martinez Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Here are the lyrics, if you have any correction to add to them, let me know. The ISRC code of the "Genius Bar" track in the Radio-Edit edition is different, so I checked it, and it was also censored in that edition.

leftshoe18 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) I freaking love this. I so badly want a full hip-hop album from Mike again. Edited December 3, 2021 by leftshoe18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, personally, this format is perfect. I mean maybe a bit longer like 4 full tracks running for 3 minutes each, but a full album of, say, 12 tracks with a 30+ minutes length would probably be too much for this style. Anyway, love this project, some of the best bars by Mike in years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YRQRM0 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I had a lot of fun listening to the mixtape.

Somebodyangry Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I went through phases with this project: 1 oh again NFT shit; 2 oh it has rapping in it, I’ll check it out; 3 ok the preview sounds cool; 4 MIKE FUCKING SHINODA IS BACK. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Really nice to hear bars again from Mike. In retrospect, three Dropped Frames volumes was probably the right call, because I got tired of the endless beats a while ago, and I'm not going to say anything about Mike's NFT fixation this year. This was a nice change of pace from all of that, even as short as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you. I have the same opinion. Ziggurats sounds like a typical old school Mike rap demos which I really like. Maybe he uses older samples. In some part it sounds like drums were taken from "Slip" and some sounds reminds me "Step Up". I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPLStaff Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Working on Ziggurats on Linkinpedia. Has anyone gone through it to see what samples you can identify from other Mike songs? We don't really have much info on the tracks but it'd be nice to add some cool facts to the song pages. https://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=Genius_Bar Like, Ctrl C Ctrl V samples One Hundredth Stream. We were going to do info on Alternate Versions of them, some highlights of those, but there are just too many versions to do that so we'll probably remove that section lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
