how the hell this get a sticky ?

its ok..I expected worse.
Moral of the Story is good and I like Sirracha, Involved and We Like That.

for the volume, JR's punches not hitting at a high %
you'd think out of all of them he would have been able to shape his style better.

Ruger still entertaining as hell but all that fukkery he was involved in deads it all...you look at him different now.
40 sounds decent, Gist and Mafia sound fine when they pop up.

the one thing about all of them back then they had back then is they had punches and that talk but they had that Uptown flow, that put that sheen on it if the punches weren't working. only Rell and Mafia showing flashes of it. JR and 40 doing that slower and pause-y shyt doesn't work. Resurrect is a clear example of this. everything had to be a little bit faster.

how they feel Kasa got to pull up his little kids chair to the adults table ?

I can’t front, this is hard. Very unexpected. I kept 6 of the 8 tracks, which is more than I was expecting. J.R. Writer sounds different than what I remembered at his peak, but not really any complaints about this. Just bars and hard beats, that’s all I need. Haven’t listened to Diplomatic Ties yet, but I know for a fact that Juelz and Cam are washed and Jim Jones will be carrying them.
