With The Beatles
Beatles
With the beatles. A pesar de no tener muchos exitos que se mantienen relevantes, empieza fuerte fuerte con it wont be long que es una cancion de rock solida con tremendo riff.
Una de mis top 3 canciones de los beatles esta ahi que es all my loving y un karaoke go to mia.
Luego de par de canciones originales entran en covers que pues le meten pero no son originales la mejor de ese batch del disco es money tuats what I want que canta Lennon y esta bien cabrona y rockea para cerrar el album en un higher note. El que escogio el orden de canciones es el fucking mejor porque hay 2 o 3 canciones que bajan intensidad y despues boom right up otra vez.
Todos los albums de los beatles para mi son 5⭐️ menos 2 de ellos

Good album with a whole lot of Pistols on it. Tough to judge in context. Its more of a continuation of where they left off another band. Last 2 songs I could live without too experimental and crappy in all honesty but thats what punk is really about.
You can imagine this album influenced Pink Floyds The Wall as a critique to the fascist state and a little screw you to The state for what the did to nevermind the bollocks. Also we hear a similar beat line to Another one bites the dust of Queen.
Meaning this follow up project of johnny rotten was highly influential for the next years after pistols dissolved.
Its better to judge it now amd see how it is so important in context to the progression of the post punk and rock scene.

Franz Ferdinand
It has to be on my top 5 list pf the 2000s albums. Short and powerful taking post-post punk to a higher level. In context the USA was taken over by hip-pop and tons of mediocre rappers were on the airwaves not leaving space for rock bands like this one.
Rock and Pop Rock had a big bang left at the time to fight the ressistance with bands like Muse, Killers, Darkness, Velvert Revolver, Evanescence, Audioslave, White Stripes, Cold Play, Modest Mouse, Von Bondies, Sugarcult, Strokes, Amy Winehouse, Lot, Keane, New Found Glory, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Zebrahead, FOB, Fastballs, MCR, Maroon 5, Razorlight, Bowling for Soup, Tegan and Sara, Interpol, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan and some other was still not enought to balance the wave of hundreds of rappers getting signed and releasing 💩 on a daily basis. It was a good fight and a great year for rock and pop rock.
First song put me off a bit but once that starts the CD just gets better and better. Maybe it should have been the last song.

Vi que es del 1969 y cambia todo mi analisis y perspectiva.
Estaban bien alante mezclando funk y jazz americano con metal y con toque de los beatles y una fuerte influencia de rock psicodelico y con rock progresivo como moody blues.
Pienso que lograron incorporar todos esos generos eficientemente en un mismo sonido que no es algo facil de lograr.
Este es el mejor LP que esta banda ha sacado en sus 50 años. No es mi favorito pero en contexto es el mejor musicalmente y los arreglos estan muy fuera de control y lo hacen un LP unico ue abrio camino para otros grupos
Quizas hay demasiados solos de guitarra y despues de un rato cansan pero sogue siendo un excelente LP

Hybrid Theory
Linkin Park
What should be considered one of the nest albums in hostorynof recorded music. Linkin took the world by surprise acheiving what only the Beatles could do over and over again, to have 90% of the album become successful singles each each song being more powerfull and better than the song before. Nu-metal with rap and strong lyrics and riffs. Simply a perfect album from start to finish, that captured the feeling of hopelessness of a whole generation. The combination of an insanely great voice on Chester (RIP) and power chords with desperation and anger is a helping hand to all people feeling the same way. Its not only the great music is about how this album saved lives by talking their truth.
The successful formula that was Limp Bizkit was perfected by Linkin Park making this the best LP of the 2000 by a mile. They repeated the dose in their next album and as great as Meteora is and should be considered top 20 of the 2000. There is absolutely no way to top perfection but they tried and second chance they were almost perfect as well.

Thos is a really good album very easy to listen to and flowing amazingly. By 1972 I feel they became a better band without the beatles pressure. Was a different kind of pressure all about taking the vacant spot. They did well I like em but this album its not my favorite.

This band is super underrated. An amazing British Invasion band that lived at the same era as the Beatles with a smaller life span.
This is their best album and their phsychadelic pop rock with their Beatles influence makes this a really really good album with great fluidity. Band split up too soon and only did 2 albums I believe in their short lived span. Saw them in concert recently qnd they are still good. They recorded more albums but their 60s glory days they only did 2.
These are one of what could have been bands that reached a peak in a short period and left a good dent on the history of music.
Must listen to album.

