Tana Talk 4: The Report Card

Lyricism: A

Beats: B+

Features: C+

Lowlights: Guerrero, Weekends in The Perry's, 10 More Commandments

Highlights: Super Plug, Mr. Chow Hall, Johnny P's Caddy, Billy Joe

Who? What? When? Why?

The Buffalo-Niagara Falls area has a GDP of 53 billion dollars. In TT4 Benny hopes to convince you his crew played a role in that. Who is the Butcher? Benny is pat of Griselda a music colletive headed by Westside Gunn. The OG cast is related with WSG and Conway related thru blood ties and Benny through mob ties. Now it's important to note. WSG credentials check out and there's a hilarious picture of him and Sly Green during the tall tees era in the feds. As always take all street talk with a grain of salt, even Sly Green says he aint' did nuthin.

^{Sly Green is doing something like triple life and they "say" WSG ran the black car in the feds with Sly.}

The Funny, Goofy and the Bad

The Bad: Guerrero (featuring Westside Gunn)

Throughout the album Benny delivers time and time again. In his own word, "poised as Putin be". Other than Guerrero in which Benny stalls on truly otherworldly beat. Benny does what he do. Let's talk that track. It's Benny and Westside Gunn and neither like the beat with Westside Gunn sounding even more like a cranked up chipmunk than usual. It does seem like Benny was simply not feeling this beat but Gunn still brings the fun with silly lines such as "Linda sniffed it, did the robot". Yet it doesn't work. Guerrero is the worse song on this album by far.

The Goofy: 10 More Commandments (featuring Diddy)

You know this is the Griselda problem because older cats loved their outros, interludes and features we get strange strange tracks. Benny burns this track up even better than The Notorious BIG did on Ten Crack Commandments. Y'all should listen closely class is in session. Rule 12 should explain to any listener why the game is so fricked up. "Stand for something' or fall or anything, respect is like a shield". Then Diddy Did. Diddy's strange soliloquy about the black man being god and the black woman being even more important. Diddy becomes a feminist icon for all of 30 seconds and it is not good. No Dworkin here just Diddy.

The Funny: Back 2x (featuring Stove God Cooks)

Stove God Cooks whines on the chorus but he did bring it "back, back, back". Killer verse from both Benny and Cooks, I can see the balloon stamp and the rental doors. Cooks delivers the second best features on this trck with lines like. "Watched big home lay that shot up on the heat like Harld Miner" and Benny gets deathly honest to any hopeful Super Plugs.

"Scanners and lights, you value your team, you payin' 'em right? (You payin' 'em right?)"

"Candid advice, you gon' need 'em when they read the Miranda rights, yeah (Real shit)"

Good, Better, Best

Good: Super Plug

"My only wish was to get my bipocs rich"

"Hold my family down"

"And to find the plug"

Benny cooks the work, flips it, and hits the town. Super Plug is Benny's manifesto to the listener. He lays out his dreams, complains about how fake the competition is, and brags about the past. The Alchemist ding, dangs, and booms with a beauty of a beat on which Benny glids on top of. This is Benny and Darigner at their best, but Benny has made fifteen songs that are the exact same just with beats so I can't call this the best.

Better: Johnny P's Caddy (featuring J Cole)

The Alchemist, J Cole and Benny. It was going to be good no matter what but this track turned out great. While not the most cohesive with it's topics both Benny and J Cole show their "abilities to turn words to imagery prolly the reason they gon' remember me". Weirdly enough J Cole calls to rappers using gun and drug bars and killing the sport which is ironic at best on Tana Talk 4, it almost like Cole is calling out Griselda here. As the entire album is drug and gun bars. Who knows, Cole delivers as always and both ride the beat with passionate deliveries.

Best: Mr Chow Hall

The best for last. The Alchemist puts us in the scene with a beat so grimy and menacing it's almost ridiculous. This is the one. Benny comes in right on top of the beat with an unusual subject matter. Towards the end Benny complains about his image while appreciating the gift that Westside gave Griselda. Mr. Chow Hall is a short but sweet thank you note to his crew and a frick you note to his enemies.

"You brag about your whip, but how? That's a lease (How?)"

