"The Thrill Is Gone" <<<< classic

This album goes hard with tracks like Follow we, but still gives that inspirational touch wit other tracks like So Close, So Far, great collabo on every level.

Sick album! Late as hell on my review, but I copped the album and instrumental copy of this when it dropped. It didn't disappoint. The production was classic statik. Dope blend of modern hip-hop and boom bap. The guest list fit well on every song and everybody just came correct. I'll be on the look out for 1982 when it drops.

The best song is The Thrill is Gone, it's one of the best beats I've heard.

All I have to say is if your a true hip-hop fan, buy it no questions asked. Not one bad song on this whole cd. Statik is on point everytime.

Negs on the masterpiece he ain't no rugged man definatly not good enough to make it as a white rapper not even close. Maybe he could try some jazz or pop or some bull like that?

This dude right here lives and breathes hip hop and it shows through this wonderful masterpiece!!

This is the first album of Statik I have bought. I looked back and he is on a lot of other CDs but they have never shown him. He released a CD with Nas but wasn't shown, wonder if it's because dude's white. Anyways I think this CD bangs, the beats are all good and the rapping is top notch. There's not hip hop line dance songs on it either which is always great in my eyes. Solid buy, don't pass on it if you like good ol' rappin'.

I wanted this review to stand out amongst all of the other high reviews. I give this album a straight up STAR STAR STAR STAR STAR!!! This album is one of those rare gems we only stumble upon after listening to countless hours of nice but forgetable albums. The beats have a depth to them that shows the time and feeling put into them. The lyrics are inspired. I can feel the artisits speaking to me rather than speaking about themselves. Listen to Eighty-Two for an enticement.

Tracks are dope man! Love the lyrics and the beats. I'd love to see Statik work with some Bay cats.... preferably from San Francisco. San Quinn, Rappin-4-tay and some other cats would rip Statik's beats up with that Frisco feel. IMO Peace!
