   been out about 3 weeks.. my interpretation of the title 'stepfather' is like, PUTS aren't the original fathers/founders of hip hop but they are there trying to fill the place. maybe put the young punks in order a bit. plus get the wife
   
   but it's definitely a progression, I mean no rapping about record digging, or about being an emcee, or even any disses? A broader range of samples, maybe even the album is less hip hop, in that it's not a stereotypical drums and loops kinda format, it's just music, compositions.
   
   plus More Than You Know and Days Like This show a more thoughtful side, maybe only previously done in Give Love A Chance ?
   
   
   other things i'm feeling:
   
   - the way Flex Off changes up halfway through (and the kinda 80s vibe skit afterwards)
   - how jamboree pt 2 has that accurate party wind-down vibe complete with kk and thes drunk acting
   - Some of the echos/reverbs (not down with the techinical lingo) effects are fresh
   - the Brownout organ (?) and KK going "brrrrrrrrup!" and the outro
   - the whole of the last 6 tracks. just amazing
   - "I disagree homeboyboyboy"

   i love the outros/interludes of the songs:
   
   1. "i told you'd like it" "i don't like it...it's soft!"
   2. "motherfucker give me nightmares"
   3. "this margarita is good" *my favorite one*
   
   the ending to flex off is beautiful. love how the snare comes in. wish it played out longer

   the whole thing is crazy - just makes me feel good listening to it.
   
   - but also, anyone got a count on the amount of times the word PUMPIN is used throughout the album!? hahaha, best PUMPIN moment for me... when Dub K says on 'crown ones' - ''.....that jam was pumpin"
   
   and that little skit with the dad - "you got some def sh!t!....."

   I agree, when I heard that brownout outro - I was like what the f***? that loop was sick, then that rep with the organ underneath. Def highlight.
   Quano on the rhodes on 'on and on. Yeah tim that change in flex off is dope "this music is so grown man".
   The intro song gets me pumped.
   Days like this is a classic.
   Jamborees are gold.