Booket T is still an underrated talent in my opinion. This specific album are cover songs which most have great arrangements and pretty original to say the least.
I used to not like them when I was a kid as I felt it was elevator music because its instrumental but these dude could play and jam. The fact that they were a mixed rock band back in the early 60s makes it much more important.
Today I was able to really appreciate this album for what it is as a grown up and understand the importance of Booker T in context of his time.
I love a few of their original stuff that came after this debut album which definitively left a mark and paved the way.

This has got to be one of the best albums of the 2010-2019 decade. I had forgotten how good it is. The song order is impecable. Its a progressive love story with diferent rythyms and beats that works as a continious song.
Its very rare to find an album like this now a days where the producers only care about making one or 2 singles.
This is a masterpiece and although I like El camino’s albums singles a bit more this really work as an album and I enjoyed it more than the album with the better singles.

My respect for Dolly as a human being is far greater than my dislike for her genere. I find her voice to be beautiful and soothing and kind of mesmerizing at the same time. She sound like southern comfort and it helped me go through most of the album.

With a mix of samba, soca and baticsds and lyrics in portuguese and english and including indigenous music this is easily top 3 of the greatest death metal albums ever and shows us the diversity Brasil has.
At the highth of their musical career it shows how much they matured as musocians not just showing off their insane musical ability but actually making better arrangement choices and understanding only playing fast and with range it makes a good death metal song.
Inviting other musicians from around the metal scene using their fame to spread this album and push sales around the world which it did.
Its really hard and intense but very well done. Having 2 classical guitar songs right in the middle of the album lind of like an interlude to have the listener relax and rebbot the brain for the second part of the record which is even more intense than the first part. Great move by the producer. Sound of recording is clean and crispy

Enjoyed the album. Never heard it as an album only one or 2 song. Was surprised a lot of energy and kind of a post punk but organized and well written arrangements. Its like a step on the punk rock movement before pop punk came into the scene.
The voice sounds like kids singing with some hatred inside but nothing like old school punk of abandoned or disturbed dudes just screamming and playing instruments they didnt knew how to play.
Much more compex music than early punk. One of the better albums from that era. Unfortunately it didnt have a lot of airplay in USA as they were busy with hip-hop and skipped this solid LP.
The 80s rock of motley crue and glam rock era mixed with hardcore punk is a great mix. Can totally see me playing tony hawk pro slater playing this album

Masterpiece amongst masterpieces. If thosbAlbum is not in your top 5 rap albums of all times you should not have a saying about anything having to do with rap.
To me its toss up between illmatic and this for 1st and 2nd place followed by PE’s fear of a black planet, slim shady album and eother black star or Eric B and Rakims paid in full.
The Score changed the raps course and the vocal range and stylenplus the lyrical content delivered by Lauryn Hill helped put them in another planet. Too bad Wyclef and Lauryn were not mature adults and called it quits in the height of their fame.
They were so good that all three went on solo careers and their debut albums were top of the chain with Miseducation, The Carnival and ghetto superstars. Simply too much talent in a small space like the beatles.

Best metal album ever still the original which started metal. Simply a masterpiece from begining to end. The begining is still scary to hear. Its like if you are sneaking into a satanic sacrifice ritual.
There are not many albums still today after 55 years that are this powerful. New generes have emerged and still nothing can surpass this debut album for a band or for a genere.
Its a blueprint that will never be equaled and even thou there are a few who have given it a run for the top spot like van halen and guns debut they still lacked something.
Ozzy’s crazy pitch and tony’s dark heavy riffs along with geezers baseline and bill’s off-tempo tempo drumming makes this a top 20 album ever.
I can only imagine buying this album and listening to that first song my mind would have melted if I were 13 and heard that in 1970. I envy those kids who got to experience that moment first hand.
Maybe its a little short but the lable had no clue what thos was and how it would change the music scene and history so probabaly recorded just seven songs cause it was too much too soon to have it been a 10-11 song album.

Begining with enter sandman was a show stopper and followed by sad but true was absolutely brilliant in a side A with all singles.

