Big Moe's 'City of Syrup' has a solid reputation anywhere you look but I'm not feeling this one too much. Some of the production is poor and some of the features like Z-Ro steal the show from Big Moe who never impresses me. While 'Maan!' bangs to a certain extent, it tries to be Black Rob's 'Whoa!' but is not as catchy or as well produced. The skits are uninteresting, too long and make the album feel bloated. 'Payin' Dues' borrows from Santana's 'Maria, Maria' and Wham!'s 'Careless Whisper' but it doesn't work too well and sounds amateurish as does some of the other production.
