Its real different. the sound quality is significantly worse, the beats are RobLo instead of Lev Berlak, and the lyrics are way more "murda murda kill kill" on Savage Times than Thug Deluxe. On Savage Times there's more tracks, more intensity to the flow, less laid back tracks, less songs talking about relationships, and no introspective tracks like "This Town.
My opinion is that if you want to hear an A-Wax CD that is more gangsta and more intense than Thug Deluxe, get 65 G's in a Jordan Briefcase. The sound quality and music quality are much better, in my opinion, than Savage Times.
peace.