Although a good album to put at the beach and chill while letting it run. It really is just an album for that.
Pretty good reggae from some English whiteboys who had a strong influence from Bob and made great music with little ways to get more reggae music back in England and they managed to stay loyal to the real thing. Too much dub in this album and gets boring after a few songs if listening deeply to it.
Fun good album good music but not great although it was innovative for Europe and groundbreaking at the time.

Surprised by this album. Had not listened to it in its whole since 1980s when I played GIJoe and put tapes while I played for hours on hours.
This was a new sound back when it came out and including lots funk and disco influences speciallynin that instrumental one which I cant remember the name but its amazing.
Its a really good album and I fell in love with it over again. It has 2 songs that are mid thats the reason im giving it a 4

What in the ungodly hell bunch of hippies experimenting with strong acid and playing instuments randomly is this.
Although solid, 20 songs is a bit much even more when its a repetitive tune. 14 would have been better. Not great other bands from this era ara much better.

Surprisingly awesome. Outlast who were legend before their debut album back in Atlanta show in this debut why the hype for them.
An amazing album from a genere I dont really indulge in. I can honestly say ots one of the best rap albums Ive heard and even thou it was a little long and with to many intros outros interludes they somehow work to help the flow and coherence of the album.
Assuming C-Lo Green was the producer he shows a unique style and approach to general rap and builds an album that breaks barriers of the rap culture cult. The tracks are funky and you dont know what to expect from song to song which makes it great.
Big Boi can rap and Andre 3000 is a gangsta he can flow slow and sometimes quick showing a range not many had recorded at the time. Being a real complete artists and musician his falsettos and aporoach to mix hardcore rap and experimental rap with his towns distinctive sound makes this an unorecedented and top rap album of all time.

Their first album was too similar to pistols and other pioneers (which the memebers of PIL were part of) and although good as an album it was jist the same music.
This second album they went a bit further and really experimented with new sounds and new wave and its a great concept album with it raw punk roots.
Its a wierd album but musically better and very innovative for the post punk movement.

I have always hated the intro. It actually pushed me away from the album as a college kid. Still I skipped and listened to the first song that I liked and then the singles.
This album doesnt get enough credit (minus tje stupid intro) as ground breaking for the nu-metal genere and a whole generation. Its a really good aalbum and ai was surprised I can still love it as a grown as man. Its kind of a childish teen rant music but its still fun although rebellious at the same time.

The Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest
What we had previously heard the few years earlier before low end theory was gangsta rap with ice-t, 2pac, nwa, eric b and others this was the album that started the movement of experimental rap that lead the way for fugees, wu-tang and other rappers attempting to create a fussion between rap and other generes, styles and cultures.
The smooth jazzy low key relaxing vocals of Q-Tip and the contrasting more hard and powerful delivery of Phife and Jarobi with an extreme influence a knowledge of jazz made this a totally different sound never heard before in rap. De la soul had already had a different approach but this was a jaw dropping album cause the mix of styles simply killed it.
This should be a top 10 rap album of all time. It has not been given the credit it deserves because of the way it changed rap music

This dude is simply one of the best ever. Not only a Beatle but jad a successful solo career as well as his side projects and gigs. He had the privilege of being able to choose anyone and they would all say yes in a hearbeat.
This Album is insane. Only a Beatle could do ballards, country and blues in the first half and get away with it. Album is short and almost perfect. I would have placed Imagine as either the last song of side A or last song of the album.
I dont want to be a soldier should have been a single cause its an amazing song very true and powerful. Clearly it was not played. Album is a lottle too slow paced for me bit that was John’s strenght powerful lyrics and themes clear to understand for anyone who was listening.
I give this an easy 5⭐️. Could have been better order but works either way. Id love to hear the songs that didint make it Im sure there are some gems there as well.

Really good album. Better now than whem it came out for me. It was too slow and maybe too social and compasionate talking about not only the the social-political-racial problems at the time but also talked about solutions for them. I was young and into gangsta rap and even thou I liked the singles and purchased it I mever gave it the airplay it deserved in the soundtrack of my life.
Listening to it now is a different thing and mindset understanding better how bad the world is specifically the USA and its social problems which are the same as they were wjen the album was released and 100 years before that.
This was a fusion of rap and funk with indie vibes which made it unique and innovative for its time. Arrested Development have not gotten the credit they deserve in the rap evolution.

