 Why did J diss CHINO XL though?
I
Can anyone provide any context?  

Chino rapped one line about them on a song called "Never"..

"Fuck the Insane Clown Posse, of rap they're making a mockery"

Check out the "Talib Kweli disses ICP" thread

I wonder what the AMB haters think about "Takin' It Away" haha, oh so now it's dope that ICP did it...

9+8  

I've always liked that track by AMB and it was cool to hear the original, to me it just shows how generous ICP can be to give other artists they sign beats that they already have and basically a song already written that they just need to write a verse for. To me it's just more proof of why AMB could be called ungrateful cunts if they have the nerve to diss ICP, which to my knowledge they haven't publicly, it's all just sneak diss speculation for what I've heard.

Didn't you attend the gathering this year?

Haha are you new here

Ok finally got a chance to listen, just a few quick reactions upon my first listen. I never listened to Jumpsteady's albums so I would never have known some of these beats ended up being used elsewhere, but there are some pretty nice beats on here. Clown Show being a standout for sure in that department, definitely my favorite track on this EP. 

I Can See It All was a little weird with how J's voice is pitched down for the entirety of his voices but still pretty cool. The down pitch thing is a very Young Wicked production thing to do, though it normally wasn't for full verses. 

I feel like Big Bad Wolf had a lot of potential but maybe didn't quite live up to it. It has the feel of trying to re-capture the vibe of the Wizard Of The Hood EP. Still not bad but definitely could have been epic. 

Overall, I  enjoy this EP and it's cool they put it out there. But, I also totally see why these songs were not included on Hell's Pit. He'lls Pit is very tight and on-point with the Hell imagery and none of these songs on Hell's Cellar feel like they'd really fit anywhere. 

ive seen chino live. wasnt impressed..

This album is fantastic! It exceeded my expectations. Big Bad Wolf may have been recorded for Wizard of the Hood or slightly after.

For anyone that bought a copy, what does the booklet look like? Are there liner notes or is it just a few pictures?

Makes me realize that there is likely more music in the vault that is worth hearing.

J said at the seminar that there's an additional 3 songs they found from these sessions but they're saving them to put out for the Hell's Pit 20th anniversary.
