Hmm. I guess I thought 12RTD was a bigger hit in the cafe. Seems to me like it was huge topic of discussion for weeks after its release.
But I know opinions change. I once preferred it to Fishscale, but that album never stops sounding fresh to me. It's probably my favorite record of his after Supreme Clientele, though Ironman is way up there too.
Ill admit, 12 Reasons... hasn't aged that well for me, despite being very obviously a great record. It's just too narrow. I genuinely thought that 36 Seasons was a more exciting record instrumentally. But I'm tiring of the comic book thing as I mentioned earlier. I felt like 36 Seasons had a more universally appealing sound, even though the lyrics were just as limited as those on 12 Reasons due to the storyline, which is not actually the thing I care about when it comes to these albums...
"Love Don't Live Here No More" for instance, felt like kind of a classic soulful hip hop song, and it reminded me of SC and Fishscale. But the 12 Reasons albums exist in their own little sub-sub-genre... Their own microverse. You can't just throw those albums on whenever. That's why I'm eager for Ghostface to get back to pumping out some good old fashioned bangers.
Nothing against either 12 Reasons or 12 Reasons II, nor 36 Seasons... I just think he's played with that idea enough for one decade. Let's get back to basics, and hear some songs about pussy and coke and Kung fu
