This just straight to the point stinky boom bap for folks who believed that Michael Vick powerade commercial. The beats boom when they should boom and bap when they bap. The mix overall was solid and felt like they were going for that cassette tape feel. This has the cuts to follow and all the stinky features doing exactly what the main event was doing, and thats just rapping. The things that were negative on this was some songs were just too long, and some features stuck out like a sore thumb, but other than that everything else was dope. Dope samples, crunchy drums, and dope cuts. The pacing was solid and the subject matter is just hip hop culture shit but before the junkie drug addict instant gratification era. Throw this on if you still think something’s off when dudes wear they clothes too tight. In rotation.
