The Dead Presidents cover was nice, the NY State Of Mind cover was alright.

Yeah, music is music. People always forget that numerous kind of instruments are used inorder to produce a Hip Hop record. And we shouldn't forget the samples...

Heartless by Kanye has been cover by tons of different artists. I'm a big fan of The Fray, so I'm kinda partial to their cover. :y:

Most of these are dope.

Was amazed by the track and how well it worked with the instruments. Then i heard the album version that isn't using the live instruments and tbh was disappointed.


That was one hell of a performance, damn.