I ised to not like Elvis Costello when I was a kid in the 80s they would play his stuff every now and them in Puerto Rico he was not as big but I only liked a handfull of songs over time. I looked at him and he looked goofy and like a character created based on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly.
Now as am adult Im really into his music and his albums as wholes are amazing. Just clean fun pop rock musis for everyone with songs the length of a punk song. Very unique style and good writing. I listened to this 2 times in a day. Would have mever listened to it as an album if it werent for this initiative.

Really liked the album maybe a bit too long with over 20 songs and some are too popish for the others that are in the album. Im giving it 4 cause it could have been more rockish. The Beatles influence is undeniable but they did manage to do it in their own fashion

This is one of the best if not the best heavy metal album of all time in my book. Remember when my older brother used to play the shit out of this record. He would let it play, both sides.
The intro to Running with the debil was spooky to me as a lid that sound I had never heard before and the when Michael Nathony drops that bass line is just one of those wow music moments which are just a few in life. After the first song Eddie Van Halen drops the nastiest solo on Record in Eruption and simply just blows your mind as it was 100% sure at the time you had not heard anything like this before.
The best debut album ever and including a cover that was just a masterpiece overtaking the originals impact for ever.
Having a handsome crazy leadsingers who has to be regarded as one of the best rock frontmans ever, an insanly top notch drummer, one of the best bass players, composers and backing vocalist with the best guitar player ever is a recepie for success.
The mix of punk and hard rock with the sound of Eddie’s guitar god sounds and how the killed the live performance made them instant legends and this album started what turned out to be the begining of the careers of one of the best if not the best hard rock band in the USA and probably the history of recorded music.

Understanding its early 80s ots cool for the time, dont think the music hold up. Most songs sounds like an 80s montage of a romantic comedy. I can see eddie murphy in beverly hills cop with any song.
Its not bad for being brit pop and early synth pop it most have been great back then. Follow up acts were much much better but these guys paved the way for the better stuff so respect must be given at all time.
Fu songs, happy songs but they lack something I cant pin point. The over use of the synth although part of the genere it gets boring.

What to me is one of the greatest unplugged albums ever if not the top 1, I kind of feel its cheating cause it a live amd they select somgs from all albums. Fortunately they chose an amazing set list that suits the unplugged performance.
The fact that the recording is clear and not sloppy as they were makes you appreciate the subtleness in his voice and how good it could be when used as the main vehicle in their music. Being able to see how kirst and dave interacted as a band on stage when they were doing something they knew was more important than just playing for teens and altered mind stated people fucked up out of their minds is awesome and there was chemestry even when you can tell Kurt was the leader of the group.
Really good album and a cover that is better than the original in Man who sold the world. Playlist was chosen very carefully to make the best out of each song and the acoustic arrangements for some were even better than their recording session version.
Overall this is a masterpiece as an album.

Pantera
This bamd started at the same exact time as Metallica. Rougher and more hardcore they are idolized and this album might be a strong reason why.
Metallica was a bit less metal and had catchier music. Much better musicians than Metallica and their piers. These guys were the truest metalheads.
This is a gem and a staple of metal history a must have for any rocker.

Miriam Makeba
We dont hear enough of her although she has that voice and control of it.
Dont know many songs and probably heard only one before in my life but know her from reading about the Balck Panthers and Harry Belafonte as she was a political force that raised her voice against injustice. She was blackballed in the USA and ended he "international" career. That I know from books but never heard her music which is really good and you can tell its a 50-60 vibe. Specially when you hear where they got the lion sleeps tonight hope she got her dues. All of the 90s Disney songs were taken from her as I can hear.
Beautiful voice, good arrangements, good recording, different languague but anyone can understand pain in others voices. Amazing but which I knew her native tongue to understand or even sing along.
PS charles coleman singlehandedly destroyed a beautiful song called one more dance. Horrible

Madonna
As much as I dislike electronica, pop and dance music, I have to say this album is very good. Madonna reinventing herself after years of domination and fussioning a ton of different generes to make this experimental album which turned out to be better than ever expected.
Dont love any specific song but after listening to it in order without interruptions I can say its a top Madonna album and probably top of that genere.
This rates high because of the context of Madonna having to bring something new and different to the table and she brought it. The slow songs kill the vibe mood for me but still those are decent songs.

