I go back and forth between this and Mobb. But it's those two and the third isn't even close.This sh*t is still AOTY for me.
Haven't stopped playing it.
People criticize the subject matter but I think what Freddie did here is underrated in the sense that he PERFECTLY compliments the soundscape Alchemist created for him...and his content gets a bit underrated. There's a sense of paranoia and nihilism in his raps which I didn't really get from any of his other projects (which I also admittedly don't love like that).
This album is definitely special for me as it doesn't benefit from the nostalgia that the Mobb album has, or any high profile features.
