Aight, we got this supa-hot record dropped fresh today (6th Dec., 24) "Everybody Eats" straight from the OG Kool Keith hisself, an' Czarface, which is made up of that kid Inspectah Deck, 7L, n' Esoteric. I KNOW Deck gonna bring the fire, an' Kool Keith already gots a special place in my heart. Dr Octagonycologist n' Black Elivs, them's classics, b. Of course y'all know son gave us "Critical Beatdown", hardest album of 86. Son also gave us "Masters of Illusion" an' a helluva otha underground tapes I ain't gonna be listin' now. We gon' see how this goes tho', word is bond, I'm mad excited for this joint.
The Hunt for Czarface - This startin' out dope. We gots a reference to that Jeru the Damaja track, "D. Original". This a mad dope intro, this gettin' me hyped up y'all.
Rocket Science - This tight an' dope. Everybody's rhymin' is dope, they jus' flowin' so nice ova this. There's a ton of clever rhymes n' everythin' in here. The beat dope too, it got a whole buncha samples mixed in, but it ain't overwhelmin' like JPEGMafia's stuff, it JUS RIGHT. This a dope listen. "The only time you touch chrome is touching up your desktop toy for eBay". Hahaha, clever line y'all!

Here's Some Homicide - This beat's tight. The samplin's dope of course.
OH GOSH. First verse is one of them verse of the year y'all. There ain't a single wack bar in that first verse, it's DOPE. Aight, Kool Keith comin' on now...
Kool Keith killed it like HECK. This whole track smokin' so far. Ice-T comin' in now. His verse also mad dope, we got a buncha goofy lines, but they ain't wack, jus' mad outta pocket. Son jus' spittin' fire on this like he back in the 80's again. Dang this whole thing fire, I love how they extended out them samples so you can jus' chill an' appreciate all the lava you done jus' heard. DAMN.

People Want Sugar - This thing kinda seemin' like an interlude where 7L can show off all his DJ skills. It's mad dope, kinda got a creepy flava to it, an' that's probably what was intended. I vibes heavy wit' this.
Willrow Hood - Kool Keith rappin' now, he talkin' a lotta crazy stuff 'bout chicks n' skinny legs n' whatnot. Oooh, dope beat change there y'all. This kinda remindin' me of sumthin' he woulda kicked on Dr. Octagonycologist. Esoteric spittin' solid too, all these cats got rhymes for days, word. This the rap you oughta be listenin' too if you wanna know how to rap! Mad solid track.

Top Men of Rap - The verses are dope again n' I like how that sample in the hook jus' floatin' in all nice n' smooth y'all. Esoteric's verse all outta pocket but mad lyrical too, talkin' stuff 'bout how he a Jedi drunk in the temple. Crazy mess, b. This whole track "professional" like the sample at the end said.

Genuine Lifestyle - This got a smooth beat n' Keith n' Esoteric kickin' a lotta dope rhymes here. Keith's verse the best to me here, he jus' falls so nice into the backbeat like heck. It's hella smooth y'all. Esoteric gots the rhymes n' Keith's got the emotions an' the whole thing just goin' down like smooth hot chocolate or sumthin'. This whole thing dope.

Off the Bone - This got a great intro here. I'd love to know where 7L gets his samples from, cause son's mad dope wit' it. Kinda soundin' like Kraftwerks or sumthin'. It jus' anotha skit for 7L to be flexin' his DJin' skills on. I vibes wit' it, it's dope.
Space Cowboy - This one gotta be Keith's time to shine, he's into all this outer space sorta stuff. Esoteric starts off first tho'. He spittin' hard an' dope tho'. This a story 'boutta kid who encounters an alien sheriff an' wins a shootout wit' him. Keith rappin' now, an' it's dope. This whole thing jus' mad fun to listen to even if the concept's silly. I love this, word.

Aladdin's Castle ft. Mega Ran - This samplin' of organs or sumthin' on the beat dope, an' Keith's tearin' it up already. Esoteric jumpin' in an he jus' goin crazy like usual. It's like these kids won't know how to be wack if they tried. This whole tape soundin' mad fresh y'all. Mega Ran in here now rappin' pretty dope. He kinda soundin' like MC Eiht if Eiht was all 'bout lyrics an' crazy dope "ten dolla words". This whole thing mad dope. The news samples at the end are chef's kiss.

Giving Back to the Universe - I love the sample here. This the kinda samplin' I love doin' myself. Esoteric spittin' a lotta dope stuff here, he clearly tryna make this the best outro. He used anotha Jeru the Damaja reference wit' that "nitroglycerin" line. It still dope tho'. Keith comin' in now jus' killin' this. He flowin' so smooth over all this mess. Yo, this gotta be summa the dopest mess on the whole album, it jus' goin' down so smooth.
