I could go on for days talking about the work put into this album. Five months of work. A stolen laptop, with at least 100 unfinished/unreleased tracks. Over 300 beats. All of my work from the beginning. Restarting an album that was nearly done. Been sick alot during the recording of this too. In the hospital, bed ridden crazy shit lol. This album symbolizes a very significant period of my life. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it. Shout to Mykill, Cli, Purpen, Deezy, Noble, Artille, J$, and Rembrandt. Wouldn't have been able to do it without you. So much more work coming. More links coming. LMIxMMG

It's cool to actually see what you look like. No frank though. .
Most people around here you only hear their music,
and dont really have a picture of what they look like, and cant put a face to their music.
The wireless connection that im stealing right now at this apartment is slow as fuck,
so i'll peep this tomorrow when i stop by mcdonalds or somewhere with faster innernets.

1 In Your Honor - Flow was great on this. It sounded like at times you were kinda bored with the energy tho, maybe you were sick when you recorded this idk. The background adlibs in the chorus took away from the chorus definitely. I couldn't focus on the chorus because there was too much going on with how loud the background vocals were. The lyrics were pretty nice. "To maybe you I maybe be speakin' spanglish" damn. 3.5/5
2 Give Em Hell, Mac - I really like the beat on here. I was feeling the track at first then it kinda just got boring to me. The verses kinda got worse to me as the song went on. Idk. I caught some dope lyrics throughout the whole track tho. Sometimes you say the simplest things, but those lines hit the hardest sometimes. "Call a nigga for the job, get a done, just a god" 3/5
3 America's Nightmare - N/A still fux with this track heavily. 4/5
4 Higher Learning ft Mykill and Deezy Mac - Mykill had an awkward flow at times. Like it was just slightly off a points, or he was trying to fit too many words in the line but keep the same flow or something idk. Myk's lyrics were kinda just corny for the topic compared to the other verses, he was too vague or something. You came in dope as fuck Crary (Almost said Mac but Deezy goes by that now lol) and kept it that way, kept it too g my brotha. But damn Deezy..... this beat was perfect for him. He kinda reminds me of Hopsin with the flow and mic presence lol. 4/5
5 Victim of Politics ft Cli-City - Track was pretty cool, didn't find any flaws in this. But this wasn't my type of song at all. Plus I can't really relate with songs like this. 3.5/5
6 Lay You Down ft Mykill - Hook sounds really good, except the down/around/end parts lol. Nothing really wrong with this song either, just wasn't feeling it lol. Some clever lines throughout tho. "Ectasy, no need for x with me" 3.5/5
7 Don't Tell Em - Ehh... cool concept just not feeling it... 2.5/5
8 Insomnia - Epic beat by CnC... Song/beat is really low quality though. But besides that, this is tooooo fire. I would bump this in the whip if it wasn't for the quality. This is was on your best hooks in my opinion. This record is too real. Its my favorite so far even with the low quality.... would be a 5/5 Crary song for me if it wasn't for the quality... 4.5/5.
9 Smoking Session ft Artille - Chuck always come through on the production. I kinda always thought you'd be dope on his beats, like the ones he does for Chip. Artille was spitting that truth at the start of his verse! DAMN! You really gotta calm down with the adlibs Crary. At times I couldn't focus on Artille's verse because of your adlibs. Artille stole the show on this track. Good interlude 4/5
10 Paid My Dues - Boring track imo. 3/5
11 Speak to Me - This track is low quality too, I'm guessing its the CnC beats... You should've left em off honestly. Takes away from the tracks. Because this here, is another dope ass track. Just gets ruined by the quality. Dope concept on this, you executed it very well also. "She be like speak to me, I be like nah bitch" 4/5
12 Money ft Noble and J$ - You know you're the only person to ever get THP together as a feature on a track? I think this is the first time lol. Still like this track a lot. Me and J$ were bumping it a couple times back in July when he vacationed back home...
13 Whenever ft Rembrandt - This beat and sample.... wow. Your adlibs were a lil off Mac. This is a nice verse lyrics wise, like the lil story you kinda told in it. Rembrandt started off well, but then it seemed a lil off in the middle then came back. Like his lyrics on this too. "Pardon me, I'm faded.." Dope track, much different style then the other tracks. 4/5
14 Hold On Mac - "Call me an addict, my high is endless" Very good lyric. This is dope track, I'm really feeling it. 4/5
15 Assassinate Me ft Mykill - N/A
16 Bury Me in Red - This is a good outro bro. Epic beat. 4/5




