Heralded in underground circles as a hidden gem, this is better than a lot of mainstream music, however, there are also many better albums most people haven't heard. The rappers aren't overly distinctive, hooks aren't extremely contagious, the topics aren't anything new, and it does sound like so much other g-funk. It's a nice soulful/funky listen that makes so much hip hop from the '90s great though. It's well worth a listen but it didn't quite live up the hype for me. Best Tracks: Hustler, No One's Gonna Play You
