about half way in and I'm enjoying this album. It's got a jazzy feel that I really enjoy in rap music. It does get a little samey through a full album which brings me to a common refrain for me regarding Rap albums...they're too long. At 56 minutes this one is not as egregious as others and it actually does vary the musical styles more than some other highly rated Rap classics which definitely helps in the listenability department but still I'd like it more if it were 10 minutes shorter. All in all one of the better rap albums on this list IMHO. 4 stars
