[@mellomusicgroup]

Shout to Beezy & DEHH!

[@hancholo6634]

Mello Music Group I had one question. I'm going to his show at The Echo tomorrow. Is this album gonna be at the merchandise booth?

[@mellomusicgroup]

Should be available.

[@NCsPride704]

Ugly Heroes?

[@Zelinc]

It wasn't available yesterday in Phoenix :( I guess I have to jump online and order it

[@Zelinc]

Or maybe you just meant the CD should be available at the merch table lol

[@iSGxGlassCoe]

Shutouts to Open Mike for the amazing album first off. I thought this was one of DEHH's best reviews ever. Every member contributed something to the conversation (moreso than on some other reviews). Had the personal relations to the album, pointed out lyrics and really broke down the meaning and how it resonated. Everyone gave really detailed reasoning for how they feel about this album and the topics and style of it. I think great albums usually bring out a better review, but this one stuck out as one of the best reviews to date. Much love to DEHH and Open Mike

[@BrandonBowditch]

iGlasscoe It depends how you define “best”. I personally like their hostile reviews more, because it makes me laugh. But yeah. This review has to be one of their best, in terms of all of them understanding the meaning of the album & chiming in with their own unique opinions. It’s a contender with their To Pimp A Butterfly review.

[@iSGxGlassCoe]

BowditchXD right, I feel they all had interesting contributions to the discussion and they didn't overlap and repeat each other's points. Buuut the Lil B I'm Gay or Riff Raff reviews you could call their best too lol

[@BrandonBowditch]

iGlasscoe Yup. And the Yeezus & Goblin are contenders in that category. haha Especially Goblin. They ganged up on Feefo

[@BrandonBowditch]

iGlasscoe And yes. They all had unique viewpoints. It was cool, because I haven’t seen them breakdown an album like this in a minute. Again, since the To Pimp A Butterfly review.

[@iSGxGlassCoe]

TruMusic89 honestly I think he's one of those dudes that require multiple listens to start clicking, and more to fully appreciate everything. Usually I'll listen while pulling up the lyrics and reading along on Genius, cuz it's easy to miss some stuff. Then the next listens after that I usually tend to get a lot more out of an album, especially one like this.

[@AQGOAT24]

Interesting fact is that Open Mike Eagle went to Uni around the same time as Hannibal Burress. They know each other from way back then hosting open mic nights. They spoke about it on Hannibal's podcast.

[@jozh2507]

Feefo still not knowin what to expect

[@thereallegend4lyfe]

Sammus’s verse on Hymnal was amazing.

[@vincentlo7678]

The Real Legend And she talked about Fleet Foxes and the song is called Hymnal like White Winter Hymnal

[@nicolaslemieux1156]

When you see beezy passionate about an album like that, you know it's tight

[@ericdavis1758]

I had the chance to see Open Mike Eagle and Sammus while in Chicago like a month ago. Open Mike killed it and so did Sammus, but her set was the weirdest thing I've ever seen, it was the first time I ever witnessed a crowd of people just listen. It was silent the way it was in that Eminem BET Hip hop awards cypher. You could hear a pin drop. The only noise was the crowd applauding and then back to silence and listening. It was some Def Poetry shit.

[@STKisCOOLIO]

Eric Davis Sammus is intense live lol

[@0bd00]

caught them both in Austin last month and yeah, same shit. really appreciated that though as Sammus was definitely an experience. really dug her set.

[@dschlitz588]

Open Mike Eagle is always solid! Good review guys

[@SlipkPie]

He's always solid but this album is some next-level shit. Love it

[@felixmeinert5191]

Most thought-provoking and impactful hip hop album of the year

[@ryancalcaterra4946]

Sammus is a girl, and a dope rapper. She kind of splits the difference between nerdcore and Kanye West. I'd check out her Infusion EP or her record Pieces in Space if you're looking to get more into her. Open Mike Eagle usually features on at least one song with album with her. I believe she's also a former teacher.

[@Petepeatpeet]

Open Mike is one of the best and most under appreciated songwriters of this day

[@shellacSOUP58]

Best DEHH review in years, really great job all around. Everyone had a lot of great things to say.

