This an OG aging gracefully in his raps. He gives a bit of what he loves, a bit of what you know him for and a bit of honestly whatever he wants. He shows his colors too with songs like Track 16 taking stabs at the new social media ways and what not, its his version of get off his hip hop lawn. The variety on here is dope as far as production, to G-Funk, to that wild ass bust the cardboard out bboy dance track. What never really changes is him, he drops his household cadence and flow on everything on here and it honestly works for the most part. Dope pacing, dope super dope cookout features, and just a good time. He even does some new age autotune hook type track. This is how you supposed to drop music, however the fuck you want, especially when you are this embedded into this culture. In rotation, elder heads gonna love this one.
