ah I love that Pro/Con shit, saves me so much time when I dont want to read through a whole review, I DID in fact read your review though, very good, you kept it short and simple which works out perfect, no one wants to read through 3 pages just to know if a cd is good.

P.S. I agree with the rating, I might have gone with a 9/10, 4.5 though.

Edit: I like knowing the producers of tracks too so good looks on that also.

Word, classics CAN be 4/5's. But iono I think I was high when I did this one, album is a 10/10 , lyrics 10/10 , beats 10/10.

i never said it was bad i just feel that its overrated. its a 3.5 in my book and i've listened to it soooo many times just trying to see what others see in it. i think his flow on there was the least creative its ever been.

^How was his flow least creative? That's some dumb shit. G Rap's flow is always on point, you're retarded. He has the exact same flow and same style he's had since when he first dropped, you die now.
