Styles basically explains his whole style in 4 lines on Ghost P: "I aint tryin to hear shit but I need too/I'm thugged out but I motherfuckin read too/I'm conscious but I like to blow weed too/So I'm complex, I'm on the armrest, life ain't right yet" That's straight memory to give you an indication of how much I burned that shit when it dropped 2 years ago. Not exactly G Unit Radio 9. Maybe my favorite mixtape of all time besides Mood Muzik 2Abe Beamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555083249178098320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011834419662563584.post-46749089355497254262008-11-13T07:31:00.000-08:002008-11-13T07:31:00.000-08:00I liked it pretty much for something to rock in th...I liked it pretty much for something to rock in the whip for a week then forget about for a year. I have to take a shower in holy water after listening to Styles' mixtapes--it's usually 25-30 songs straight of death threats, beatdowns, and gangsta shit. As much as I love his voice, flow, and I guess "cerebral" approach to street hop, it wears me out after a while.<BR/><BR/>And "Time is Money" should've stayed shelfed, so "Super Gangster" is a serious upgrade by default.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011834419662563584.post-90293576922416244242008-11-13T01:35:00.000-08:002008-11-13T01:35:00.000-08:00The snippets I heard don't compare.

Styles is a lethal guest but honestly his last solid album in my opinion was his damn near classic Ghost in the Machine mixtapeAbe Beamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555083249178098320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011834419662563584.post-84539537492582806482008-11-12T11:44:00.000-08:002008-11-12T11:44:00.000-08:00Great piece Abe.I came onto the Styles P bandwagon...Great piece Abe.<BR/><BR/>I came onto the Styles P bandwagon late (probably '05-'06). I agree that his biggest crime is sometimes too much music, not enough quality control, from his LPs to his mixtapes. <BR/><BR/>What are you thoughts on "Super Gangster, Extraordinary Gentleman"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