[@andrewquinlan8685]

still waiting on that 808s classic review

[@adoniswells723]

Andrew Quinlan We need this

[@marcobazan4187]

For the culture

[@resurrectedplayer7746]

Andrew Quinlan Ken ain't having it lol

[@jeremydiesel7805]

Ken won't like it telling you off rip.

[@FIRSTCLASSGAMER]

Ken would run the fade with u bruh

[@seancavanagh2721]

Beezy's facial hair looks like he picked up some droppings from the barber's floor and glued it to his face

[@OurFoundingLiars]

Hellfyre is quite literal. Open mike eagle, Busdriver, Nocando and Milo are all occult necromancers using the devil’s magic to enhance their music. I also don’t know what I’m talking about. Keep asking questions

[@Passion1111]

😭😂😭😂

[@naoarranjeinenhumnomemelhor]

Damn, been waiting on this for almost 2 months, glad its finally out, I personally fucking loveeeeeeee this record!

[@mikkos9982]

Easily my favorite rap album in 2017 so far.

[@CHUMBY256]

Doesn't matter how long it takes just so long as it's done. Album was great. Keep up the reviews.

[@supertboi123]

hymnal and how could anybody feel at home were the songs that caught my ear on first listen, and let me know that this was gonna be some fuckin heat. open mike just crafts songs and verses like individual products within the album. they’re written with love, attention to detail, and so much damn energy. he really put his life into his pen for this one.

[@flederboy]

Thank you so much for reviewing this, I've wanted an Open Mike Eagle review from the DEHH crew since Dark Comedy and this is everything I could have wished for. AOTY material for real!

[@davidrowe762]

OME's best album yet and one of the best albums of this year, any genre. I'm still playing the shit out of this thing!

[@usernameof5]

Ken and Beezy are both bald, which means that they are melons. Fantano has some competition!

[@randyvargas8389]

nPlatin wow you’re a comedic genius

[@ezequielrenovato6608]

Milk duds bruh

[@TheSethcast]

There's a video of all three rubbing them against each other. It's super weird.

[@unimpressedalchemist]

Nah, they coconuts

[@faybiel2981]

Hmm, I dunno about this one. I mean it could work...

[@jasonispunk]

This Is why I subscribed to this channel I love Open Mike have all his albums/E.P.'s and been busy with other types of music I had no idea this album even came out getting it right now !

[@civil15]

ja50n yo, can you send me some of his EPs? I'm missing some of the older ones.

[@nikolai24r]

Lute - Westside 1996 pt. 2 Injury Reserve - Drive it like it’s stolen IDK - IWASVERYAD Earthgang - Robots Snoh Aalegra - FEELS Shit even Super Slimey by Future and Thug would be funny to see Love the show

[@twite5462]

idk especially

[@bipinsamsohang]

FEELS is a hardass joint lol

[@Zelinc]

It was literally a concept ep. You can't even judge them on it if you tried. Take it for what it is and move on. They won't be discouraged so don't worry about that

[@bipinsamsohang]

Zelinc hold on! what version did u get? mine is an album.

[@Zelinc]

bipin samsohang Really? It's a 7 song concept ep. I'm pretty sure we are talking about the same thing, but consider it different

[@spencerjames3551]

Glad you guys decided to do a full review with everyone. This album grew on me so much and OME deserves the recognition.

[@vladimirklizschko9337]

Sounds really interresting..going to listen to it

[@WadeArchives]

Vladimir Klizschko It's amazing man, truly. Enjoy.

[@visas_marr]

One of your best reviews in a minute!!! Love this project! I hit me knee on the bed corner and run a sprint!

[@NCsPride704]

I'm definitely going to check this album. If he's in the same class as Ka, he gotta be dope.

[@t-bird9369]

*Please review CunninLynguists' new album!* I know Yela and Krit are coming up, but been a minute since CunninLynguists released anything so hopefully you'll have time to do it. Btw, great review, thanks for putting me on to Open Mike Eagle, great project!

[@nosreffejforgot29]

Review Sammus! Pieces in Space from Oct 2016. It's so good!

