I'm far from a hip hop enthusiast. I've listened to the record many times before, was big with my friends in college. I like this album pretty well, enjoying more than anything else the interesting samples and the sound of the beats. Can see these aspects as a template for many "alt rap" artists that followed. Overall however I didn't resonate much with the "tough guy" lyrics and personas often present here. The interstitials I found especially dumb. "I'm gonna fuck your ass up" "fuck you, ni**a" and all this stuff. I find it kinda silly and basically unpleasant. I like the sounds of ODB's voice but he seems like a real dipshit. Too often I didn't like long stretches of rapping in about half of the individual songs, where the song itself then becomes a throwaway for me. Good but far from essential, and I'd go elsewhere if I'm in the mood for hip hop (which is almost never). "Method Man" was my favorite track.
