A heat check from someone who has done it all. Put some respect on his name. He did his thing during multiple era’s, vanished for a few and still can drop in the current with no problem. This is a good time, he mixes that celebrity flash, his accomplishments, mentions his downs, and even includes one of his kids in the mix just to show you that not only he can do anything, that maybe you could too, just without this type of budget. He manages to keep his signature flow clean on new age production, but also finds production that works well with him without sounding dated. The pacing is solid, the skits are solid, and honestly for how much we all know about his life, he could do this like 10 more times and we still could go for more. This project is fun, it sounds big, like movie soundtrack quality and is mostly kid friendly. Throw this on just to see what hes been up to. In rotation.
