I consider this album a classic throwback hip-hop album...a must have for any former backpacker such as myself. I cannot say enough about it...turn off the radio and don't be fooled by the television which tries to make us believe that Drake and Lil Wayne are the end all to be all in Hip Hop right now. This album takes u on a muscial journey that not many albums are doing right now. I know u don't like Dilated Peoples, I know this but their front man Rakaa's first solo joint dropped yesterday...Bruh I rarely say this but its a must have album. The production is superb and his flow is on point makes Drake sound like Elmer Fudd...and the transitions of the album are right on time keeping with that unique West Coast apppeal...4.5 outta five mics easily...I got it off Amazon.com for 7.99, I ain't messing with Itunes no more...take advantage man, take advantage...My favorite joints...
