Roc Marciano & Alchemist - The Elephant Man’s Bones 2022

This is very, very exciting.

So we're all just going to ignore the ice-t feature, huh?

They gonna put out a classic?

Or is this gonna be some lazy mid sht?

It’s crazy cuz nobody can tell wit these 2 lmao.

Album title is unbelievable.

Cover front and back looking ridiculous.

It’s almost impossible to sht the bed right?

Triple post. Ur gonna stroke out my man. I hope this is ridiculous as expected and doesn't fall flat. Lol that ice t feature seems insignificant honesty in comparison to alc and roc finally dropping something but that ice t joint might destroy the album or send it over the top and it be a 6 Mic album. Who knows.

I was drunk and high. Thanks for your concern g.

My guess is this won’t be an instant classic. You’re gonna have to sit for a minute and let it marinate.

It’s interesting to me. You think they know they can dictate what is and isn’t high brow street hip hop? I know Roc does. But how’s he gonna use ALC? He gonna get him smoked out and make weirdo beats? The albums been years in the making but did they slap sht together in 48 hours like some bullsht WSG album?

It shouldn’t be so hard. We just gotta know what the motive is.

I’m like “just listen to Rakim, Nas, Mobb Deep and Wu” and walk those footprints. Don’t stray from the path man. Experiment and do ya own sht but like stop trying to invent too much. It ain’t happening.

Yeah Roc birthed mad rappers. Griselda wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for him.

But like…he just kicked fly rhymes over dirty samples and reminded people. Infinite props for that.

Now drop the bomb.



It was a lotta drumless bs going around when Prodigy’s Albert Einstein came out. That had some of the best drum work I heard in YEARS. Go that route.

I’m drunk and high.

Just go to my 80’s thread and sniff ya head off.

I wonder at this point if roc himself can't give himself better beats than  someone outside now. This might be a flop.

No interest... 👎🏼

Yeah nothing special abouth that track...hope it's the worst one on album lol

I don't mind how that snippet sounds, but I'm hoping for Alchemist to flex with some drums on this bih..

U know this is gonna be weird as can be. Drums they say haha. Don't think that's happening.

I dunno. I doubt this has "hard" drums watsoever

I have zero problem with no drums though. Just sayin the way the careers have been going to see drums here is kinda crazy.

Boldys sh*t as well...
