On my first listen I was thinking it is impressive but maybe too much of the same, but now I love it - it is jampacked with bangers right up till the penultimate track. Fucking excellent!

Joe Bloggs is a masterpiece and the lyrics are hilarious:I stay away from knobsIf there's a known probabilityThen I'm gonna tell man, "Probs"

That track is basically a grimy cockney knees-up. Which is obviously a good thing

nobody?
on first listen Godfather II maybe not quite as immediately impressive but it's still v good. weirdly my favourite so far is the romance track "Certified"
"we both working every day around the clock / I hit the Spar, she go and get herself pampered"

i literally went TWO stops too far this morning listening to this album lol
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 27 April 2018 09:12 (six years ago) link
it's a v good album, no doubt
― niels, Friday, 27 April 2018 09:30 (six years ago) link
More uneven but has higher highs imo. 'Certified' and 'Remember Me' are my faves.

I haven't once wanted to go back to Godfather II, it feels like all the consistency and focus drained away and it was roughly on a par with the string of albums he released before that. Wiley's Flip The Table Freestyle is more exciting than anything on this year's album even if it does just amount to a massive tantrum.

i guess Sean Paul on the track helps w that! lol @ "izzit". Wiley coasting on this one obv

It's all kicking off on Twitter. Wiley's been beefing Stormzy, Dot Rotten, Jaykae and AJ Tracey. I blame Dot for sending for everyone last month and getting him all worked up.

Hoping Stormz actually replies
― paolo, Sunday, 5 January 2020 16:15 (four years ago) link
must suck for Wiley that the top search result for his name on Spotify is "Wiley Flow"
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 6 January 2020 17:48 (four years ago) link
He did reply!

A strong effort from Wiley but round one goes to Stormzy for me
― paolo, Monday, 6 January 2020 18:22 (four years ago) link
oooohhh shiiiiiiiit
I have no preference :-)
(See, if ILM's Dinosaur v Dinosaur Poll Bands would have a beef-off, THEN they'd be interesting)

jeez, wiley dropped his THIRD dis track today responding to Stormzys second one. dunno how much i like the individual tracks but it's kind of amazing that it's going on for weeks
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 15:51 (four years ago) link
just cuz Wiley's still dropping tracks, doesn't mean it's still actually on
(I haven't heard the last couple replies I just thought that would sound cool)
― lukas, Friday, 31 January 2020 17:19 (four years ago) link
The Godfather III is out today, and after one listen I'm going to say it's OK. It's a typical Wiley album in that there's a few decent tracks and quite a lot of filler.
He's also said in the Guardian that he's retiring (not bloody likely) and that he's cool with Stormzy now, which is nice to hear.
