So how many mics would people give the album?

How does it rate amoung other albums this year?

And how does it compare to Chino's previous work? I fukked with that Poison Pen album too.

Too early, it's chino spitting for like 40 tracks. You don't need any more comparisons.

Its his best album. Its the best balance of content, raw lines and good beats that hes done, and he gave us two discs of material

Its early to say, but I could see it being in my Top 5 (retail albums) for the year

The reason I like it so much is because Chino came up with people like Canibus and Crooked I who struggle to make a decent album and transcend being just a "battle rapper".

With a joint like Fathers Day, Chino is kind of in a class of his own. Rarely do rappers ever get THAT personal and emotional

Good night, this album was so fukking refreshing. Listened to it at the gym last night and I could barely concentrate on working out. Nice to see proper lyrics and actual urgency in rap again.

Loving the album so far.. Chino gives so much insight to his personal life its crazy.. The track where he accidentally cut his mom with the knife.. The failed marriage.... Baby with cancer..

Yeah, he's really seperated himself from his competiton in that way. No way the likes of Canibus and Crooked could put out a well rounded album like this, and I like both of them.

Chino has found a really nice way to balance his lyricism with overall song making. His hook game has really developed through the years too. Just compare the hooks on this project to the ones on Here To Save You All or I Told You So, it's night and day.
