After a few listens, I've decided this is a really good CD. Good beats and good guest appearances (especially the Snoop/Xzibit song).

I listen to a lot of underground rap (much of which is better than this release this year), so I wouldn't say one of the top ten this year, but still pretty good.

I'm still kinda meh on it. At first listen the beats were really nice and the lyrics were dope. Now I'm not really feeling many of the beats anymore and while his flow is nice, the subject matter is repetitive as hell.
