One thing I've noticed about Billy is the way he uses cuss words. He really uses them proper, emphasizes emotion. It's raw man.

I feel like anyone who’s lived poor and miserable for an extended amount of time can probably really connect with Woods in general. He does touch on a lot of very black-specific problems, but all the shit about insurance and bills haunting you forever til you finally can’t do anything other than laugh to dull the pain of it all, that shit makes *_perfect_* sense to a white dude like me who grew up *right* next to Skid Row and almost wound up there himself. Almost 75% of the entire population of this damned country lives paycheck-to-paycheck, after all. I’ve been a fan for a while but I swear Billy just gets better and better with time, the man *_cannot_* make bad music.

“2nd place is steak knives” is a glengarry glen ross quote. 1st place is a cadillac el dorado, 3rd place is youre fired. “you dont wanna be in 4th place, man” (how did nobody have Red Dust as their favorite track??)

You guys should seriously consider reviewing the new Injury Reserve, if not, just give it a listen!

It took me a while to get into billy woods but some day you just wake up and can’t get enough of him

Im chilling like africans who never felt the whip was crazy

FINALLY BILLY WOODS. Edit: This is a great and thorough review. And for Feefo, it’s gonna take awhile to assimilate all the minute details from Billy Woods. And condolences to Feefo.

Yo Kenny Segal been working on Milo's albums for years! Dude is a legend!!!

this album was incredible from beginning to end. i've been a fan of Billy Woods since his Super Chron Flight Brothers days and everything he touches is gonna be cold. Kenny Segal brought the fire for this project. the replay value for this album is super duper high for me.

I hope abstract hip hop has another huge renaissance era, and gets a huge boost in popularity. Especially with the critical acclaim Slauson Malone has gotten.

the theme of the album is the past and not being able to hide from or escape from it. ppl from the past coming by to visit, going back to his childhood home, all of Red Dust, feefos point about the skit about bills still being there even if you dont forward your mail, and drug addicts returning to old habits. “dont tell me thats the past, i live in the past, it aint even that different”

Shout out to DEHH for reviewing Billy Woods!

Houthi was the track that got me on this album. I related to that track personally, with my uncle dying recently this album his hit home on another level. This album made me a fan, and thank you guys for the awesome review as usual.

#1 source for Hip Hop

Feefo should check out History will absolve me. More digestible for new Billy Woods' fans.

JUST SAY HE THE BEST LET'S NOT ARGUE

I swear Ken, that tablet do look like it gets bigger every other video. I'm ready for you to troll us and just come on set with 20"-32" plasma in your hand tryna pass it off as a tablet, lol.

houthi was my favorite track on this album. Beat was nice and Billy's cryptic lyrics were absolutely unique. Like Beezy said, no one raps like him.

"he just composes shit that you would otherwise not think about" that's poetry!! woods is a god poet. the line about the rain drop on the windshield and swervin and shit. god damn. also the Elucid interjection is one of my fave parts, a bit of sheen on the dark horse

and now terror management my god this dude can write

Album drop with a thud... awkward silence.... *like when the grenade a dud*

You guys have been doing so many awesome underground reviews! Thank you so much! Love this video and this album.

Feefo, I loved hearing your try and break this record down! You have so much insight and it goes to show how much you try and dive into these records. Love this Billy Woods project

360p gang, this album is amazing by the way, ready to hear your opinions on it

Finally that Billy Woods review🙏🏻

Thanks for reviewing this, he’s my favorite rapper. So incredibly underrated. The beat to crawl space is INSANE too. A collab with Kenny Segal is a dream come true

Kenny Segal made some amazing beats for Busdriver too.

It’s such a good album. Thanks for taking the time

This is such an awesome KZfaq channel! Keep up the good work guys!

Great review, thanks for putting me onto this DEHH

Great review as usual from these guys. So wish they would review the Mach Hommy DJ Muggs project, but there is just so much material and I get it.

Glad to see y’all finally give Billy Woods a review. Keep it going.

This album was really dope. Shout out to y'all for reviewing it. Hoping for a Beast Coast album review!

Watching this review was kinda wild for me. Like, I have no idea of what this album would sound like after watching you guys go at it for 20mins. But what's great is that you guys went deep into the lyrical themes and that is something that usually goes over my head. So this was really cool to hear. Like, the only line I can quote from this record is; "Motherfucker, you promised!" 😂And I agree with you guys about Woods' vocal delivery. It is kinda choppy and talky. It's also unique, I think, which is great. Hip Hop is not my thing, really. I'm more into the death metal side of things. However, this is not just one my favorite Hip Hop/Rap albums, it's one of my favorite albums in general. I first heard it last year, so I'm late to the game. It's a masterpiece. This thing starts off with an uncomfortable atmosphere and the way that the synths sound micro tonal or like some of the instrumentals are out of tune. That's really cool and creepy. Then the bass is a little fuzzy or low fidelity or a little distorted. And through out the record, there is this scratchy white noise, like it was recorded on some very old wax. I think that Segal has done a really good job at creating a vibe that feels like everything is just broken or about to fall apart. Then in Checkpoints, there is that crash cymbal that hits on the 1st and the 3rd beat in the first bar of the measure and this brings some crazy swing to that track. In fact, Segal throws in some mad syncopation throughout this record. The other thing to note about hiding places is that the album pacing is done really well. At the halfway point, we're met with Day in a Week in a Year, which has a very laid back, almost dream pop, vibe. I like this because it slows down and opens up the atmosphere and it feels like Woods invites us to get more intimate and emotional from this point on. A track I particular like around here is Crawlspace, which starts off old school then seamlessly transitions to a more D12/Dr Dre sound. The feature by Elucid also introduces a spice of variety in the vocal performance on the record. Later on, Speak Gently comes on and is like some Miles Davies acid jazz type shit. Also kinda feels like an interlude because after that, the album turns dark, violent, and heavy. At the end, the closing track feels like a last desperate cry out for help. A switch from the heavy anger of the previous two tracks. A perfect closer. The other thing is that the album cover perfectly captures what the record sounds like. A photo by Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre from a project called Ruins of Detroit. I'm not sure if Woods if from Detroit but if so, then it's that much cooler. The picture little uneasy all the way through and it feels like everything might just fall apart at any moment. Just like that house. And what you guys have said about the lyrical themes all makes sense now. Perfect packaging. I don't think that this is the sort of album that I would put on shuffle. And I think the tracks would sound a little wacky out of context, like, in a playlist or something. And I definitely wouldn't spin this at a party. But as a unit, Billy Woods and Kenny Segal have created something special here. Thanks for the review.

