This is the first Cam'ron album I've heard and it has to be one of the most lacklustre hip hop albums I've ever listened to. People rate this guy highly? Cam'ron is boring and the beats offer little.

Cozz, who signed to J. Cole's label earlier in the year, comes with his debut album. I looked forward to this after hearing 'Dreams' with its fairly dope production and some nice lyrics. Elsewhere, there are similarly good moments but at the same time, there are too many generic bars where he brags and talks about bitches and overall I don't think he's that entertaining.

I really don't feel the whole TDE crew. I think that they all have some talent, but from the 2012 releases from Schoolboy Q, Kendrick and now Ab-Soul, I definitely don't think that all of the praise has been deserving. It's mostly the beat selection on the whole making for a lack of great moments and except for Kendrick, as rappers they don't have an X factor at all. Best Tracks: Soulo Ho3, Track Two, ILLuminate, Beautiful Death.

Apart from the unintentionally humorous 'Intro' this album begins okay with there being some good tracks here. The beat provided by RZA on 'Stand Up' is the strongest, with its fast keys beginning about 1:30 into the song working really well. It has great lyrics also: "Charli: Yo, yo, yo yo Tony, what up? Heard your dick was good. Ghostface Killah: You should know, yo I fucked you on the side of my hood. Charli: Never that dawg, From where you can never hit it. Throw a razor in my mouth on the low, And suck ya dick with it."" - Classic! Teddy Riley also provides the heavily 'Can You Feel It' sampled 'Feel It', DJ Premier produces 'Everybody Wanna Know', Clark Kent with 'Money' and Havoc gives us 'Infamous', so while they don't give great beats, there are plenty of big names here. Lyrically Charli (who apparently got her name from Geena Davis' character in 'The Long Kiss Goodnight', does what too many female rappers seem to think that they have to do and act like a hip hop slut too often throughout the album. Her rapping is fine though with her pulling off the tough chick persona well enough, however, some of the more conscious/introspective tracks are among the best such as 'They' and 'Have It All'. Inconsistent but there isn't anything too bad. Best Tracks: Stand Up, Feel It, They, Have It All, 30 Miles From Baltimore

This continues to get more pop-rappy/R&B as did their previous album, but there is little not to like in my opinion. 'Somethin' Like Dis' is one of my favourite songs from the duo. Less ol' school feeling than their previous work, but a solid pop-rap collection of songs.
