The first song isn't bad, it kind of bangs. 'Undeniable' uses the same sample that Nas would use a couple of years later on 'You Can't Stop Us Now' and it's hard not to compare it to that much better extra layered song. 'A Ha' has some funk. Mos Def sounds a little bored on 'Dollar Day'. Overall the first half of the album is decent at best. From 'There Is a Way' this is consistent to the end though. I like the backend. I think it picks up the quality. If this was by a no-name rapper it would have a better reputation than it does. Best Tracks: There Is a Way
