the eminence of two greats in the 90s

more like *from the '90s?

the man still exists, oh, and that ELE 2 is on its way

nothing really wrong here, but readers lacking a context will find themselves wondering what ELE 2 is.

gliding over A Tribe Called Quest-esque beats

probably a better way to word this.

he Abstract and the Dragon muscles its way in blatantly as a tape by Busta Rhymes for Busta Rhymes fans

hm, do you need to say 'muscles its way in'? I think the sentence could work better as just saying "The Abstract... is a tape by Busta Rhymes for Busta Rhymes fans"-- more concise, all that.

very good ending too.

these are all nitpicks, but hopefully they give you some ideas for the future. i love seeing you write more, keep it up man.

Thanks for reading over this Jacob, glad to see there weren't any major concerns. W/ regards to the ELE 2 comment, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spell it out since it's kind of a long title, and then I'd have to write out what exactly it is. I kind of just wanted it to be there as an afterthought and if you know what it is then great, but not knowing what ele 2 is doesn't really take away from the message of the review. I just didn't want to clutter it with additional shit that maybe wasn't necessary.



in the 90s/from the 90s: the intention here was to say that they were great in the 90s and after that have been underwhelming, whereas i feel like saying two greats from the 90s perhaps implies that they have always been great and they just got their start in the 90s, but after typing this sentence out i'm not so sure if i still agree with that... hehe

How much of this is new material? I heard this is almost all remixes and like 10 min of new material, if that's true that sucks I hate remixes

No remixes, 10 minutes of new material is correct tho

Thanks man! Yeah I was really hyped for this but it was just a huge letdown. Truly a waste of incredible cover art.
