Stop me now is the best track.

Above The Clouds
I am a underground hip hop listener (Deltron 3030 is in my top 10 hiphop albums)...so take this seriously. I was intoxicated during this review.

Yuck: 4.2
Crack: 3.9
Dope Peddler:4.5
No Lie: 3.0 would of been 4.0 without Drake. I think this beat needed no hook just straight bars on some "Keep It Thoro" type shyt. Just speak some fly shyt then go back to spitting
Birthday Song: 4.5 This shyt go turkey bacon in the whip. Sounds better when you don't hear the lyrics just the beat. So that's my perspective on the score.
I'm Different: I was 2.5 milliseconds from hitting next. But I gave it a listen....and I give it.....3.7 on some old school hip-hop shyt. Livewire nikkas should feel this song. I am not your average human type shyt.
Extremely Blessed: 3.6 Not bad he had some good bag a bytch bars. But Dream with that extra "ssssssssss" after his words.not feeling it.
I Luve Dem Strippers: I am a sucker for Piano Nick Goosebumps beats. I'm sorry. 4.0
Stop Me Now: Picture sitting on my uncles ATL porch vibin to this beat damn near 98.9 degrees. 4.6
Money Machine: 3.0
In Town: Don't like it. 2.5 for Piano
Ghetto Dreams: 4.7 Some good Triumph music. Feeling it.
Wut We Doing: 4.7 Ill Track
========================================
Countdown: fukk this track. Never liked Chris Brown singing. 1.0
Like Me: THE BASE. 3.0
I Feel Good: 4.7
Riot: 4.5

Tracks I will delete: Countdown, In Town.

Overall it's pretty "eh" but I was expecting some "One Day At A Time" ft. Jadakiss type shyt...but that's what we get for high expectations. It's still listenable.

Still good money album. The days of grimey/true trap music is slowly fading away. That type of music can only take you so far. You have to conform in some type of way or come up with crazy new lingo so nobody but the hood will understand it. Example: Crack

64/100

2 chainz dropped some classic bars with this one:

Me and my nikka pass your ho like a hot potato
I be like you could get her, he be like you could get her
I be like you could have her, he be like you could have her
He be like, it don't matter, I be like, me neither

haven't laughed so hard to a song since wayne has a seizure while describing the sound of a gun during the recording of "p*ssy nikka" freestyle

My Pops Forever RIP
what a letdown. I don't know which album was a bigger disappointment: this or Live From The Underground.

That said, Extremely Blessed was fire. Lex did a good job on this. The Dope Peddler beat was fire even though 2 Chainz was ass. In Town and Stop Me Now were good too. Other than that, ugh.
