classic

In

used to bump this on the bus on my lil pantech phone
tried to put people on AND THEY WOULDNT LISTEN
look at em now 🥺

His peak

This was my favorite out of the mixtapes when it dropped.

I find them increasingly harder to rank as time goes by. That along with the fact that I like each of them for different reasons at different times of the year has made this probably the best musical trilogy oat.

Man this tape is incredible

I think this was the first of the Trilogy I actively anticipated being that I got on around Thursday and listened to HOB for the first time after Thursday

From the bone chilling cover of Dirty Diana to my favorite song on the tape, The Fall, Echoes of Silence is forever a classic.

this and the next one

His best sequenced project ever

Every song flows perfectly from one to the other with no hiccups at all

XO/The Host into Initiation

And then Initiation into Same Old Song

Sheesh

CAUSE AIN'T NOBODY FEEL THE WAY THAT I FEEL WHEN I'M ALONE

Montreal is so f***ing crazy man all these years later only real music's gonna last

but baby i'm a pro at letting go, i love it when they come n go... legendary

When I was like 12 listening to the host and realised it’s using lyrics from initiation and then initiation starts blew my mind

wait i had to run Outside back as soon as those drums dropped WHY DON'T I LISTEN TO THE TAPES ANYMORE THIS S*** NEXT LEVEL

cause you been talkin bout it, i know you're talkin bout it...

Pain

I’ll always remember how long this f***ing download took to complete the night it dropped

S***ty Internet + s***ty website it was like 45 minutes

illangelo went absolutely f***ing dumb on XO

I remember in Big Quint’s reaction video, the first thing he complained about was the s***ty website

cause i gotta brand new cam, can we video feed, can we p-o-v?

FLAWLESS
