The beats, by No I.D. are a blend of trap rap, pop rap and soulful tunes. There isn't much I love at all. The topics range from what the title will infer, Chicago's violence, to chick songs, to the old days. Common has never been a rapper I've loved, but here it's even less so. Some of the rhyming such as 'money' with 'funny' sounds like he used the first rhyme that came to mind. Overall it's disappointing. Common spits some knowledge but isn't at his best and the production is quite underwhelming as well.
