38 Spesh — Time Served [mixtape]


This 38 Spesh tape holds up decently for twenty minutes, even after the arrival of Chinx and French Montana, then it collapses to coincide with the arrival of another of its mainstream guests, Gucci Mane. The next ten tracks are bad due to commercial, cheap and shoddy production, and all point to the club. In the final minutes, the tape raises its head with a couple of good tracks and the Styles P guest spot, looking at the credits the rhythms are made by DJ Premier and Pete Rock respectively: after over an hour of questionable material, you may not even notice the goodness of these two final rhythms, since the two producers don't exactly offer something memorable, in particular the beat of Pete Rock is far from his maximum potential. It comes out as one of 38 Spesh's worst tapes, not essential in his extensive discography.
