Background/Description (courtesy of Wikipedia)

Deadly Verses is the 1995 album by Memphis gangsta rapper, Gangsta Pat. In this album, Pat's style has dramatically changed into a quick pace, hardcore flow (getting the impression for the new pace from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony & hardcore lyrics from Three 6 Mafia). But, like most of Pat's albums, he couldn't translate the support into national sales. Pat, would again, move on to another label after the release of his next album.

Hip-Hop Listening Club Album of the Week #244: French Montana - Mac & Cheese 4: The Appetizer

Posted: 29 Mar 2018 06:49 PM PDT

Welcome to HHH Listening Club!

Today we'll be listening to Mac & Cheese 4: The Appetizer by French Montana

Background

French Montana. Harry Fraud. Put these two together and you've got a very wavy combination. On Mac & Cheese 4: The Appetizer, French Montana and Harry Fraud take you on a half hour journey filled with classic French bars over very atmospheric, samples-filled-with-reverb beats.

French Montana is often criticized for not being able to make a great track without features, but to me this project proves otherwise. Counting 0 features (except for the Max B appearance on the first track), French holds his own very well. The bars might not be the most intricate or innovating, but French is not the guy to expect this from in the first place. Harry Fraud's production on this project is great (like always), with nice sample choices and not-too-complicated beats. A review describes how "his beats complement French's meandering vocal style, like a bed of drugs for an addict.".

On the first track we hear Max B speak from prison and hear French spit some bars over this sample. After that, track 2, Poison, features a beat that samples Lana Del Rey, which nicely sets the tone for the project. Track 3 is another wavy beat, but track 4 features a more 'classic' French Montana sound. Track 5 and 6 are a bit less memorable for me, but the project closes on a fantastic Playing In The Wind II, the 2nd edition of the 2009 classic song.

While it can be hard to find a coherent theme in French Montana projects, I feel like this project has a bit of a love-theme. There's quite some bars/hooks about girls, but because of combinations of lines like

Baby, forever be my lady

Twisted off the Yac and the purp, Montana been waitin'

If I ever came in your mouth without tellin' yah, my fault

it can be a little hard to find the real meaning of the songs sometimes.

All in all, I think this project is a great entry in French Montana's (and Harry Fraud's) discography. If you like the beats, you'll like the project, because the bars just flow along with the beats. If you don't like the beats then, well, youweird.