One of my favorites this year so far

Billy Woods reminds me a little bit of MF Doom, in the way he rhymes and stacks words together and flows

Definetly my favourite Release of 2019

I absolutely love this album

been my favourite mc since history will absolve me "the overlooked hotel is where i always been"

I don't know if it's life experience or just listening to his shit so many times over the years (probably both) but I really didn't have a problem understanding this album. I thought History Will Absolve Me was a lot harder to grasp.

Dang! This took long enough. Glad y'all got to it!

Wow never heard of these artist but if DEHH is giving the stamp of approval I gotta check it out!

one of my favorite albums this year someof the hardest bars ive heard in awhile

been waiting for this one

Everything billy woods touches is gold. Easily one of the best rappers working right now, alongside Aesop Rock and Quelle Chris.

This is my favorite billy woods project

This _____ album is fire 🔥🔥

one week hiding places is my favorite hip-hop project this year, the next its guns, the next its 2016-2018 farewell. and with all the new griselda shit and bandana, it's already been a fucking crazy year.

Y'all just put me up on game Thank you sirs

Why does he have air pods in when he’s in a conversation?

Everytime I listen to Billy woods I never connect him with other rappers. He has this hypnotic, oppressive way and the imagery is so wild. I can't shake associations with like Apocalypse now and taxi driver.

I thought Myke quoted a bar from Houthi, “Stood pooled in porchlight. Cut my shadow off with a dull knife...”Now I can’t find that part of the review

Who produced the beat playing during the Favorite Tracks section?! We need to link!

This album grew on me a lot

Y’all NEED to kno wtf he talm’bout!🔎🔥

I really thought you guys were going to just let this album pass you by, along with Quelle Chris' new album, and now you've covered them both.

It's non-linear he makes connections with that's that seem otherwise none related its very personal and layered and yeah a great voice he sounds like KRS and raps like Aesop

I can't wait too see who billy woods inspires

I love Billy and Nipsey

11:05 second prize is steak knives is a reference to “ Glen Gary Glen Ross” Alex Baldwin monologue. Woods injects insane amounts of literary and film references.

This lp is the best rap lp ive heard in a long damn time. Great fucking stuff

you guys should check out Tha God Fahim and Mach Hommy

Maybe Feefo should listen to “Dour Candy” first, it’s Woods most approachable album.

HEY Y'ALL THE STEAK KNIVES LINE IS FROM THE MOVIE "GLENGARY GLENROSS" WHERE STEAK KNIVES ARE A SARCASTIC PRIZE IN A COMPETITION AMONG DESPERATE SALESMEN.

Myke rockin' the jorts.

take a shot everytime Myke says "that's Billy Woods" 🤣🤣

that line with the chrysanthemums is touching man

finally, this album is great

Fantano said he thought Feefo would like Billy Woods back in a collab you guys did after History Will Absolve Me came out

Still patiently waiting for igor and injury reserve

I hope y'all reviewing IGOR 👀

new billy woods dropping tonight go support and yall need to make another review for the new one

Beast Coast review? It hits

sending love to u fefo.

CLASSIC ALBUM.

You guys need to review people under the stairs sincerely the P it's there last album it's a classic got to be one of the real hip hop album of 2019

Aoty for me bruh I cant believe they're reviewing this

I don't think I've ever agreed with Feefo on any artist/album.

Mike you should listen to the track nipsry hussle face the world from the Crenshaw tape. If you don’t like that track with the 9th wonder production there’s no hope lmao

Fort valley in the house

Tape ain't even out yet how the hell they got a copy?

BEAST COAST REVIEW PLEASE

This is rap AOTY so far. Just gets better every listen.

Incomplete title?

What up fellas

This album is fire

Y’all Gotta review his new project church.

billy woods is fuckin something else man.....when you get him

Please do a CLASSIC review of History Will Absolve Me. For me, that's still the #1 Billy Woods album. I'd probably go Paraffin #2 & Hiding Places #3.

"History Will Absolve Me", "Dour Candy", "Today, I Wrote Nothing", "Known Unknows", "Hiding Places" and now "Terror Management". His music isn't for everyone, but it can be a rewarding listen.

You know it’s going to be a hot take when feefo says “I wanna start this of by saying...”

Anyone know how Billy woods is? I couldn't find it on Google

👍👍👍

We used to call "Nigga sticks" Newports. Also, Super Chron Flight Bros first album is a great way to get what billy woods is doing. Even The Reavers album.
