I can not believe what I just heard   this has to be some sort of god damn joke

1. So Long - 5/5 - heck of a way to open the album - got me thinkin this gon be some classic banner shit
2. GSET Intro - cool intro

4. Suicide Doors - 5/5 - god damn southern anthem, wow nice to hear UGK on this
5. 9mm - 4.5/5 - cant blame banner for using it; nice mainstream joint
6. T.I. Speaks - dool story told by the king
7. Get Like Me - 3.5/5 - tolerable lol
8. Shawty Say - 1.5/5 - WOW at sampling "lollipop" already just wow
9. A Girl - 1/5 - even worse than shawty say, FUCK was banner thinking
10. syrup sippin beat break - not needed
11. Hold On - 5/5 - back on track lol, dope track
12. Cadillac's On 22s Pt.2 - 3/5 - hella disappointing after how good pt1 was..wonder how long it took banner to come up with this hook
13. Uncle Swac - un-needed, long skit
14. Freedom - skit, dope lyrics - should have been used for a real song, complete waste
15. BAN - 2/5 - decent beat and cool verses but WHAT THE FUCK AT THE HOOK?!?!??!?!?
16. Fuck u Hoes - 2.5/5 - real original Banner
17. Marz - filler, not needed beat drum
18. Ball With Me - 2.5/5 - i had hope for this song but NOPE..nitti sucks at beats and the hook is beyond horrible. WOW.
19. K.O. - 2/5 - hella annoying
20. Fly - 1.5/5 - horrible
21. Faith - 4/5 - good track
22. Bonus beat drum - not needed

[Lunatic]

^lol it aint no 5/5

[R1ZE]

1. So Long - 3/5 not bad
2. GSET Intro - meh
3. Suicide Doors - 4/5 - good shit.
4. 9mm - 4/5 im glad he put this on here - i hate when rappers release a single and then its never on any of their albums
5. T.I. Speaks - interesting enough the first listen - but id prefer a guest verse.
6. Get Like Me - 4/5 love this song.. and i usually hate chris brown and joc
7. Shawty Say - 3/5 chorus aside.. not too bad
8. A Girl - 3/5 sounds about right
9. syrup sippin beat break - not needed?!?! this is a dope beat. not only is it needed, some words over it are too
10. Hold On - 3.5/5 its been done better before
11. Cadillac's On 22s Pt.2 - 2/5 yeah... would be higher if he didnt actually say "part two" on every chorus
12. Uncle Swac - another good beat wasted on a story
13. I Get By - 3.5/5 banner just doesnt sound right over these kinda beats
14. Freedom - skip
15. BAN - 1.5/5 hook is intolerable
16. Fuck u Hoes - 3.5/5 - chevys with butterfly doors again? jim jones sayin ballin again? w/e i can roll with it
17. Marz - WHY is he wasting some of his best beats on the album on interludes?!?!?
18. Ball With Me - 1/5 - WHY is he going to someone else for beats? and NITTI of all people?!!??! almost as bad as la la from c3
19. K.O. - 2.5/5 - filler
20. Fly - 4/5 dope... but im a mark for some smooth jazze shit
21. Faith - 2.5/5 meh
22. Bonus beat drum - jazzy, smooth, dope.... call it banner's groove. probably my favorite song on the album, lol

overall, better than I expected after reading through the topic. not good by any means, but maybe a 2.5/5. i gotta listen to it more to get a better feel of it.

[D~Nice]

Solid album, far from his best though.