[@Carl-er4ut]

surprised you guys didn't show that much love/talk much about Daydreaming in the Projects. Some of the best production I've heard this year (and obviously Mike hits hard) anyway, dope review. This shit's AOTY

[@colfortynine]

There were a couple interviews that touched on his Chicago roots, you can kinda pick it up through the punchline type couplets he throws around, but it’s not brought up explicitly most times. dope project, cool to see you touch on it

[@StupidIsAsStupidDoe2]

I only want you guys to review albums you enjoy from now on. This was great. I've heard you guys mention Open Mike Eagle before but now I'm very interested in checking out all his projects.

[@Rreinholdt]

This made me happy, thank you for making this.

[@cyoung7127]

Excellent point about Ka, Aesop, and Busdriver! That's why I love them so much, it's so clear how much they are in love with words

[@PopeCharlesIV]

I never noticed the Behemoth patch on Myke's sweater. I just saw them a couple months ago, and they killed it. Instantly became a fan. Good shit, man.

[@LouieV6]

So glad y’all reviewed this album. This is definitely his best work to date!

[@blublaw]

Amazing album and review! Thanks guys, I agree this is one of the best reviews and everyone seemed jazzed about it too.

[@AnimeXP]

Thank you for reviewing this! loved this album so much

[@kjk607]

Took me a long ass minute before I got into this project. listened to it 3 different times.

[@ifgodwasapig]

Suit Up Yeah man I feel you, only got round to listening to it recently cause I was busy and wanted to sit down and properly enjoy it but the first listen flew right over me until I started humming some of the tunes later. Pretty sure I've listened to this album about 10 times in under in 2 days now

[@NickScott86]

I've been waiting for this one! This album is incredible. Thanks DEHH for shining a light on this project. Check it out if you haven't!

[@RAT_WZRD]

I love that mayo vs. mustered line.

[@GrinchyGreen334]

Could u guys do a discussion on hick hop?? I would really love to hear you're opinions on it

[@davidruhl9217]

PLEASE review Infusion by Sammus. Ive been hoping for a while to have her name come up on this show

[@nonchalantone]

David Ruhl Pieces in Space is super dope too.

[@HibachiJ]

didn't think this would be reviewed. i'm hype

[@Zelinc]

Just saw him and billy woods in Phoenix last night. Such an amazing show! Get on it if they come to your city

[@cassiusfade9226]

i felt like happy wasteland was “it was a good day” if that one good day never happened. the frustration and asking “Can we get at least one day without violence?!”

[@Sedrick]

Haha what type of excuse is that at the end when it is so easy to find out when a show is.. Anyways.. Fantastic review guys, glad that you all did this together because this album definitely deserves it. Open Mike Eagle is absolutely one of the best rappers out right now, I'm in full agreeance. The whole album rocks but my favorite song is "Happy Wasteland Day" I just can't get over how perfect that song is, but the whole thing is incredible. I've had the pleasure of seeing Open Mike Eagle twice this year, one back in summer when he opened for Aesop Rock and one just last Saturday when he did his own show at a dope bar/concert place. He is an incredible guy, and he fucking KILLS live performances. I cannot believe how fucking awesome he is live, the REST OF THE DEHH CREW MISSED OUT! DON'T TRY TO BLAME MYKE, YOU ALL SHOULD'VE SEEN OPEN MIKE WITH MYKE! MAN YOU MISSED OUT!!!! Open Mike Eagle rocks!

[@TalkingBurit0]

Yesss waiting for this I've been bumping this for a while

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

So this is the best album of the year second Lil Pump third 4:44 fourth Damn fifth all eyez on me

[@sukka4pain]

HAHAHAHA.

[@nickygogol6011]

@ Mike Possibly Milo is up there with them as great wordsmiths...beautiful album, great review fellas.

[@TonytheSwordsman]

Happy you did this project!!

[@dontknow562]

Open Mike Eagle is really chill, saw him at Low End Theory Festival 2016

[@mariohiph]

Shout out to the album artwork. Best I've seen in a while.

[@DrealynWilliams]

I ain't gon' lie, I've never heard of this man, but y'all damn sure made me interested in checking out his music now.