Peter Gabriel
Although I love Phil Collins, it was Peter the creative experimental force in Genesis. Once I listened to this album back in the day, I understood why he left in persuit of making different new original music and not go the safe way of commercial pop rocl like Genesis did and later Phil Collins.
I think Phil is a better songwriter and he relies on his lyrics but Peter is more about the sound and music so his arrangements are more unique and difficult. He didnt follow the commercial success formula and went for the musician title. Well earned
Overall a great album very conceptual and experimental yet you can still feel the genesis and Phil Collins influence linger in the music.

The aura of the crescendo on the songs make it seems like the world is going to end and all songs are like a victory party. This may have been by the fact that hos previous album made him famous amd rich and this album is much heavier and you can hear deeper influences by english rock bands including a rolling stones cover and by the american music of the time.

Great concept album taking psychadelic rap to new hights. Although the beastie boys had done it in their album pauls corner and a tribe called quest after them. The definitive psych rap album has to be black sunday by Cypress Hill. That is the album that keeps on giving and was followed by temple of boom which is also in the top 3 ever. B-Real followed with his side project psycho relam from the soul assasins and killed it there as well.
That being said this album is absolutely fabulous and deserves to be a top rated psych rap album. Maybe a bit to close of sound to Cypress but if you gonna do something great, make sure to borrow your influence from the best to ever do it

Before this album to me Common was just a good rapper but never really liked his flow or producers arrangements, enter Kanye West who 100% produced and arranged the beats for the tracks.
Common finds a beautiful flow where you can listen to the lyrics be above most rappers at the time. A revival of a dying career and a push into another level all at the same time.
This is really one of the best rap albums Ive heard in a lo g time as its sounds biographical life of a black man in america.

I had never heard a whole album after the 80s until today. Would just have my 2 fave songs in my mix tape. Theor importwnce for the scene and the genere is incalculabe. They are part pf the first generation of punk hard rockers that could actually play and write. They are hardly ever named or mentioned but they are rowdy and loud.

He can be a good song writer and musician. But I just can't understand the fascination. He is like a shein version of Bob Dylan who also has the same problem as well as randy newman and probably van morrison. They all sound alike and none of them blow my mind in any way.
Its an above average Album but really nothing special. The best part was the introduccion.

Surprised on this one. I had never given this group a shot and although I had heard a few random songs I didnt really get into those songs so never listened to an album bit this is a very good album although I still dont love them.
The song I liked the least was the single which pushed me away when this album was released.
Glad I had the chance to listen now older and give it a chance and now I can judge it better.

As a teenager I refused to like this band. I was into heavy metal and drooling over Van Halen, Ozzy, Zepplin, Floyd and other bigger harder bands.
A girl friend of mine loved this album, she used to tell me you will love it. I was being an ass because it was "country". Little did I know this album would be in my top 200 albums for the rest of my life.
The album is perfect 10 songs all around the 5 minute mark, ordered perfectly by the producer, the smooth rock vibe mixed perfectly with the country aspect makes it something not many had pulled off before them.
This is an absolute masterpiece even if dislike this type of rock.

Just when I was about to give up on music Amy reappeared in my life with this album which I consider to be one of the top 3 in the of the 2010 if not the best album in the past 15 years.

I remember when they first started and they were sonething diferent and some of my friends didnt knew what to think of it.
By this album they were already settled down and well respected everywhere.
An amazing meltong pot of cultures they took all and everything from their hoods in LA and made an incredible album with influences from all over the world. In this one they incorporated the middle eastern sound along with salsa, hip-hop, funk, jazz and some other generes simply an amazing feat.
Them talking about activisim and social issues probably didnt help them get on the airwaves just like RATM before them but this album is 5 star album no doubt a must listen to album.

Its awesome as its very varied and they can deliver diferent styles and tinings and rythyms. These guys way above the curve at this stage and you can tell Andre 3000 is a musical genius.
Too long but the jazz and instrumental interludes and songs give you a rest and makes it very pleasing. I was gonna rate it a 3 but tje strong finish took me to the 4

One pf those wtf moments when you realized there was an album this good and you had never even heard the artists name before yet you become an instafan. Im going to give it 5 stars cause the smoothness of the tracks and the jazz and rap lyrics blend in ways I had not listened to in a while. This guy is real talent.

