^ I know what you mean mate.

I really like Dear Listener as it covers a wide scope of topics. I still love Soundtrack to the Struggle and I think it's the best album of this year, but like you said, the political tracks do get very repetitive.

Possessed's latest work is crazy...I've only heard his new shit when he was spitting alone for like 15 minutes lol...

Ain't heard nothing knew from the other guys...Next new shit I hear from Skirmish will be on my track...

As for the actual thread, I haven't been a fan of Lowkey since KTTG3, that's his best release in my opinion, with a few sick tracks on Dear Listener...

Since then I don't listen to him...He's become too political and raps about topics I can't relate to or really give a damn about...Plus I've noticed a lot of his new work is very repetitive, and in my opinion the only repetitive part of a Hip-Hop track should be the chorus...He spits 12 bars than repeats the last 4 bars on his verses...Not my kinda thing...That along with a lot of them are only 2 verse tracks...

That's alright if you're doing 24 bar verses, but not if your doing 2 16 bar verses with the same 4 bars on each...

Having said that I can't really think of a good album for this month...

15 Minutes?? That's some Raw ass shit right there. You get all exclusives and keep it with you, why don't you share it with the RA addicts? Brooo.....

To talk about Low-key he sounds pretty repetitive at times, but the way he delivers them is some pure Lyricism. That's what I like about him at the moment. Plus the things that you mentioned about his Bars being like that, I gotta agree that shit pisses me off to at times.

It's not to take anything away from his lyricism, he's still one of the best lyricists in the game, but that doesn't make up for everything else I dislike about it...

Haha, it probably wasn't that long but it felt like forever...Minimum 10 minutes though...How can I share it?!?!...I can't put my memories in a video and post it can I lol...We were all jamming at Psiklone's friend's house after a show, I was drunk as fuck and don't remember half of it, I just know it was raw as fuck!!!...In fact the only bar I can re-call is "I landed in a Cornfield in Smallville" lol...

I was VERY disappointed that Immortal Technique's 'The Martyr' wasn't in the list, coz in my opinion that's been the best release of '11, never mind just October...

:worship:
You're one lucky dude to hang out with those guys and I assume that you're close to them as well. The things that you mentioned about that 10 Min Raw Spit convinces me to believe that it was just Freestyle that was spit just fucking around. I hope you'll share that song that you're doing with Skirmish.
