J-Love and Meyhem Lauren’s album ‘Acknowledge Greatness’ is like the prequel to the ‘Lo-End Theory. There are features from Timeless Truth, Roc Marciano and Thirstin’ Howl the 3rd. J-Love maestros classic rap beats while Meyhem rips the microphone like a young beast.
‘Acknowledge Greatness’ is a double album of classic material. This album is tragically slept on. Here’s a few tracks that go harder than leather in any kind of weather. The ‘Lo-End Theory is still bubblin’ underground. We gonna get it together before its all said and done.
In the meantime and in between time fux with this real rap shit…
‘Stay Sharp’ featuring Thirstin’ Howl the 3rd
‘Change’ featuring Roc Marciano
‘Rare Species On Earth’
‘If You Talked About Me’ featuring Cappadonna
Where can I buy that J Love & Mayhem album? You know if its on itunes?
My badd for not placing the Amazon link on this drop. Acknowledge Greatness is a double album with 40 tracks on it. Shit is bananas.
Yo this shit is crack. I lose for sleepin on this.

This was a dope album. I really like the Subway Series track. Production is great and the features are like everybody any homegrown NYC rapper would wanna work with. My only gripe with the album is that I’m not a fan of J-Love on the mic. I think he’s a great DJ and an even better producer but I would have preferred to have Mey rocking a lot of these joints solo. It’s not so much J’s wordplay, but moreso his delivery that doesn’t reach up to his counterpart’s level. Dope album regardless tho. Definitely worth supporting.
Lex,
I feel you somewhat [ll] that J-Love is a bit staccato as an emcee on this tape but its also worth noting that this album is three yrs old. In that amount of time J-Love has worked on his style and definitely improved.
I was listening to some recent tracks of his while riding around Brooklyn in his whip and what I heard was a collection of bangers. I asked him to give me that tape so I could post those songs, but he is still fuxing with those tracks so maybe you’ll hear them during the summer.
I also agree with you that the features on the album were incredible. This album is a must copp for NYC rap fans. It represents the sound of the city well.
