It's definitely not as good as B4I, but it's one of my top 5 favorite hip hop albums of the year. I was shocked as to how many songs Ras Kass is featured in, but he never disappointed. I really loved the track with my mans Apathy too. Great album. This, Rapsody, and Common/Pete Rock are my favorite 3 of the year (with Apathy and Masta Ace occupying the 4th and 5th spots.). I truly believe LL and Rakim are going to get Ace or Apathy's positions in my top 5 by the end of the year.
