The world has been waiting for these two to come back and collab again. After I discovered them on their sequel of ‘No Respect’ and I saw just how well their chemistry hit and now they are back bigger and badder then ever! Let’s talk about it!
This is the brand new somewhat concept album by MC Big Dese and Producer Mike Martinez! I saw somewhat because as the title suggests it’s referencing ‘Tommy Desimone’ who was represented by Joe Pesci in Goodfellas! And there’s various clips regarding him (which I find a super dope idea) and this album only has one feature in
-The Bad Seed
If we start with the production, we see Mike at his most diabolical. I assume trying to match the vibe of someone’s life like Tommy and in turn created beats that are heavy, minimalistic layers with sharp, killer intent hidden within each individual instrumental!
Despite their rawness there is a certain funkiness attached to them such as tracks like -Aaron Hernandez which has such a groovy bass line, solid drums and what sounds like Christmas bells in the background? It’s the underground’s definition of a merry good time!
Hell, what about the track right after! -Appreciate Me Now with those plucked chord progressions, what sounds like a didgeridoo almost in the background! I don’t think that’s what it is but it sounds bouncy and rhythmic in the background which I liked with of course more heavy handed drums! One of the more interesting tracks on the record!
Of course the lead single off the album (which I already covered) -Flea Collars which established the vibe of the whole record and what’s to be expected! This is also the track that has The Bad Seed! A classic, grimy boom Bap flavoured track that scratches every itch as an underground hip hop fan!
Of course this is a collaboration effort, so it wouldn’t be this entertaining without the mic piece himself Big Dese. The ultimate roaster himself! Every verse feels like a personal attack on you the likes only seen from prime slim shady!
This guy doesn’t play, every bar he spits feels sarcastic and witty at the same time, like he’s having fun talking shit about the people around him!
He has such a unique flow that makes him stand out instantly due to this style I talk about. He has the classic, in your face raw presentation but instead of going down the cliche bully rap path he paved his own that’s a hella more entertaining and memorable!
Whether he’s talking about how less of a man you are or how woman act around him rather then you or any of the number of roasts he can apply to you at any given moment, it’s all vivid, vicious and yet infectious to listen to!
It’s like listening to the high school comedian who just happens to also be the biggest bully around. Combine that energy with a dope MC and that’s exactly what you get in Big Dese’s style! That’s why his chemistry with the likes of Bad Seed is so special because it’s two men cut from the same cloth but went different lanes!
Same quality control and savage bars just different application of both! Absolutely unreal how they work so well!
So, unless you retarded. Make sure you click the link below and listen to the new offering by two of the dopest in the business! Let’s fucking go!
