Forget about Hammer's rapping or the production itself, one of the biggest problems with this is the similarity in that everything has an almost gospel-like chorus making the songs sound too similar. Then there is 'Do Not Pass Me By' that is very 'Too Legit to Quit'-ish in its rhythm. 'This Is the Way We Roll' and the title track are decent uptempo pop jams. The emotion in the singing, particularly on the end of 'Brothers Hang On' is over the top. 'Living in a World Like This' is some conscious rap where the first few seconds sound like the intro from MJ's 'Heal the World'. The song has some anti-drug messages among others. 'Tell Me' follows the same theme before switching up the pace with 'Releasing Some Pressure'. 'Good to Go' is a decent slow vibey tune but it's ruined a bit with the "Cha-Cha-Cha" rubbish at the end. On 'Street Soldiers' Hammer just speaks over a beat like a PSA pushing an anti-gang/violence message. The idea is there but in the end it's boring. 'Do Not Pass Me By' again feels like something you see in movies when there is singing in a black church. There is nothing here I want to play again but it's okay. I can listen to most of it without strongly wanting to hit skip. Best Tracks: This Is the Way We Roll, Too Legit to Quit, Good to Go, Gaining Momentum
