I was disappointed by this album at first but I find myself spinning it end to end, often

It's a quick and cohesive listen. It tells a light story of his career and it has varied sounds

I wish the tracks were a bit more fleshed out but this will definitely wind up in my Top 10 this year

Nice to see things come full circle for The Ruler


I was listening back Victory again yesterday and I’m glad he didn’t switch up and try to rap over these new beats all the younger heads be rapping over

He stayed true to himself

Been listening back to this album again this week

This was more like an appetizer than a full entree

Im happy he dropped a new album but the album leaves me feel like this was just a album sampler before the real album


Style wise, Rick stayed true to himself but the songs needed to be longer and not just snippets

Been listening back to this album again the last few days

The songs are just too short, they’re basically just snippets of a song and that’s the problem with the album honestly
Remember Samplers back in the day?

This felt like a sampler for an album we didn't get, the album was the sampler lol...

Yup, I do

That’s exactly what it felt like, just about the time your invested in the song, it shifts to the next.

That’s my gripe with the album, the songs are just too short. He gave us snippets of songs

Landlord is arguably the standout track, at least that had a normal run time.

We blessed for that at least.

True

I just wish songs like Spirit To Cry, Angelic, So You’re Having My Baby, We’re Not Losing, Come On Let’s Go and Cuz I’m Here For It all were longer though

But at the end of the day, it’s still a celebration. Slick Rick finally released a brand new album at 60 and didn’t sound dated at all.
