    yep, sounds kinda like the vocals are overpowering the instrumentals on couple of songs, k--- Jay Z for example, it was weird to my ears from the beginning.

    Some songs are not mixed at all, at least vocals. They are dry with no effects on em. It's on purpose I think, that's what I got from 1st listen. But the lyrics and the content is so great b, Hov been the GOAT

    I'm not a huge Hov fan, but I always appreciate what he brings lyric-wise. I guess its the fact I didnt grow up listening to his music and its hard for me to go back a listen to all that brick talk on the first few albums, but who knows maybe I will one day.

    Most people's opinions on someone's craft are neither actually based solely on the craft nor are they of their own personal formulation. Remember when the two ''She's mine'' tracks where slaughtered because of Cole's lazy disjointed flow? Jay Z uses that flow on a number of tracks with the disjointedness and simplistic rhyme schemes even more apparent, but guess what since it is Jigga (top 3 GOAT btw) people SEEM to f--- with it more...

    Jay-Z knows when and how to use it. On which beat. Cole sounds forced mumbling throughout the song. On instrumental that has no business being placed in the middle of a rap album. s--- is a one time listen type of song b. Not the same at all.

    OKC kinda f----- up i think ...

    everyones talking about paul george going lakers after this year ...

    before westbrook went off this year and took over OKC he was the one predicted to go to lakers (went to UCLA) ...

    maybe now westbrook and george build a relationship and head to the lakers together ...

    but na thats just me speculating and trying to see something other people are missing ...

    i will like to see how the thunder look now, I'm dissapointed about griffin staying with the clippers now tho ... him with Westbrook AND george really wuda been sumin else ...

    either way this season is going to be fun to watch with all the changes, i just hope the rockets thunder and cavaliers still all get one more piece to really turn this from warriors era to simply the superteam era