Wow just wow. A pop punk rock gem. Clear influence of punks best in a fussion with Elvis Costello and other pop rock bands from the 80s
A lot of bands have tried but these guys feel fresh and this album is good since the first chrord strikes. A little bit of ozzy and english metal as well.
Had not listen it in a minute but it holds up and I think they will have a resurgance in 10 years and become bigger than when they first came out.
Amazing album produced by themselves no big producer or lable pushing for commercial hits and these guys delivered hard punk rock and a pop commercial hit.

Fast, raw, hardcore, with rythym, sounds like a sexual thing but Im talking about the music. Insane display of mastering all instruments. This band is loyal to their roots and they could have gone mainstream and vecone billionares like metallicawhen they went pop rock but these guys are true musicians.
Album must be considered one of the top 10 ever metal albums. Only 12 short songs but they are all powerful and the perfect length.
Im a fan and this has been a staple of my metal soundtrack since high school back in the 90s.

The religious lord praying bullcrap is definitively not my thing and this is a prayer album
Still at the time Elvis was already out with something new and the platters, fats domino and little richard were rocking hard by then.
Their harmonies are tight thou. Two voices one high another low but great equalizing for a cool sound that at the time might have been diferent
It was a time that music was changing from traditional stuff like this country to rock and roll and this album might be some of the last of its kind so in context it was a good album to depart from that time.

I forgot how great this was. It would have been perfect without speed demon and librarian girl. All other songs are hit after hit after hit.
But the most impresive thing about the album is the progression and storytelling, common theme in songs (except librarian girl) with tying intros and outros.
Its simply a maseterpiece that everyone should enjoy. Probably top 10-15 album in history of recorded music.

Had a few hits but its far from a top 300 album.
Most songs sound too much alike too repetitive samples, same rhythm and beat mostly. Great use of the harmonies really good voices on all 3 members. Too pop its not for me but I can see the production value and talent on this album.
Most songs they over do the voice show off and it talkes away from the album flow. Looks like who has the greatest voice competition and it doesnt sound natural.

As a concept album is simply a 10 but the recording mixing failed. I liked this cd as a kid but I could never love it as the beats were too loud and I couldnt really follow the lyrics.

Elton John
What I think is Elton Johns masterpiece. Pace is faster and more rock and rollish. Altough a lot of piano he definitively made the best and made it work for him without losing the rock and roll and adding to it making it kind of unique. With the pianoman Billy Joel pushing towards a more popish rock, elton kept it hard and indie with even a little bit of ska.
This is a once in a lifetime album for the time and place was determining in the place of rock pop genere. Excelent in all aspects a 5 star job

Snoop Dogg
This album stopped the rap world in ot tracks. After listening to aggressive gangsta rap like ice-t, Cypress Hill and 2pac plus dre came put with the chronic a more laid back gansta rap with less attitude and aggresiveness and had included Dogg to it and all the songs he was featured made the charts.
This was even better cause it was a look at the life of a gangsta rap not only in the gang world but in his daily routine. Showed us nother side of the gang world and how they function around their lifestyle. It helped humanize thug life and their culture. It brought light to other stuff they were into.
Later came bones thugs and harmony and others but this changed the gangsta world and how it was seen through music. Its a autobigraphical masterpiece that will always be relevant to the rap genere

Its one of the most underrated groups in history. I feel they are so versatile and amazing musicians. This album has so much variety and diffent sounds and music.
This is an experimental confept album that even with a cover of the stones its simply breathtaking something really different and fresh still today.
Really insane that it sound better today than I remember back in the 80s.

This is a concept album from their 1960s run. Then they evolved into what they are known for. They disco era. But before that they were a regular good band but not very disctinct from others they evolved and left the others behind.
Not great to me but its well done and recorded pretty decent concept albu

There are a lot of great rappers out there and ghostface killa is a great one. Amazing MC and one of the best in the Wu.
Although not as good as a wu-tang album because its the same voice and similar flow and style of that era a few great tracks that were surprising but not many.
Found this time around the beats are pretty repetitive and lacking cuts to make them more dynamic. Some good sampling well thought and on the dot.
Very good album maybe one of the best wu-tang members solo project but still the wu-tang goat was method man as a rapper and RZA as a producer
Remember most stuff is temporary but wu-tang is 4ever
