2023 I'm still bumping to this masterpiece. This is the best curated project hip hop has ever had. Non debatable. A shocker that it only took 6 days...
1) 0:00 - Soapbox 2) 0:50 - One in the Same 3) 4:45 - Jordans & a Gold Chain 4) 7:34 - A Couple Dollars 5) 12:19 - Basquiat on the Draw 6) 16:48 - The Vibes 7) 20:00 - On the Stretch & Bob Show 8) 24:11 - Spoils on the Victor 9) 27:03 - Visionary Riches 10) 30:54 - They Parked a Bentley on the Corner 11) 34:28 - The Flyest Essence 12) 37:09 - Innocent Ambition 13) 40:46 - Care Packages 14) 43:46 - Payout 15) 48:11 - Nodding Off
I 've always have been more than slightly partial to east coast conscious hip hop muzic. Apollo is from the D-aka Detroit, the murda mitten. Skyzoo is from the NY, tho; and rep's it well.
Best east coast Mc's Guru, C-rays wallz, Immortal Technique, Vinny Paz, Masta Ace, Jada-Kiss, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang, Redman, Black Thought, Nas, Talib Kweli, BIGGIE, Tu-Pac Amaru, A Tribe Called Quest, Rakim, Krs-One, Slick Rick, Lauryn Hill, Pun, LL cool J, Pharoahe Monch, Pusha T, Cannabis, Mobb Deep, The Lost Boys, and the greatest of all times himself BIG L. Top producers east coast or not Dj Primo the GOD/Goat, J-Dilla, Dr. Dre, 9th Wonder, Apollo Brown, Madlib, Havoc, Alchemist, Kanye West, Pete Rock.
Hands down one of the BEST albums to come out in 2016. It stays on repeat in my whip. Apollo Brown doesn't get the credit that he deserves; he's a BEAST!
Idk the hook on the vibes is kind of annoying (my only complaint.) Rappers like this need to realize that you dont really need a hook when you can spit well. Let the music do some of the talking if you cant come up with a good hook
I went to buy Oddisee's Alwasta on vinyl (if we are considering eps, I think that album should be on the list) when I saw that I had completely fell asleep on this album. I couldn't agree more.
Skyzoo is nice as fuck. If hip hop was what it was 15 years ago he would be next up...hopefully he still is but in 2016 I don't know man. Ordering the vinyl today though, just dope.
@@davidpagan1254 Or Apollo Brown would have just as many likes as someone less skilled such as these modern day producers selling soul-less garbage to the people. The industry knows what their doing to the youth even going as far back to the beginning/start of gangsta rap. The music industry has shares with privately owned prisons, guess who gets paid to promote behavior, to end up in these private prisons ? Guess who fills up these $ oriented corporations in the disguise of prisons doing the community justice ?
TwaityZee go to google mellomusicgroup. That the independent label Apollo brown and oddisee are on. Also another Apollo brown trio is ugly heroes which consist of verbal Kent and red pill who are out of Detroit and of course Apollo brown who does all the beats on the ugly heroes album.
As soon as you see Apollo Brown or Skidoo name on a project that should be an automatic cop...I ALREADY know this is dope! Listening right now... #RealHipHop
Got mine a 1am est via Amazon Music Download. Definitely support $$$ the artist who rarely if ever disappoint........ That Said, Hurry up with Barrel Brothers II .......Shot Out To TORAE
If the mainstream EVER gave Sky a shot, most rappers would have to retire. He's up there with the lyrical legends (Nas,Az,Pun,Canibus,Jada,Classic Drake.etc) in my view. Apollo did his thing on the boards as per usual.
@@shaqrae6018 I wish Gunn had more producers on Sincerely Adolf, or had at least brought Apollo back for their recent success. Cool that he just made a record with his 3 go-to's but many different producers made Gunn's come up what it was.
Proud to say youre from my city Apollo- Gun Rue aka Grand Rapids, MI. Before he moved to Detroit mid-2000, born and raised here . Bronze Nazareth born and raised here before the Detroit too. La the Darkman btwen nyc and Gun Rue. LaD' little brother Willie the Kid born and raised in Gun Rue, stays here too. Proud of my home city!
Skyzoo's work with Apollo Brown is priceless. Apollo Brown is the new DJ Premier, without the record scratches. Personally I would love to see Apollo Brown do more Boom Bap beats with scratches in the hook. J/S
Do you know how cold THIS ALBUM is....he still over my head a little bit....but he always been C.A.F....he's like a rapper's rapper.... I can dream to this album crack., the window and let the crib air out to this...
This is what happens when you raise the Youth The proper way to listen to Real Music from the 1960's,1970's,and the 1980's..that DNA is going to come out sounding like this!!!!!
This is where Apollo is a genius: starting a track with a sample of the Carpenters, for real? Yep, for real, and this is REALLY good! Once again, you scored Apollo!
