perfect time of year for this, still timeless. big fan of all of his sounds but this is still my favorite

Facts

I was listening to V.I.C.E.S. And had the same sentiment

Easily. He was in an insane pocket

not off that tape but this thread reminded me about this song i liked a lot from retch

Not on the tape but release within months of each other with the same vibe. Dude imagery is immaculate

Classic tape. Almost 12 years to the day too.

The production on the whole album is phenomenal

we were so robbed by them beefing it's not even funny

This album + the Retchy P vines had me in a chokehold in high school

Special Jim so crazy

Nigga decided to become a scammer instead of staying on the chosen path. Such a shame man

Gets me every f***ing time

v influential

Thelonious Martin ain’t made beats this great since. He’s still a dope producer but this was his absolute peak along with a couple joints from VICES.

worst part is he had a good core fanbase and could've made a lot of bread off merch/vinyl/shows. and he should be #1 out of jersey we need a star

Yeah I was gonna say, he would’ve been an East Coast Vince Staples. He had ASAP Mob, OBlock, NYC Underground and Drill co-signs

the prod on here is so timeless, this would blow people away if it dropped today

retch fell off after he stopped making neo-dust and just became a generic street trap rapper

it’s sad

100%

This can go toe to toe with 90s classics

So underrated

his EP with Grimm Doza from a few years back was excellent though so I think he can still get in that pocket again if he has good production and direction

He honestly has some really good s*** in that lane too but Polo Sporting Goods was by far peak

Honestly its better than most if not all the tapes in that lane since that have way more recognition

it was
