...Fucking incredible.
Where the fuck did that come from!? That's no disrespect to Sean-T, I've always felt everything he's put out and produced on, Straight From The Streets, Can I Shine, Heated were all tight, but this one just blew me away.
The tightest Bay CD I've picked up in a couple of years. Period. Production is clean as hell throughout. Beats are on point. The whole damn album just raises the bar for quality, pretty much every track just bumps in my ride.
I was already figuring on 2003 being a good year for Bay releases - the Messy & Marvaless joint, the Keak Da Sneak CD, the Black C album (another heated CD) all top notch shit, and damn even Sleepdank's latest joint is knockin.
But its going to take something special (Federation droppin before New Year!?) to beat Terrain Boss, this album is the dopest thing I've heard for a minute. It should get some proper distribution because as an album that is entirely self produced it is an incredible piece of work to deliver so much quality on the boards and on the mic throughout.
Damn people wet themselves when Eminem did something similar on his last album - someone producing it all and spitting it all? people was going wild - but Sean T done it many times before and he's just done it again this time better than ever, difference being with no major-label support, so to me this CD is an amazing example of being dope and being able to deliver being more important than being breaded up by a big label with super-producers.
I love everything 40 puts out and his CD this year was no exception, but in respect to those who didn't like the way 40 went on his last joint to appeal to a wider audience, to me Sean T new CD demonstrates a much better attempt at producing something that will please anyone who knocks Bay area music but also be accessible coast to coast.
I mean we ain't just talking about a bay CD here, a lot of the tracks got that Bay feel but the production is so clean and so knockin that I truly believe any right minded hip hop head would be playing this CD. Sean T really seems to have put a lot of work into delivering for Bay heads and also appealing to a wider audience.
The samples, the production, damn he really stepped it up on this one, real talk it sounds like platinum production on a lot of them tracks, some of them sound like they could be off a Jay-Z CD with them 70's samples, but with a Bay flava, Sean T doesn't forget to bring the funk on that shit. Some serious quality control on all the beats that he's used, I'm feeling every single one of them, and you cant front on any of the spits either, near enough every track is heat.
Have been waiting a few years for an injection of quality into the CD's that been droppin in the Bay, a few too many tired albums with too much filler, but to me Messy & Marvaless, Keak Da Sneak, Black C etc all done it real nice this year with clean complete products, and now Sean T has dropped a fucking bomb on everyone, if you dont got it, you got to swoop it, he's only gone and challenged every Bay cat to raise their game.
Now all we need is a Quinn CD, a Federation Cd, and real distribution for all these joints, and we can really be talking about the Bay being on the come up again. I can't think of any albums coast to coast or worldwide this year I've liked more than Terrain Boss.
