Primero!

Track needs more Autotune.

straight heat..cant wait till the album drops

IMO, the true GOAT. Track is pretty dope, the beat doesn’t do it for me but I’m glad to hear Ra still spitting like this. Dopeness.

4 Thomas July 14, 2009 at 10:05 pm

Dopeness. When you listen to a Ra track….its not for the beat….its lyrics and lyrics only.

Been waiting on this album just like OB4CL2 and it looks like we are gonna get both this year.

Thanks, Kev. You’re coming thru in the clutch. I thought you were supposed to be chillin’ out a little on the posts. It seems as if you are going harder than ever. PEace

8 Sean Deez July 14, 2009 at 11:26 pm

I really had to force myself to try to ignore those wack ass keyboard sounds to listen to the god rip it.
With the intro, I got kinda hyped thinking it was gonna be that played out, but dope as hell, Axelrod sample. But, damn, those keyboards. I can’t deal with those sounds at my age, my nerves are already shot out. Lol
Drums, bass, and pianos are good, though, and god rips once again.
It was nice to hear that.

I hope an acapella leaks quickly.

track needs bit more scratching!

11 Thomas July 15, 2009 at 12:03 am

Just cause you don’t like it Deez doesn’t mean everyone else can’t enjoy it.

12 Blix July 15, 2009 at 12:07 am

I thought it was hot…the synth stuff is a little too much but this is not a bad track by any means…

I’m with verge though, once the acapella shows up I could see mad producers killin’ this one…

13 Charity July 15, 2009 at 12:17 am

Sean Deez still a old a** n****!!!!!!

14 Psymun July 15, 2009 at 1:00 am

i really like it acutally. i love the sample

15 Thomas July 15, 2009 at 1:12 am
16 Guy Fawkes July 15, 2009 at 1:38 am

Damn, Fanta Kev?
How can you drink that? Especially grape…

17 J. Rizzle July 15, 2009 at 7:44 am

I’ll bump it, and I’m an old azz nicca, LOL !!!

Saw this somewhere else, literally jumped out of my chair and punched my fist in the air like an autobot after he transforms. Nothing else has ever had a reaction like this from me before, this shit made my day good as soon as I woke up and saw this.

19 LIl Ish July 15, 2009 at 10:08 am

The R still got it.

20 Garcia's Grooves July 15, 2009 at 10:20 am

I dig it!
There is a Fat Joe track that used a sample from that same Alexrod song.

21 Vatkeezy July 15, 2009 at 4:24 pm

Co-sign Deez, I expected a LOT more than this after how long its been! This beat is weak.

22 LIl Ish July 15, 2009 at 4:39 pm

The beat is crack in my opinion

23 verge July 15, 2009 at 4:44 pm

It’s over produced, man.
They didn’t need all those synths.
Minus this sound and I can fuck with it-

24 DoNotFire July 15, 2009 at 5:18 pm

Raw bars, obv. Not the beat though. I ain’t into that synthy shit…and I’m a young fam!

25 LIl Ish July 16, 2009 at 8:42 am

Whoops, i forgot to stress the “In my opinion” part of my comment.

26 Victor July 20, 2009 at 9:13 am

I actually like the beat. And of course Rakim brings the goods, if this lp drops this year 09′ is by far and away the best year for hip hop since i became a proper fan (05′).
