The song with Cham is :whew:

I dunno I mean a lot of people on here worship Chief Keef, Future and Gucci Mane. So I guess it all depends on what you like.

i've listened to and will listen to Don't Like, Love Sosa, a couple of Future joints, and Gucci's Back In '95 alot more than i would listen to any joint of this album again.. shyt is just a poor effort.

:manny:

a shame.. he won't ever live up to the hype.
i thought he'd end up one of my favorite rappers.

This album is right on the same level as Warning Shots maybe even better then Warning Shots. A cool sequel to the first.

:usure: this is the worst product Saigon has given us to date. What made GSNT album of the year for me was that it gave me a complete package of cohesiveness, production, storytelling, mc'ing, and message all wrapped in one.

This album is forced and contrived. Saigon is currently dealing with the problem most conscious rappers (Nas, Lu, Kweli, Krs) faced and that is wanting to be the moral compass of hip-hop so bad that they become almost a caricature of themselves....

Compare that to a rapper like pac who was gifted enough to depict the duality of the streets without sounding like somebody Uncle trying to teach young buls a lesson.

Lets not even get started on the crossover single attempts :comeon: ...Sai is better than this.

The most misdirected product Sai dropped was WS2 in late 09. This album is better then that and WS3. As a package its better then All In A Days Work. If GSNT was Me Against The World GSNT2 would be All Eyes On Me Disc 1. Had this album been called a mixtape instead of an album it would be praised. I dont know if you've been paying attention to Saigon but ever since that 2005 DVD dude has said he wanted to make music to school the kids. Thats why he's grimey on mixtapes and conscious uncle on the albums. Sai will always get kudos for dedicating his studio albums to enlightening the youth unlike the Jiggas who years after their prime make album soundtracks for dope dealing snitches. Best Thing That I Found sounds like entrance music for a wrestler on WWE.

There was only one song where i heard the "wack soundclick beat" impression

That said, the album only had one song where I was reminded of GSNT, and i think that was Game Changer.

Rap Vs Real is probably my favorite track.

Still need to focus a little on the second half of the album.. But this aint touching GSNT, which to me was about 4.75/5 mics

I'll give this one 3/5 mics.. but I'm giving it more listens.. and I can see it coming up to 3.5-4 mics
