I was actually really disappointed by this. Beat is uninspired. Damn autopitch gets on my nerves. Love them all separate, but when they get together...meh. Don't mind it, but I feel like they really underperformed with this one.

I have no idea why, but it sounds alright to me, while in my heart i know it sucks.

I like Paper Planes. Probably why Swagga Like Us sounds decent enough for me.

Thank God Southern and edmoral know what's up. I love that old **** but I was unfortunate enough to have been born in '85, so I along with many others have suffered through some terrible hip-hop in the recent years.

Well, I know what's up, nupe thinks Jay-Z is ttill good and I'm not into the whole Houston scene (Who is Mike Jones? Who cares.)

I keep asking myself, where is this generation's Slick Rick? Entertaining, great story teller. I mean, how does Jim Jones have a career in rap?

A more difficult question is who is this generation's Rakim?

Not produced by Dr. Dre, it doesn't sound anything like what he was doing at that time. I'm pretty sure it's produced by Rockwilder, and that's what ProdBy says as well: http://www.prodby.altervista.org/alb...m=The%20Tunnel

Story telling is a lost art, something even the Fresh Prince was able to do. The majority of rappers today, prefer to ap about the things they have. As for today, the only few I can think of that occasionally do a track with a story line are: Nas and Scarface, and they tend to be dark and violent, unlike Dana Dane or Slick Rick.

P.S. Edmorel A.K.A "Lil Wayne is the hottest", no one in Houston cares about Mike Jones, not even Mike Jones.
