Gas Mask Explicit Lyrics

As a NY cat, never thought I would be saying this but Detroit is killing it right now and Gas Mask by The Left is the latest example. Love The Left and loved the album start to finish. Don't know much about these guys other than this album, so apologies for any inaccuracies, but I understand Apollo Brown did the production on this and he absolutely killed it. Love his samples of soul tracks that had a distinctly motown feel to it, but with a real hip hop makeover. Reminds me a lot of Bronze Nazareth - by far and away my favorite of the Wu affiliates. The beats and flow of the songs are on point with Bronze's The Great Migration and the album might be even more consistent than that classic b/c it has less features so better end to end flow. I was looking for a new album to cop so I wouldn't kill Kno's Death is Silent and was worried that anything would be a disappointment after that gem, but this album more than held its own with what I had thought was the runaway Album of the Year. If you are a fan of great production, album flow, and tight introspective lyrics Stop Sleepin and get this now...

This album flew under the radar for me but I am glad that I finally came across it. The Left is a 3-piece hip-hop group consisted of Journalist 103 (rapper), Apollo Brown (producer) and DJ Soko (Turntablist). They all work & compliment each other very well. It has that undergound Detroit sound & for 19 tracks it's an easy listen (it seems like its over before I know it) which is rare. Don't sleep on this album like I did & cop it! For real hip-hop heads only.

Gas Mask is by far the best album I've hear this year. Apollo Brown is quickly becoming my favorite producer in the game and has certainly filled a big chunk of that hole that J-Dilla left us with. This is what hip-hop music should be. The whole album is cohesive, the lyrics solid, and the production is flawless. Has that rustic jazz feel to it that we've come to expect from Apollo Brown. If you're a hip-hop head, this is a must have!

This is a Classic 90's, NY style album right here! Apollo Brown has been a consistent producer, since day 1! He reminds me on how Marley Marl, Pete Rock & DJ Premier were, back in the day, when the demand for their sampled masterpieces were high!

this is a must have in your hip-hop folder,.. i love the old sounds and the lyrics with a true life topics , not how much money ,cars and bitches you have ,,if you dont like "the Left" then you dont like hip-hop. you must like radio crap rap with dumb-ass hooks and simple beats

Been awhile since I've had a NEW hip hop album on repeat for days. Music like this makes me sad about the direction mainstream hip hop has taken. Seriously, this album is what hip hop should be. Top to bottom it's a work of art, easily the best album I've heard in YEARS.

love this album could never find the album

gas mask..has to be one of the best cd's ive bought in the last two years!!!! beats are dope rhyming is on point

I downloaded this 4 years ago when it came out and finally got round to buying it. Apollo brown is one of the best producers around. You need this album if you like raw and real hip hop at its best. I heard this album just as I was getting a bit bored with hip hop and it was a saviour.

ich finde das Album ist tief und weitsichtig. schön, dass es Künstler gibt, denen das Werk wichtiger ist, als kommerzieller Erfolg. Das zeichnet "real hiphop" aus.Beats sind tief, teilweise sehr tief und nicht unbedingt mainstream. lyrics sind sehr persönlich und eben nicht crowdpleasing. ich mag das sehr gerne, wenn sich Rapper als Chronisten verstehen und nicht als Angeber, denen es nur um den persönlichen Glanz geht.Die Platte reiht sich ein mit Neuveröffentlichungen der alten Schule, wie z.B. M.E.D.'s neuestes Werk "Classic". Man könnte meinen "die gute alte Zeit erfährt eine Renaissance"habe die Platte etwas spät entdeckt und freu mich um so mehr. die Scheibe hat etwas sehr persönliches, fast schon bescheidenes, das macht dieses Album sehr liebenswert.Man hört, wie wichtig es den Künstlern ist, sich mitzuteilen, in Wort wie in Musik.echter Hip Hop wird nie sterben so lange es so talentierte Leute gibt wie diese beiden hier.Danke Danke DankeR.I.P.

Article reçu rapidement, très bien emballé de la part du vendeur !Ensuite... et ben c'est une perle du hip hop us que je connaissais déjà mais que je cherchais en vinyl et j'ai été plus que gâter en voyant cet exemplaire !Je recommande à tous les fans de véritable hip hop ;)

Magnifique album rap ,on comprend vite que le sampling est à une place importante dans les créations d'Apollow Brown,tant mieux car de plus en plus de beatmaker ne le font plus .
