I dig the album a lot, and I think that will go up a little bit after hearing a proper rip. First impression?.......kind of reminds me of Kanye's Graduation.....in the sense that upon first listen the instrumentals themselves are meant to be anthematic, and epic......content-wise its similiar in the aspect that you have two grown men getting a little deeper, opening up, etc. Thats the feel off the bat for me....
As far as big/major label hip-hop artists go......the few left are going to stick to the formula (epic anthematic production that plays well in large arenas, and just don't suck at anything else)
