So happy to you review this project. A true 2010’s classic album. Another album I don’t see reviewed/reacted to enough is AT LONG LAST ASAP by ASAP Rocky

Interesting note, Ab-Soul said that his conspiracy theorist period got him heavily depressed and the disinformation hole he dug himself in made him distance from his family. He felt boxed in and kept digging himself deeper with research since that is what his fans expected of him. In his latest album 'Herbert' he finally distanced himself away from those thoughts and 'Ab-Soul' character (Herbert being his given name) and delivered what in my opinion is his best album since. So definitely give that one a try!

Hey Bob, If you like “Ab-Soul’s outro” off of Section.80, check out “Kendrick Lamar’s interlude” by Ab-Soul fear Kendrick. It’s basically a sequel and the roles are reveresed from the Outro from Section 80. Kendrick is rapping & Ab is reciting poetry/ spoken word. Link: kzitem.info/news/bejne/x3pm0Ihof6Z3rW0

Also, when he says “I wish I could see out of Selassie eye” its also “Selassie I” or "Selassie the first." His subtle word play is top tier on these old projects. I love your videos and I’m stoked you did this album. Would love to see more MF DOOM/Viktor Vaughn/King Gheedora. Longterm 2 the mixtape by Ab-Soul is incredible, not well-rounded production, but some incredible word play! Also Revolutionary Volume 2 by Immortal Technique is intense, but incredible, amazing word play/punch lines and vivid storytelling and commentary on society/geo-politics. Keep it up!
