Kinda, I mean CI2DG didn't have mega soft songs (last cut, tribute to Kevin Miller, was excellent), alot of hard shyt (We Can Dance, Throw Yo Hood Up, I'm A Soldier), alot of opulent mafioso sounding stuff (Who Can I Trust, Give Me The World, How Many, Mama Always Told Me) and a couple of hoe cuts, twas a well-done and nicely balanced album imo
Yeah, but listening to the first 9-10 songs, the order is all over the place. There's no real flow:
1. I'm A Soldier- rowdy, soldier posse cut
2. Give Me The World- mafiosos joint
3. Throw Your Hood Up- another rowdy joint
4. Just Be Straight With Me- kind of keeps the pace from the previous song despite the Destiny's Child feature
5. If I Don't Gotta- dope introspective joint that slows things down a bit, but is out of place
6. Spotaggin- pointless interlude
7. We Can Dance
8. Mama Always Told- now if this transitioned from "Just Be Straight" into "If I Don't Gotta", it would make more sense.
9. You Ain't Gotta Lie To Kick It- should be before or after "We Can Dance".
10. Thug N Me- changes pace of the album
Personally, I would've put "It Ain't My Fault" and "Let Me Hit It" earlier in the album. "Give Me The World" and "Who Can I Trust" should be closer together. "Who I Be" should be earlier too. "How Many" should've been the last song. Perfect closer in my opinion.
