Boldy's flow is real dope. His subject matter is obviously one dimensional as hell, but I found myself surprised in a good way how many clever lines he had sprinkled around. Not bad at all. I was glad to hear Staples, Earl, Domo, and Dash by the end of the album because I did think Boldy's monotone style was starting to get repetitive by the end. Those guests after Cobo Hall helped keep the last leg of the album fresh.
Freeway lost me with the Hiyaaa line.

I don't know if I can give an ordered list exactly. What I think shifts a little.
Lke you have Al's 3 solos albums, mine would be the same. 1st Infantry, Chemical Warfare, Russian Roulette. Then with the tapes Insomnia at the top, followed by Cutting Room Floor, Chemistry Files/No Days Off, then Cutting Room Floor 2.
Return of the Mac, Covert Coup, Albert Einstein, and M1CS would be the top 4 for collab albums. You could flip the order around depending on the day.
The rest of my list is like yours. I have No Idols and 360 Waves right around the same level, with Rare Chandeliers, Masterpiece Theater, and The Antidote definitely as the 3 worst. I'm hoping Lord Steppington will come strongly into the top 3-5.

whats the other two?
Return of the Mac/Albert Einstein with Prodigy (take your pick) and Covert Coup with Currensy.
Beat for beat I like this shyt here because it has knockin drums on every track. If was getting snoozy on some of those no-drum loops. This is also the best blend of the newer ALC style and the ALC style I really enjoyed in the mid to late 00's. There are more beats on here that sound like "classic ALC" than any of his collab projects post Return of the Mac.
matter of fact, take ya lil dap back and find ya own link.. i dont fukk with disrespectful folk..
