I gotta say, I've had this album for some time. From the first listen his word play had me captivated but this shyt just got better and better. This is some real good music.

I haven't read through the thread yet but im guessing she sucks is deemed as one of the lesser tracks. That track is dope! Reminds me of something off 12 reasons

This release has the same problems as Elzhi's other stuff....

Technically it's all very good and the beats are neat and tidy and everything sounds fine. But El has no personality. Dude is like a robot. It's all technique and no feeling. He just relentlessly raps for an hour. He never slows down or switches it up. It get's mindnumbing after a while.

Some nice production choices but ehh.....the music just isn't that compelling with Elzhi behind it.

after sitting wit it/forcing it on myself a few times..i have to say, i agree.
i just don't feel like going back to it which is a shame for someone as gifted with the pen as Elzhi.

there are certain songs like Hello that are fantastic though.
