🙏🏾BLESS YOU GUYS🙏🏾 for reacting to "All Kinds Of Ideas"! One of my favorite tracks off the "Modern Day Classic Album" & Grammy Nominated: Common & Pete Rock- "The Auditorium Vol. 1". You have to put this on your long list of albums to review & react to for sure. You will thank me later.😉

2025-06-01 09:20:14 +0000 UTCWhat a great reaction! I actually don't feel that Pete Rock is mentioned among the greats like he should be. Or, it could be he does not drop as often as he used to and I kind of forgot about how dope he is. So, thanks for the reminder! Also, I'm so relieved that you liked "Drug Rap". I knew it would be very different than Rock's more popular/well known tracks but I was hoping that it would showcase his versatility. It was so cool when dad said something about him being versatile. By the way...Pete Rock produced the ep that that track was on, it was called "Statue of Limitations", a mostly Smoke Dza and Benny the Butcher project (Conway the Machine, Styles P and Westside Gunn are featured on tracks too). Definitely worth a listen! I appreciate you guys and always look forward to your drops. STILL the only Page that I'm a Patron of!
