Album is okay but overall don't have a lot of replay value. The only songs I could see myself coming back to is "Grammy Speech", "White Power", "The Long Way" and "Guns N Roses".

His album Blasphemy with Apollo Brown was way better than this. And as a sequel to the classic Soul On Ice it just doesn't hold up.

Ras can rap his ass off and we all know he is one of the greatest lyricist in hip hop ever but he always have had trouble making an actual cohesive and interesting project with a few execptions.

SO AFTER LETTIN IT MARINATE FOR THE PAST COUPLE WEEKE (ONLY WAY TO TRULY APPRECIATE A RASY ALBUM), THIS SHIIT IS EXCELLENT..

I WOULDNT CALL IT CLASSIC LIKE HIS FIRST ALBUM, BUT HE’S LYRICALLY AS SHARP AS EVER.

ON FIRST LISTEN I THOUGHT IT WAS JUS COOL, BUT THIS IS THE TYPA OF ALBUM THAT NEEDS YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION, SO IT GOT BETTER THE MORE I LISTENED.

STAND OUT TRACKS:

GRAMMY SPEECH
FLY
STREET SUPERSTAR
THE LONG WAY
TRAPPED MUSIC (PART 2)
CAN U FEEL IT
OPIOD CRISIS

NO BAD TRACKS THO, THOSE IS JUS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE.

DUNO IF ANYONE HERE STILL BUYS HARD COPIES LIKE ME, BUT THE CD VERSION IS DIFF FROM THE TRACKLISTING IM READING ONLINE BTW.. TRAPPED MUSIC 1 & 2 WERE COMBINED INTO 1 TRACK AND GHOSTED WAS AN UNLISTED BONUS SONG THAT PLAYS ON THE SAME TRACK AS OPIOD CRISIS.

That White Power track is incredible. Needs to be heard on a major scale

EDIT: this album is VERY good from White Power and on. Literally have no complaints from that song on. Really good production, not cheap sounding like some of his pre-Apollo Brown albums

shyt is CRAZY. I do agree with those who said the mixing and mastering could have been better. Should have asked Dre if he would on the strength.
