This doesn't live up to the solid reputation it has for me. If I didn't know what year it was released, I would've thought it was an '80s album. It sounds dated to me and there was so much better hip hop being created in this peak era. Beats: ★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★☆ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Don't Give Me No Bammer, G's by the 1,2,3's, Remind Me