[@hollywoodraptor0016]

This is my favourite hip hop album of the year next to Tyler's Flowerboy. Open Mike Eagle dragged me into his world with the first beat of Dark Comedy Hour. He became one of my favourite rappers since then. I think the "he is so calm that when he gets even a little fired up it hits you" is on point. Busdriver and Aesop have that same thing about them. When Busdriver calls your manager a "bitch nigga" (I forgot which track he did that on) you'll be like "Damn, I think my manager is a bitch nigga!" It just hits harder. Same with Mike Eagle. It's one of my favourite qualities about him.

[@thereallegend4lyfe]

Thanks for the dope review DEHH!

[@Rennar3210]

Who is Myke talking about when he says Kah(?) because I love Aes, Busdriver, and OME and I'd like to check someone out if they're being compared to them.

[@licoricelaces4205]

Did you ever figure it out? Lmao

[@Rohan-yn2ts]

BTW @beezy Kenny Segal made that No Selling beat. Illingsworth did the TLDR and Daydreaming beats

[@randyvargas8389]

Great vid guys

[@Rahnotrob]

Seriously though, this album is fire! Open Mike Eagle puts on a solid live performance too. He's doing something different and he's going against the grain. It's a breath of fresh air.

[@funkateeer9]

Thanks for this!

[@healingchurchpotluck5352]

Lol, that samus bit made me chuckle. For obvious reasons

[@NotRealMusicRyan]

This review was brilliant, good work

[@rhyspowell1564]

How do they not have one million subscribers yet smh

[@EpicShadow26]

I'm surprised you all didn't know about Sammus. She's super dope with some great mixtapes and I'm glad Open Mike put her on.

[@u7angbe]

Feefo reviews remind me of Spotify hiphop mixes of each year

[@SilentYosef]

Saw his show in Cincinnati - super chill guy with great music . S/o to open mike

[@simbaryan4144]

@Dehh she performed in Atlanta at 629 she dope

[@jeremyvassallo3914]

Sammus is a woman

[@STKisCOOLIO]

Too much of life is moooooood

[@nostalgia_junkie]

a rad bad woman at that

[@nostalgia_junkie]

were talking about samus aran right

[@ravanaRTT]

My favourite DEHH review ❤️

[@dustymuhfuka6942]

Big K.R.I.T.: 4eva is a Mighty Long Time 🔥 Album of the year. Easy.

[@GaryClutchClark]

He would be an awesome guest on your show.

[@Aye.Robito]

Still waiting on that Cool Kids album review. But besides that this review was very necessary. This is a VERY good album.

[@timbosqueeze8174]

I was waiting to hear Ken's opinion on this

[@Turtl289]

Few years late, but i finally just ordered this lol.

[@jonsense4937]

wow nobody said daydreaming in the projects as their favorite song? that chorus is catchy as f***!!!!!

[@johanwilliam-olsson2538]

Great choice

[@FCKDarrylNShit]

Lil b’s - I am the hood is this album

[@dynamicjaethought7788]

Slug from Atmosphere should be in that list too.

[@RazielRodriguezz]

This album soothes me

[@200.50kr]

How can I get the shirt feefo and beezy is wearing? It's dope, can't find it in the merch shop tho.

[@yahsun4699]

[@george2468]

YO YOU GUYS NEED TO REVIEW MUMBLE RAP BY BELLY

[@Ghuttora7]

I Love This Album

[@0rcface]

It took me a few listens to really get into this album, but I love it. I would add billy woods to Myke's list, in my opinion.

[@alejandroramirez4470]

Myke used to read comics? Cool to know but there are still great stories coming out in comics. I know this is not what the video is about but I love both music and comics.

[@madvillain20091]

this album was a fantastic masterpiece from top to bottom.

[@nayfin308]

Honestly. My rap album of the year

[@zM4T4ASsAsS1Nz]

Where Mykes eyebrows at?

[@Ayplus]

I gotta check this out now. . .

[@nikk796]

[@LouieV6]

Dark Comedy and you should also check out Hella Personal Film Festival

[@dynamicjaethought7788]

[@munozjonathan86]

Jay IDK - iwasverybad

[@MusicLover-ko1mq]

Amazing album one of my favorites
