Some people are such KRIT stans. I love the guy. His beats are awesome and his flow is great. I loved King Remembered In Time, one of my favorite albums/mixtapes.
His latest album sucks ass, though. It sounds nothing like him. And most recognize that saying the first half is great and the second half is love songs or just all bad. But they still think it's AOTY.
This is why I can't listen to hip hop anymore. The bar is set so low for most albums, that shit like that is even mentioned in the same sentence as AOTY.
Also, RTJ2 was a little bit of a letdown. I'll have to give it a listen again, but it was not as exciting as the first.
KRIT is a different story, though.
He raps and does his own beats, majority of the time.
However, his dopest beats don't get the budget necessary for sample clearances. When you listen to Krit Wuz Here or Return of 4Eva, you can see that he has better beats on that. It's not cause his label wants him to dumb shit down (sup Lupe) or that his best shit is behind him, it's probably because he doesn't have the budget to clear dope shit.
The few producers he does have on his last album (Jim Jonsin, Khalil) haven't put out heat in years. Plus he can probably only afford their throwaway shit. It is what it is.
In the mean time, I'll go bump Dreamin abour 6x in a row.
