More listens now and my list is starting to solidify. This is better than ELE1, IMHO.

1. Boomp! - Two weeks ago and my #1 was Czar. A week ago and it was Master Fard Muhamad. This week? Boomp! I just love the way this track came out of nowhere and took the top spot. Beat is simple, Busta's flow is fantastic-this track is just so fukking catchy.

2. Master Fard Muhmmad - This one is second only because Busta isn't over entire track. Other than that, damn good track. Rosay beats are super easy listens and Busta showed his whole ass with his verse.

3. Czar - Classic Busta beat = Classic Busta track. Late 1990s me would be wearing this track on band bus trips for high school football games.

4. Outta My Mind - A sample that I didn't think would work at first, but after multiple listens it just does.

5. Oh No - Old School Rapper on a donkey beat? He slaughters this shyt. Guilty pleasure listen.

6. Strap Yourself Down - Wish the second half lasted longer. Head bumping off the flow and the drums.

7. Look Over Your Shoulder - Another unlikely sample that just works.

8. The Don & The Boss - iffy on this one, but I don't see anything replacing it, so :yeshrug:
DEF better than ELE1. And I’ll go so far as to say this is his best album ever! :manny:

That track with Flipmode :wow:

Damn, yea this one really solidifying the album for me, didnt feel quite right without Flipmode on a track. Wonder why he left this off cuz this sounds fantastic

Same with the new version of Czar, with M.O.P. getting new actual verses instead of just being sampled in, and that kid CJ on the last verse is actually pretty tight too. He's that puerto rican kid from Staten blowing up with 'Whoopty' right now, he did better than I'd have expected and it feels bigger connecting it with the newer generation too. Here's the new Czar Remix with them all on it:


These 2 bonus tracks from this 3rd re-rerelease Deluxe edition are both fire AF, definitely boosted my appreciation of the album
