A Grand Don't Come For Free
The Streets

I was worried this wouldn’t hold up because I hadn’t listened to it since high school. I figured the impact would have worn off a bit now that I’m not a teenager, but it’s…. somehow better? I think it works top to bottom. It’s one of the most successful concept albums/operas I’ve ever heard. It is a top-tier work of fiction about the mid 2000s. I can’t believe it.
