let Me In - Not feelin it. Not my kind of beat, too boring and plain like I stated in an earlier post, and the chorus is iffy. Didn't really like Tech's verse either IDK why. 5/10

In The Air - Good song, I love the chorus, really different. Beat's good, Nesto wasnt great but oh well, good song. 7/10

Blown Away - Great song, dont really like autotune like most of you, but he used it really well on the chorus. Pretty addicting and I think this song could be a great single in the mainstream. Great song. 9.5/10

Party & Bullshit - I guess alot of ppl dont like this song, I do though. I liked the beat, and Techs and Shadow's verses were good. Good song. 7.5/10

Sorry N Shit - Good song, the chorus was decent, RDV brang it. 8/10

Dysfunctional - Really like this song, I loved the beat, the chorus is the only thing that brings it down a little. 8.5/10

Far Away - Pretty sure everyone loves this song, love the riff in the back, everything about it is good. Great song. 9.5/10

Creepin - Sucks. Beat sucks, chorus sucks, subject matter sucks. Not a good song. 2/10

Red Nose - One of the best on the album, great beat, love the chorus and Tech rips it the entire way. 10/10

Areola - Pretty good song, good way to end the album! 7.5/10

Take It Off (unreleased) - Wish this was on the album, could have replaced Creepin, Poh Me Anutha or Ghetto Love. I love all the verses and the chorus is better after a bunch of listens, good beat, good song. 8/10

Overall - I guess Im likin it more the alot of people, I give it a 7/10. MLK was just a little better IMO.

Wow...I'm really feeling this album...I don't know Tech is the only rapper I just buy his cds and know they are good (cel not counted). Then again Strange is the only rap I listen to anymore.

Poh me Anutha is a hardcore track...but I'm not that far in
