yeah I heard about that. I love PE and Cypress so the thought of chuck d and b real teaming up is excellent, but I dont know, with RATM ? I mean they were an incredible, tight band instrumentally, lyrically ? meh. one verse repeated 30 times.

still, im def intrigued.

That's why this could be pretty epic though. Rage music + Chuck D/B Real lyrics.  In.

yeah that's why the more I think about it I'm looking forward to it.

I think it's going to be a hot mess, but that will not keep me from checking it out.

new YG that dropped this week is album of the year imo.

i binged this overnite....thought the first two parts were excellent

i felt like after part 2 he started to run out of money or knew the money was drying up because parts 1 and 2 were in depth and well done and parts 3-4 were super rushed and felt like bullet points instead of a biography

part 4 specifically felt like well guys we only have a couple bucks left we better include the west coast somehow so let's ludicrously tie in the chronic as the reason rap is a world wide phenom tie this shtein up and call it a day

after seeing eps 3 & 4....yep, igy nailed it.  still worth watching though, imo.
