Rick Ross is trash, and I don't care to hear Jay-Z on Kabosh.
I also don't care to hear Kabosh anymore, given the shitty band and shitty features. They're going to have to release something VERY APPEALING to me to get me to pre-order(buy) that album. The leak is going to be the difference maker in this one for me.
I've never forgotten about Kabosh, but it's just sat on the plate too long, with too many "this might happen/that might happen" rumor that I don't care anymore. Kabosh IMO was going to be Tech and Krizz rapping over rock beats, that were suitable to be played by a live band essentially. I like Little Pills and the other "Kabosh" shit that was released a ways back. That's what I had come to expect.
Strange's recent wide-ass scope seems to be taking ideas that used to appeal to me, and jamming so much bullshit that I'm not interested in it anymore. "Add this thing, add this guy, add this beep, add this effect, why don't we get another big feature, let's add a nu-metal rap band, you know what? add another skit there...." That happens until what was a good idea bursts at the fucking seams and turns it into over-thought bullshit.
I mean, I can't speak for who... But it seems like someone in Strange is over-thinking shit way too much. You've had like ten years to drop Kabosh... Either do it, or don't do it, and quit adding new shit to it. Kabosh, much like FTI, is not what it started out as anymore.
Has Tech ever wrote a song about beating a dead horse?
