did this even hit, on the underground sales chart? how many sales, first week?

The album was just released yesterday. Next Wednesday would be the day you would find that out, when Billboard releases their chart information for the previous week. Since it is only being sold everywhere digitally and as a physical cd exclusively on Hatchetgear, it may not chart high since PSY probably won’t go out of their way to call Soundscan to tell them how many copies of it they sold on Hatchetgear as of next Monday. But there have been dozens of peeps tweeting their photos of physical copies of Garcia Bros cd in hand to AMB, and that’s just ninjas who fuck with Twitter, so I think the album is doing ok. I mean shit, the pre-order was just mailed out last Thursday and that Twitter photo shit is happening already, so I think it’s a good sign for the Boyz.

Still haven’t found any torrents on my go to sites, which means they haven’t sold many copies so far. Usually there’s at least a few people seeding next day.

I definitely found it on a torrent site, release day. There was a fair amount of seeds, too. Maybe you just need to look harder? Maybe you don’t actually care that much. Either way, it’s out there.

People dont know what theyre missing. This album is amazing.

I wouldn’t go as far as to call it amazing, it’s definitely good though. Better than the utter trash some people seem to think all AMB music is. Some shit took a few listens to grow on me, and there’s still tracks I skip altogether, but overall I’d consider it their most solid album, from what I’ve heard anyway.

Only song I skip is smoke kush and I even like that song, a lot. I skip it because I can’t relate to it–i cant smoke weed. Im beyond happy with my purchase. Obvious favorites are MOE, Might Go Mad, I Get Even, and Us Against The World. In no particular order other than Might Go Mad being number one. Otis fucking slaughters it man, the second that beat drops. So devastating.

Otis produced all the beats. Everything on that album except the features is solely the work of AMB.

If you can’t call them talented for their rap game, which I can’t wrap my head around but wont digress upon, then at least you can call them talented on the beat production. All of it was produced by Otis at The Lotus Pod

lol.. word life.. youre very constructive with your criticism haha… nah real talk i could give a fuck that you dont like them.. everyone has their own perceptions of what’s good & bad music.. & how to measure talent in a given field.. im well aware of mine & thats all i could give a fuck about..

I don’t know how to rap, so I can’t really give constructive criticism.  

 

“Do better next time,” is all I got.

 

so it is your fault.. haha i mean researching any field will obviously give you more insight on it.. & then certain talents will become more apparent… However i think with amb & you they just have voices that you hate for whatever reason.. which is really a make or break thing for any artist no matter what the talent level is imo…

Jesus Christ, dude.  I don’t need to research to know who sucks.  Like, I enjoyed Wu Tang back in the day.  I liked Redman, 2pac, and many other rap greats.  Before they were known as “greats.”  But for some reason I, along with many others, can recognize that AMB is not special.  Why can’t you handle that?  Are you financially invested in these guys?  Can I just say that I don’t like something without you trying to tell me there’s something wrong with me?  Fuck off, for real guy.

 

lol.. uh.. i didnt say anythings wrong with you.. was just tryin to help give you insight.. from my perspective anyway.. didnt realize i was coming off confrontational.. my bad haha.. i already said i dont really care.. you dont gotta be so defensive haha. i meant make or break as in obviously its a break with you & a completely understandable one given most circumstances.. either way my bad haha..

I’m not defensive.  Several times you questioned people’s (not just my) credibility simply because we don’t agree with you.

i dont remember questioning credibility.. i make my own judgements and speak on em sometimes.. the credibility or lack of is shown in what is said..

 It’s quite annoying. 

i find your perception of most things to be annoying.. sorry i baited an unwanted response by reacting to one..

Warlock’s known for thinking he has a superior understanding of “real hip hop” or lyricism or something stupid, so if you don’t agree with him then you don’t know talent and have no understanding of hip hop.

 

 

I finally listened to the album. Dopeness all the way through.

 

Though I can understand the repetitiveness complaint, all I can say is that if you don’t like something it sounds much more repetitive than what you do like. Because, in reality, most artists are very repetitive.

 

Either way, the beats are dope and are just that sound that goes along with AMB.

@randy-gall – Case in point. Deaf, DUMB and blind. Take your single sentence trolling and STFU. At least when @lucem-ferre wants to be dickish, he’s a million times more eloquent than your misspelled “attempts” to involve yourself. Piss off. (respek Lucem :P)

@the-warlock – LOLz …something, something ass out of me something, something… Sorry. I’ll be sure to apply the correct genitals to the mental image of your posts in the future.

