Colton Grundy was his best album, in my opinion. Good production with technical beats. He sounded like he wanted to record that album. Everything hes done recently feels like hes phoning it in a bit. Maybe Madrox stopped writing his verses for him…

I think a Young Wicked produced Blaze album would be the best option for him at the moment. I used to think YW was trash but since he joined MNE, I honestly think hes one of the most talented artists on the label.

The Colton Grundy album is ok in my opinion. I consider it and clockwork gray his weakest releases. Colton Grundy was supposed to be a whole different persona than blaze and it ended up being just a blaze album and the gimmick was poorly executed.

as far as cold187um goes, that is just an example of violent j’s Stupid ideas failing. How are you going to sign a legendary westcoast rapper/producer and then make him do a mixtape over psychopathic artists beats??? How did he think that was a good idea? Anyway losing hutch was just dumb. The guy could’ve added a lot to the label.

I guess there’s no denying that it was a really bad move just by judging from the outcome and the backlash. But for the life of me I can’t understand why the reception was so negative. I loved that album. Before he dropped the album I wasn’t that familiar with Hutch. I knew of Above The Law but only really knew Murder Rap. I remember not really feeling him either before he dropped The Only Solution. Wasn’t a fan of The Psychopathic Assassin and Where Do We Go From Here, so I didn’t have high expectations for the album at all. Then i remember reading the tracklist and which beats he took and I wasn’t feeling that either – some songs that I hated (like Damn Bitch) and some that were just too iconic to turn into something different (like Chicken Huntin). But then the album dropped and holy shit, imo he fucking schooled it. When I listen to that album I don’t even think about the originals. And that’s pretty fucking impressive.
Actually, today I listened to Suicide Hotline, which has always been one of my favorite ICP songs, and yet I had Cold 187um’s L.A. stuck in my head.

I think The Only Solution has to be the most underrated album ever dropped on Psychopathic.

Sorry to derail the thread. Really hoping a Zodiac Mprint album will be released soon-ish, but not holding my breath. And I want ROC to be the sole producer of it. Seven can do some dope shit, but Zodiac belongs to ROC and Ride The Stars proved that.

I’ve been liking some of his one off shit recently like Aye-ya off of Songs to Smoke to and The Trunk for YOTS bonus disk, I want to say Fritz produced them? But either way I wouldn’t mind seeing a full album in the funky style. But Grundy and 1 Less G are my favorite release from him, overall best production and lyrics imo