Overall: This project is good. A lot of tracks we're very similar though, which is one of the main flaws imo. You should mixed in some hype tracks man. You were killing those type of tracks during #ThaFlood and they showed a different style of rapping for you that was refreshing, and very dope. Without the unnecessary/loud adlibs, and few low quality beats; the quality and mastering was this was dope. An improvement from your last project definitely, but still room for improvement for sure. I think if you had mixed it up with the style and vibes of tracks, it'd be more appealing to the ear. Kinda how I felt on the LMI tape is how I felt on here about half way through on this project. It just all kinda felt like one big song with different beats you know? I wasn't really finding too many different flows used, and a lot of similar lyrics and wordplay. But don't take the negatives and think they overpower the positives. You are dope my brotha. Keep it up man. 3.5/5.

First mixtape/cd I'm downloading after AT&T hooks a nigga's internet up.

Can someone sticky this? I thought full projects were all stickied? I can't download atm

"Insomnia" - Great concept. You executed it pretty damn well.
"Smoking Session" - Lol you two have some great teamwork on this track. Really captures the concept 100% and Artille delivered a great feature.
"Paid My Dues" - Reminds me of how much your sound resembles that of an ol' school cat.
"Whenever" - As soon as the sample/hook hit I knew this would be a good concept. Remy does his thing well, but I think the song is lacking something. Maybe an additional chorus line here and there, who knows. Def some talk or something is needed at the end. Good track regardless.
"Bury Me in Red" - Good cadence in the multis. Great beat choice to end the tape. Great way to end the tape too. Good delivery and feeling in the hook/bridge. Beep at the end is too loud lol

Listening to this now, I dont think LIVE! compares to Mac Moretti lol. Your mixing skills have improved a lot. Keep tweaking. Remember: it aint right until it sounds RIGHT. Don't settle for almost. I'll post the rest as I listen to em.

I dont like how "Higher Learning" and "Victim to Politics", "Lay You Down", and "Don't Tell Em" go in that order. You shoulda shuffled em around on the album tracklist more. It's like two sets of two tracks that are similar, and are back to back (HL/Victims and LYD/Don't Tell).

Now that I've listened to the whole thing, you definitely out did your previous work. It plays pretty smoothly. With some track list adjusting, technical tweaks, and maybe me learning how to sing properly ("Lay You Down", etc) - this could be a 5/5.

"Paid my Dues" needs some intro talking or a sound bite or something to carry the song into your verse...
And despite what @Artille says on "Smoking Session", I'm still gonna rap about my swagger and how I gots it lol.

Overall:

[TupacShaquer]

at school right now and i wont be home for another couple of days but that tracklist looks mad tempting . cant wait to listen

[Artille]

Downloaded the tape, will give it a listen in a bit.

[MENTION=7009]Cli-City[/MENTION] Yeah that shit's like the "Young Black and Educated Suite" lol. I tried to order tracks like that together because I felt like they flowed into each other. Different sides of the same situations, such as with those tracks. And with Lay You Down into Don't Tell. The situations flowed into the next situation in my opinion. Mac Moretti is a movie. Or a season of a television show. Though this album a truthful depiction of my life now and growing up, it was strongly inspired by one of my favorite television show, The Sopranos. You're comment and Myk's were answered in that lol.

I appreciate the full reviews from [MENTION=20888]mykill[/MENTION] and [MENTION=42670]PrettyFlacko.[/MENTION] I'm surprise you were able to sit through this whole album Noble lol. Not your style of music at all. That's what makes your review even more special to me lol. Sucks those CNC beats sound low quality. Those are two of my favorite tracks. Glad y'all liked Insomnia. Didn't expect people to dig that one. By the way that line in Give Em Hell Mac is Call a nigga for the job/ get it done trust in God/ that relinquishing my spot won't cross my mind/I've dreamed of being a boss for some time/ quittin would be smart, you will never stop my grind
