"Call Ticketron" bangs so hard. Man, this album.

Seriously. This is stupid good. So glad these two found each other.

The final 2 tracks are still owning me. They have nothing in their RTJ catalog that touches these.
I remember when EL-P teased the beat for Thursday in the Danger Room and how hyped I was for it. I can't believe the song actually outperformed what I was imagining for it.

Also, A Report to the Shareholders / Kill Your Masters transitioning from heartbreaking to melting your fucking face with Zach De La Rocha.... My god...

The beats on "Call Ticketron" and "Oh Mama" remind me of NIN. God this album is so killer.

Favorite tracks so far, everyone?
Stay Gold is working it's way close to the top for me.

While were at it lets hear your favorite lyrics.

I got a good thing with a bad bitch, that's rare bitch
She don't even like you hoes, she'll walk in the room take errr bitch
We fuss, we fight, we fuck like freaks what a fabulous marriage

I think "Down" and "Call Ticketron" are my favorites. Favorite lyric: "I'm dirt, motherfucker, I can't be crushed"

On the other hand, worst lyric: "I do push-ups nude on the edge of cliffs"

That lyric is fucking brilliant.

Overall, are you more impressed with EL-P's wordplay/rhymes on this album or Killer Mike?

I find Mike evolving more and more on every release

Unlike RTJ2, which I think totally belongs to Mike, I'm finding myself more impressed by El-P this time around. But I still need some time to absorb it all.

I agree: RTJ2 edged Mike, but RTJ3 edges El-P.

El-P is such a unique rapper. No one flows like him. I love Mike's energy but I'm always waiting to see what weird-ass cadence El brings to the track.

This album is as close to old-school hip hop that I've heard in a long time. It's fantastic.

I thought the same thing. Old school beats for sure

What album are you two listening to?

HardTI · Post by **HardTI** » Wed January 04, 2017 3:37 am

Fucking flawless album.

This record is amazing; maybe a hair below RTJ2, but not enough to really matter. The singles I already liked, but they work even better in the context of the record.
