Track 2: 6/10
- 'Worst comes to Worst' sample! but somehow more monk like
- arcane biblical references
- 'we came from the atmosphere, the physical trapped is here'
- one step one flesh one breath – didn't roots manuva do a flip on this?
- the chorus is a mess
- ' religion is a prison for the seekers of wisdom'
- 'dueteronomy'
quite good but also a bit uninspiring

The last one was plodding
Track 3: 7/10
- immediately better, starker, more wu-tang-y, beat
- 'wisdom is the principle thing for kings and queens'
- 'i build lyrics like an art director'
- 'dreams of a scholarship ended by a hollow tip'
- does feel a bit like being lectured, also there's something laboured about the rhyme scheme
- 'hug the hips, drugs and whips'
- feels like homework
I liked that one

Track 4: 7.5/10
- 'peace' as a greeting, that's all over
- christ this album is 20 tracks long
- wow he sounds like Prodigy on this one
- sounds like the blueprint for 'ka'
- there's a man whistling on this and whistling is always a bit annoying
- this persistent sense already of tragedy, the fall from towers of lebanon and purple pampers to the fallen state
- the singing sounds like a lament too, 'we lived godly listening to bob marley'
- 'what goes up must come down, what goes down comes back around again'
- spray painting initials on the wall as a sad sign of how things have turned out
- this album feels too serious to be flippantly summarising like this
Definitely a strong one, but the whistle drove me a bit nuts

track 5: 8/10
- 'IT'S THE BYZANTINE KING'
- whoever this guy is (KP?) has instantly injected some lunatic energy into proceedings
- 'bore me/ corffee' rhyme
- this is quite exciting compared to what's gone on before
- ooh its inspectah deck
- 'state of the slums kill for a plate of crumbs'
- ooh its the GZA
- goddamn he's good, a bit sloppy, authoratitive, like a more technically tight RZA
- the GZA was the best bit there, the beat is bumpy

track 6: 8/10 (i'm overrating all these tracks really cos i like this one a lot more so should be a 9 but is it really a 9? EDIT: I'm bumping some others down now in preparation for the inevitable BIBLE 10)
- classical wu tangy piano loop here really like this beat
- the flow is a bit pedestrian again
- again, this is like the blueprint for ka isn't it, the flow too
- this one's only got 14,000 listens but its stronger than 'one step' with its 400,000 plays
- perversely, this is probably my favourite one so far

track 7: 8/10
- i like how weird this beat is and the structure like a panic attack
- its not an easy listen, which is admirable but is it listenable?
- this is getting into sir menelik level weirdness of flow
- i wouldn't say this is a home run but by far the most interesting and weird track so far
- apocalyptic paranoia energy
- fantastic

track 9: 7/10
- '60 second assassin' would be a good name for me if i prematurely ejaculated a lot
- this feels like the blueprint for non phixion
- this is a whole new york style i've forgotten, paranoia and mysticism
- looseness, scrappiness
- there's a guy singing like bone thugs n harmony now
- singing man one of the worst things i've heard since i started listening to this
- would i like this more if i was stoned?
- i appreciate the encouragement to think here, the lecturing hectoring tone but in this druggy weird context like being instructed on ayahuasca

track 10: 8/10
- didgeridoo (@Mr. Tea aphex twin classics)
- 'between the eye socket i'll build my sky rocket'
- mmm this is nice and weird, spoken word
- they've made a didgeridoo not corny somehow
- okay i've got to listen to some of this on hallucinogens
- really appreciating how not boom bappy parts of this album are, particularly the 4 minute spoken word piece over a didgeridoo
- reminds me of listening to mike ladd back in the early 00s
- also reminds me of kool keith
- 'have you ever tried DMT?' or angel dust