For the record, I wasn’t so much coming to *your defense (as if you need it) as responding to these baited threads. Maybe it’s the titles of “Best” or “Worst” that seem to be popping up. Maybe if the core questions were phrased differently along the lines of preference as opposed to judgments, these kinds of “conversations” wouldn’t devolve into this kinda discourse (however entertaining they may be).

PS

Pro Tip: Restating someone else’s declarative statements as a question, does not a good argumentum make.

“I think this/that/or the other thing is good/bad/ineffectual”.

“Oh, really? You think this/that/ or the other thing is good/bad/ineffectual? Bullshit!”

Sarcasm in written form doesn’t translate into brownie points in anyone’s favor very well.

pfft.

I write with my very limited Jr. High education vocabulary. It just so happens that in a very undereducated and inarticulate country as the good ol’ US of A that a Jr. High vocabulary seems to be above average when in reality it is not. I blame our fucked up government for purposely keeping us stupid. (yes, I know it sounds paranoid but I really really am starting to believe that our government is keeping us stupid)

 

To be fair people from other countries don’t seem to be that much more educated than us. Though they usually know multiple languages when we only usually only know one. Iz calld txt langwich.

That’s why I don’t give people shit for their English if they’re not. “Your English is better than my… any other language.” But there’s something to be said for willful ignorance. I would never go to Japan and get all pissy cuz shit’s not in a language I understand and expect the whole place to accommodate my ignorance; and if I started living there, it’d be on *me to learn how to read the warnings on a label telling not to drink something or when not to cross a street. “Protect yoself… at ALL times!”.

Wait.. why are we on this? :P

I just didn’t want you to think I was calling you out.

Werd.

funny thing is, japanese students are required to learn english, so you probably would have a much easier time than you think, even if you never tried to learn any japanese at all.

True.

I was trying to think of someplace I’d actually WANT to go that had the most foreign language I could think of. From the language to their alphabet, I wouldn’t know what button to press on the vending machine to get the soda instead of the used girls panties. Decisions, decisions.

Yeah, it’s my fault AMB sounds like a spread asshole farting in my ear.  My fault for not recognizing talent.  Totally.  

 

Get over it.  They’re not for everyone.  And just because I’m a juggalo, doesn’t me I have to like them or compliment them.  I listened to the album 3 times.  Their voices are cringe-inducingly amateur fake bravado, skinny dork trying to sound hard shit.  Their beats are passable, with the exception of Might Go Mad being very good.

 

I’m not gonna sit here and lie to you guys.  I don’t fucking like AMB.  I want them to be better than they are, but they’re not.  And I’m not gonna lie to myself and say that they’re something they’re not.  

 

It’s not hate. 

 

It’s not blind.

 

It’s not personal.

 

It’s 100% pure, unadulterated conflict of taste in music.

^ word.

But my question is, is the asshole bleached? Hemmoroids in there? Whose asshole is it, anyway? Hit me back.

So by your logic that some of us cannot recognize talent (and you can) Mr. @the-warlock , how do you explain this:

I apologize for bringing you into this, but you make a fine example @ltb , so if –

Ltb thoroughly enjoys AMB and so does Warlock, then you both understand the “talent” that fellows such as @luckynumbrxiii and myself do not possess. Okay maybe you’re right. You are a rapper, after all.

Next, you Warlock enjoy Esham, Natas, and Myzery. You can see their talent and recognize that they aren’t wack in the rap game, as it were. 

I also enjoy Esham, Natas and Myzery. A lot. How can I see their skill and not AMB’s?

Ltb, from what I’ve gathered, DOES NOT enjoy Esham, Natas, nor Myzery. He sounds like he very much does not find them talented.

How can three people from different walks of life, whom all enjoy ICP and Twiztid so much, yet cannot agree on the talent of four other groups who were all at some point associated with their treasured record label’s acts? (Omitting Mastamind as I don’t believe he has done any Psy tracks… TNT has done a couple guest shots)?

Mathematically it makes no sense. So maybe, just maybe, it is exactly what Lucky said: personal tastes in music.

I know Eminem is one of the greatest. I don’t usually listen to him since I don’t care for his voice, attitude, or vibes. Am I stupid because I don’t want to listen to another grown man, albeit a talented one, rhyme words in my eardrums that mostly just irritate me?
