My theory is that rappers can't do more than like 36 months and come home ok. They just lose so much, and come out to a changed world. I was a BG fan in 1998, and I even liked his 2009 album, but he's pretty stagnant as an artist.

Glad he realized moving back to NO was a disaster waiting to happen. Nothing wrong with a change of scenery

Very solid Album BG sounds no different than what he sounded like before he did his bid
He could’ve done without some of these features though

“Go Live” is horrible but I mess with a lot of the other tracks on here. He’s addressing the whole feds paying attention to his lyrics thing, which is good. He’ll be fine as long as he leans into story telling like he has and production stays on point.
Negged pending
Him and D-Roc beats don't mesh well. Honestly the beats sound the same from D-Roc....Same formula.
BG badly needs Mannie. Mannie should have done the entire album. I don't understand why artist move away from their foundation or main producer.
I wasn't impressed with the production at all on this album.
Live From The Gutta doesn't sound like anything on the album, Best Song on there to me. It's just a different production, simple but it has parts in the production.
Every other song sounds the same production wise. Wasn't expecting much from BG as far as commentary but I can say back in the day, his production used to be on par...when Mannie did his albums or if he rapped over a Mannie production.
Honestly, this is the same issue Boosie is having, they are trying to mesh with a 'young' sound, where is, their old stuff doesn't sound anything like their new stuff. Their old production/beats are night and day from what they are today. Leave that 808 heavy base sound to the younger rappers dayum
One thing that these old rappers must do, stop being cheap on your production. They all work with the same producers. TNT, he started off with YB, that's YB style, not BG..
I just don't know, I'm not trying to come off as a hater, I promise I'm far from that, but I'm just disappointed especially with the production.
I give this album a 2/10. And I'm a big big B.G. fan, Honesty.

I honestly don't understand why Mannie, Just Blaze, etc stopped getting placements even if its just 1 lil track
That part.
I know D-Roc has about 3 to 4 songs on the album, and he has hits, I'm sure if BG can afford 3 to 4 beats from him, I'm sure he can afford 3 to 4 beats from Fresh.
Or at least carve out a budget for Fresh to do the whole album and the treatment.
This was his last really shot to get some shine. Let Fresh take care of the production.

Reese Youngin came through with one of the worst hooks ever 
He sounds like he’s deaf and just walked into a studio session
