I had just posted recently about how much I disliked this album, so I went back and listened to it start to finish and it's a really solid 4 mic effort.

I did not like this album. It is part of the reason I can’t crown Meth like a lot of dudes do.

This album was Strike 2, because I wasn’t crazy about Tical either.

Both albums had a handful of cuts I liked, but overall seemed like a bunch of tracks
just thrown together sequenced all wrong. That single with D’Angelo was out of nowhere,
and the lead single was the last song WTF? That skit with Chris Rock felt like the intro - but it
was in the middle of the album! Nah. Chit didn’t make sense at all.

Loved “Spazzola”, doe. Maybe that was a reason I was mad.
I heard this before the album on a Def Jam sampler (I forget whose album it was in)
so I thought the album might be phirr.

I'm a huge Wu fan and I still don’t love Tical. I like it, there's bangers in there but I don’t live It either.

Neither of these albums are great

I've revisited the album couple weeks ago and even by trimming it down I still don't like it. No coherence whatsoever and a lot of forgettable beats, including this one. Meth was always my favorite MC of the group so it sucks that lots of his best work isn't even on his own albums.
