My thoughts:
Transition Intro -> Always Smiling was kinda abrupt. I was kinda expecting a climax into the first beat of Always Smiling.
+1 on the Dark Knight sample
Ditto transition Always Smiling -> How We Roll. Maybe a bit more fade out/fade in or a slightly bigger track gap? Funny lyrics on this one though.
I think Don't Lose Focus was my fav track.
Cutoff "Dumb" at the end of Ballin'.
The little synth noise throughout The Way I Do It kinda pissed me off.
Was the last verse of **** It the bit about Jakar? Cause if so LOL.
Throwing Shots was quite good too. Wasn't a huge fan of the hidden track though. Distorted voice doesn't do it for me.
All in all I'd say it was pretty good. Definitely better than anything I could of done, but then again I don't rap.
For the record, the "hidden track" was one of our first tracks we did as LBS that people seem to love for some reason. I can't for the life of me figure out why so many people around here think it's awesome, but who knows. And yeah, my verse on **** It was about, sorta, Jakar. But hey, thanks for listening and what not.
And yeah, provided I had more time (was getting hounded by a few people to get it out last night) the thing woulda been better fit. We had about 4-6 phone messages from some of our close friends just being drunk as **** rambling about us we were gonna put as interludes, and a few other things we wern't able to do, but all and all I think it turned out decent.
And uh, at the end of Ballin' I actually say "**** it, this songs done", not dumb. But then again, everyone I've talked to that heard it all thought I said dumb as well.
