The Format isn't great from start to finish, (not many albums are anymore) but there are some great tracks here such as 'The Format', 'The Animal' and 'Sit Em Back Slow'. His rapping talent is outstanding especially on the tracks mentioned which is nothing new. He's still one the better rappers to do it.
I like this a fair bit more than his last album, so if you like that you should definitely like this. Overall the few tracks I love go a large way to earning it its 3.5/5, the rest of them like 'Make Me', 'Get High' and 'Game of Life' are all good though also which make for a fairly solid album. Also, I just wanna say track 10, 'The Format' is one of my favourite if not my favourite AZ track, great production from Premo. It's AZ's 'Nas Is Like'.
Best Tracks: Sit Em Back Slow, I Am the Truth, Animal, The Format
