The first verse is atrocious. Open your damn mouth when you are rapping...FFS! Kanye was rapping worse verses on some of his acclaimed albums but now that the world is against him, everything he does is trash to some. The line everyone is so hilariously offended by is a way he has found some humour in amongst the shit storm. The last quarter of the song is the strongest. It's a shame more isn't done with the instrumentation change though.

This really isn't that bad. I'm not hearing the off beat complaint. Flip raps fine. As usual, Z-Ro contributes strongly. My main beef with this is some of the features who rap with that artificial/autotune wack voice, plus the mumbling of some as well. The second track, 'Do Yo Big One' is one of the worst moments. 'Up Up and Away' has I think the exact instrumental as another song that I can't think of at the moment. Flip doesn't make amazing albums, but this is another pretty consistent release, and it would be a lot better with more rappers I liked as features.

This is a decent 7 track EP/album from the former Tupac collaborator. Nothing will knock your socks off, but the beats, almost entirely by Scottzilla, are all solid and Noble spits some lyrics that catch my attention, such as those about his association with Pac. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★☆ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Pac, Yak & Fatal, Back Pocket, Henny & Yoga, Talkin My Talk

I prefer this album to Timbaland's and Magoo's debut. This one has a harder sound with more rapping on it. Magoo goes missing more so though with lots of features and he sounds a tad different here, not sounding quite as much as Q-Tip as the debut. Petey Pablo, who dropped his debut two weeks prior to this album dropping, that Timbaland produced a handful of songs on, is on four songs in a row. Sin, a feature on a couple, sounds like Biggie. 'All Y'all' has some interesting lyrics - "To all my ladies in lingerie, never underage, who stay gettin paid" - This line reminds me of Frank in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia making sure no one thought he was diddling kids. And then in the same verse you have some odd attempt at an Asian accent as he says, "Japanese girls even love my beats/They say, "Timbaland we love you/We love the dope things that you do." The "Indian carpet" sample in 'Indian Carpet' is a tad annoying. I think the weakest song is 'Love Me' that is a Tweet solo song as Petey only adds his voice to the intro. It's very slow and doesn't do enough. After that song though, it finishes strongly with a number of the best cuts on the album being featured. As with their debut, there is nothing brilliant, but there are a number of songs that aren't too far off. As a whole, it's not far from a 4 out of 5.

Jeezy's new album is a consistent solid body of work for 29 tracks, but that's kind of also its downfall. There aren't any risks on here. There are too many similar tracks. Jeezy flows as well as ever, and for no features he does well to maintain my attention, but a lot of the content isn't memorable. It begins slowly for me with 'Trust No One' the first to catch my attention and it improves from there with enough bangin' tracks to make this worth a listen, but after a number of playthroughs, there isn't enough A1 music to rate this higher. Lots of good songs. Few to no great ones. A light 3.5 out of 5. Best Tracks: I Might Forgive: Trust No One, Don't Cheat But I Don't Forget: Titanic, Never be a Fan, Since Pac Died, Free Champagne
