I fucks wit Mac Mall, he got some decent flows. I see mufuckas on here didn't like that "Immaculate" album but that shit was tight to me. And that "Mackin Speaks Louder Than Words" was even tighter. I'm about to bump that shit now.
Yup, I agree. I think that the problem some fans may have had with IMMACULATE in '01 was the same problem that some had with ILLEGAL BUSINESS 2000 in '99; Mall's "mack" character, which he had established on ILLEGAL BUSINESS and UNTOUCHABLE, might have been so specific to the image that many fans had of Mall that when he came more political (and sometimes conscious) on IB2000 and IMMACULATE, some of his old-school fans might not have been ready for that. But yeah, both those CDs (and MACKIN SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS) each have one, maybe two songs I don't feel, but everything else is gravy.
And also, on Frisco Street Show's webpage ("Coming Soon"), there's a picture of the CD that Mall is supposed to be have done with JT The Bigga Figga. The release date says "July 6" (assuming that it doesn't get pushed back). Hope to hear more solo stuff from Mall, too, though...
PEACE!
