Bland. I can see why folks like it, but this isn't for me. Soft rock, with a teenage level politics undercurrent. Love songs seem to be rather prominent.

Amazing production. This is Missy and Timberland at their peak. Missy is hard to pin down- she's a top tier MC, however you slice it. This takes me back to a fun time.

Great early hip-hop with a true political edge. It is instantly familiar- not least because so much modern hip-hop pays tribute to it. A great album.

Nice fun music, but not really what I'm digging at the minute. I can see why it's on the list though.
