Well Nino Bless was put on the back burner and I’m not sure when I’ll be taking this one off play. This tape is AMAZING!! I’m only 8 tracks in and this is better than any mixtape I’ve heard in recent memory. This is one of those rare occasions where the music, lyrics, and vibe of the overall project mesh so well that you hope the album doesn’t end. “so muhfuckin soulful!”
Steve_O said this on March 2nd, 2009 at 5:31 pm

@Steve_O
yeah, i think it’s corny when rappers say that, because most of them are lying. they listen to other rappers…they just feel it’s cooler to say they don’t. the same way everyone went through their whole “i’m not a rapper” phase. that was why me and Pro used that on the hook to “The Rapture”…it’s so obvious that we’re rappers…LOL

“This shit is hot reminds me of Lupe Fiasco’s and he gets the girl record”. I’m downloading this right now just off of the juice that you said that. A lot of people are Nyquil-type sleep on how fly that Lupe track was. I hope this mixtape lives up to the reputation yall are giving it.

I gota say. This is dope. I appreciate a good record absent of a bunch of bitches and hoes. They didn’t even make an appearance. I mean, they didn’t show up once. It’s good to hear a brother being honest and spitting over some great soul classics. I almost shed a tear. Can’t wait for the next one. Rockin’.