"Spent your down payment at Mr. Chow's on a Tuesday, now that's a feast"

Afterthoughts:

Benny struggles with features and subject matter but he always has. TT4 feels like 12 independent songs but the subject matter brings them back together. I wish their was more unity in themes and effort put into transitions like on TT3, but Benny brings the lyricism and while certain features disappoint when examined. Other than Diddy and Boldy on Weekends In The Perry's all the features are pretty solid even Westside Gunn. This is a great hustle album and I usually play it in the morning while I clean the house and workout. I didn't mention Thowy's Revenge and Billy Joe but they feel like Super Plug with different names and all of these tracks deliver but they don't distinguish outside of beat choice. A little work on feature placement and added cohesiveness and I would give this an A.

"Neighbors say they nice, but don't shake shit up like the Butch' (Uh-uh)"

"I got a movie deal, but chilling, 'cause my real life like a book"

• Bust A Brick Nick

Overall: A really solid B

Full Album with MW's:

I promise to music post once a day pretty bored while I'm waiting for classes to start back again. Next album we going Italy folks!

2 Samuel 6:14

Rep. Robert Garcia asks Paula Kerger about Sesame Street characters, including if Elmo is a communist.

He then says "If we're going to get rid of any puppeteers, we should get rid of the one that's actually controlling Donald Trump. Fire Elon Musk, and save Elmo." pic.twitter.com/h7jjeeQhXr

>In general, yes (UK). Poorer people have less access to healthy food (both practically and price-wise)

If a food is healthy or not has nothing to do with how much weight you gain from it

>Yep. Poor people can only afford lower quality food that is high in fat and sugar and is in some countries not sold fresh but frozen.

But they can't eat less of what they are already eating to lose weight?

>Plus watching too much TV advertising, they tend to buy ready made (or microwave ready) instant snacks that are less healthy and full of added carbs / sugars

Ransom fed my Father's Life,

Do not deign to write a Mystery,

Rather Crack-Cocaine and Modern Art,

Could be a sufficient History,

Apollinaire and Conrad,

were required reading,

Yet Bache-Martin Elementary School,

was the Education I was needing.

I was white, and they were Black,

This was around 1990,

A Philadelphia Tool,

A lunch-bag snack,

A cracker kid getting Grimy,

The Blacks,

They were a feral lot,

They let me know I was White,

And to be absolutely honest,

They were indeed,

Quite Right.

I can't begrudge the past,

Nor complain about the future,

This leaves me with the bleeding Present,

that I desperately need to suture.

Actually it's a ukranian guy

I have to be honest, my biggest fear in life isn't that my nephews will get hurt or die. If they get hurt, we will manage, we will get through it. If they die, well, it will break me and I will be devastated, and I honestly won't know what I will do, but the biggest fear in my life is that they will turn into these young men who hurt other people.

I honestly don't think I could love them if they did that.

/u/Rosebunse

You'd rather your kin die than what, stab a man in anger? Jfc you're subhuman

jesus christ man. my respects to whoever designed this psyop, look at how well its working

And no ones mentioning the crimes this was based on where both committed by blacks!

I mean, I have felt this way for a while. This show just sort of helped me realize that this fear wasn't unfoubded

"This show reinforced my terminally online worries."

this fictional agenda-filled show "confirmed" your already exaggerated and fearmongered beliefs...

god darn it man. how can it be this bad

/u/Kanye_Is_Underrated

Because god is dead and we have killed him.

funny - my wife and i just finished it yesterday and i turn to her and ask basically the same thing about our children

i asked, "would you rather (child) pass away or be put away in jail for murdering someone but still alive?"

we chose the latter, but then it divulged into more scenarios like well we'd rather them in jail alive if they were there for robbing a bank or something non-violent and not hurting anyone (unless it was something like manslaughter by total accident or self defense, etc). interesting thought exercise that really makes you dig deep...

!fellas look at these soulless pieces of shit! Jfc. Who would rather their child, their flesh and blood die than kill a man in anger or beat his wife?

Someone ping DeckardsDark and tell him he's a terrible rather and the reason boys are turning out the way they are.
