This year marks 10 years since Ab-Soul's Control System originally dropped. On May 11, 2011 the album put Ab-Soul on the map as being one of the best lyricists in TDE. But has the album held up? Or was it just a moment in time? And what about Ab-Soul's career since then? Listen to the fellas discuss it and then leave your thoughts in the comment section!

“The Book of Soul” is absolutely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Up there with What’s Going On & Keep Your Head To The Sky. It’s so sad, vulnerable, and beautiful at the same time.

No skips on this album. Truly a 10/10. Such a shame TDE could never help him follow up with something even remotely close.

@clarktownsend8991 Год назад

@Zone252lyfe Год назад

Agreed with this being a 10/10. I truly wish he could have kept it going. Partly feel Kendrick got too big and even if you liked These Days and DWTW, it would have got eclipsed. And tbh, I feel like Kendrick took some of Soul’s concepts (the these days vibe is what mr morale is doing now)

@agipson101 Год назад

@@Zone252lyfe kendrick was also inspired to do section 80 cuz of ab soul

@intoxicatedreams1 Год назад

@@Zone252lyfe feel you on that one, there are so many similarities in style between ab soul and Kendrick. You could say Kendrick’s whole style is a mash up of the best qualities of the other original members of TDE. Might be a bit of a reach to say that but I would understand if you did.

@donavangreen27 Год назад

Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. Book of Soul almost made me shed that Denzel in “Glory” tear. Always glad to see Ab getting love.

@ludabam241 Год назад

I remember having this conversation with my friends a few years ago. It feels like Ab-Soul will forever be in the shadow of this project with all due respect. Fantastic conscious album. I bought it on iTunes without a second thought when it came out. If this is the best thing Ab-Soul will ever put out, so be it. He brought so many ideas that changed the minds of the masses.

@knowistrite Год назад

Shaggy Rodgers, amazing name and Ab-Soul Control System still amazing. Here's interesting story about us hanging out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OBXtNql1UKE.html

@youngchief31 Год назад

Easily one of the best projects of this current generation of rap - period. His verse on “Ab-Soul’s Outro” from “Section.80” made me aware; “Longterm Mentality” made me a fan; but “Control System” made me a STAN. I stood on my soapbox and said this is my favorite newest (at the time) rapper moving forward. I hope he can deliver on his next project, I’m sure he has a lot to talk about…

This review made my day - The classic conversation style was perfect and made me nostalgic as all hell. In regards to TDE's label. They've still got some cats I'm checking in on. Isaiah Rashad, SZA, Sir, Reason, Jay Rock and Q. Their new homie Ray Vaughn is a killer on the mic, def peep his LA Leakers freestyle. Tap was one of my favorite tracks from last year. But they def don't feel like the monolith of quality like they used to. That 2011-2016 era was legendary.

@J_Chips Год назад

“Rapper Sh!t” (unreleased from the Longterm Mentality era) is a perfect testament of Ab-Soul and Kendrick going bar-for-bar on a track! Yin and Yang of TDE at that time. *On a side note: I always felt that Soul should’ve had his “Food & Liquor and The Cool” success that Lupe had with those two albums in particular.

@AeonLux_ Год назад

As opposed to a follow-up of Control System...I really think it would be a far more significant addition to his discography by giving us Long Term 3. As much as I love CS, the long term series has always been what's defined him to a point where he's consciously aware of it. I always felt like he wanted the long term series to be his legacy. I mean it's literally in the name. Like an intentional mentality that he's chosen to approach his career. Sorta like his mantra or way of life. To drop Long Term 3, after essentially being forgotten about, and remind us all of why soul is soul would be so dope to me in my eyes. Not only would we all love to have him back but now that dot isn't on the label and there's a void there that he could potentially fill...we're at a point where surprising us with Long Term 3 could be an incredibly poetic comeback for soul.

Easily one of the best projects that have come out of TDE and for sure one of the best records in general if we're talking about this generation of hip-hop. "Book of Soul" will forever be seen as his magnum opus, I truly believe that's one of the strongest, most heartbreaking songs I've heard in rap.

@Ofmikes_and_men Год назад

The interests in TDE is waning cause they drop albums once every 3-5 years (in Soulo’s case, 6). In a landscape where you have Griseldas that drop 5-6 projects a year, or even a Dreamville that drop fairly consistently; you need to adapt to it

@erronking7783 Год назад

@TheMkfan123 Год назад

It's so good to see them revisiting albums that I never left lol. Hip-hop from 2011-- 2017 is the only hip-hop that I listen to (minus coke rap like Freddie Gibbs, Greselda, etc.). From R.A.P Music to G.K.M.C to Cilvia Demo to RTJ to Blank Face to Forever Is A Mighty Long Time to Flower Boy to The Never Story and so on... I feel like artists (besides coke rappers) have been choosing production that fits more with what's hot now, instead of trying to find their own style. I think because a lot of those albums from that time period sounded so unique to the artists, it made those albums instantly timeless unlike today. Anyway... what are some of y'alls favorite albums from 2011-2017? I really want to know.

I must be in the minority, but I love These Days... That album got me thru some difficult times and some other very trippy times. Hunnid Stax, Dub Sac, World Runners, Just Have Fun (favorite track), Kendrick Lamar's Interlude, Stigmata, Ride Slow.... I could go on and on. He put on a clinic with Control System, that's his best work no doubt. But I have a much deeper personal connection with These Days... These days I've seen my best Need be, lay me to rest Smoke, drink, relieve my stress Hard times, they got the best of me I guess 🥲😭😭

@jordanp9351 Год назад

I feel you man, These Days is so strange - listeners understood the conceptual basis of the album but it still didn’t seem to gel, and with retrospect some of it has aged well but then some of it sounds *like 2014* - which I guess was sort of the point of the album’s concept. Moreover, it feels like it has been totally forgotten - one of the most forgotten semi big hip hop releases of the last decade. Still though, I still enjoy a lot of the songs on the album, especially the secret song on Just Have Fun, probably one of my fave Soul songs.

@musiclifter5424 Год назад

The complexity of do what thou wilt gives it so much replay value for me tryna figure all that shit out, similar to drogas wave, so for me that album is damn near on par with control system, for the last 2 years an soul has bin the rapper I want an album from most cus I feel he’s left out of conversations he should be in as for me as a lyricist he can go toe to toe with anyone including Kendrick, I’m a huge fan of him and it is annoying that he’s taken so much time off, I just hope he hasn’t retired at this point
