According to my rating history, I'd listened to this, but I had no memory of it whatsoever, so with 'Liberation 2' dropping, I thought I'd give it a play. Talib comes with his usual enjoyable flow, but the production at times leaves something to be desired and there are some hooks that I can't deal with. 'Happy Home' is one example which is a shame as the verses are likeable. I don't like 'Engine Running' either. 'The Function' is just okay. 'Soul Music' is boring. It does nothing. The finale track, 'What Can I Do' is the only one I do remember hearing before. It has the best production on the album as it never sits still. The souly 'Funny Money' is another highlight. For only 30 minutes and 9 tracks, I don't think the quality is consistently high enough to be deserving of hovering near 4/5. Around a 3 out of 5 effort.
