Here's another album whose mediocrity shines through most of the tracks. It's not great rapping for the most part. The production and beats are often fairly rote and things only really pick up for a few songs - the lead single, P.I.M.P, 21 Questions. Otherwise it's flat and dull, despite its appeal to authenticity. The whole shtick gets tiresome too because everything's just too earnest (which is why P.I.M.P. stood out as something which had a bit more wit about it) and so long (the downside to CD production). Surely there's a lot better hip hop out there which could've made a 1001, or which aged better than this.
