  1. Arguably some of the worse off beat lyrical flows since Silkk the Shocker…and his attempt of trying masked his weird jazzy infused modern day Parliament Funkadelic horn riffs are a embarrassment to the occupants of the Mothership.

    • I have to agree wit u…its like he laid his vocals first, and then they put a beat to the lyrics, on some tracks…or he had them already written, and didnt write to the track, iono…..dude can rap tho

      • The beats are ok but don’t match lyrics. It seems like he is trying to prove a point by using these beats. D – for effort. He’s a great lyricist tho.

    • Wow…harsh review but it sounds like you know what you’re talking about. I wouldn’t call this hating because you kept your critiques to the music. Props for your objectivity.

  2. Lmao this album was cool it didn’t have no cold beats but I think this was intended for people to look portions what’s playing in the backround to focus on what’s supposed to be the most anticipated part of the album……lyrics! And on that we’ll done.
