I have to admit im kinda dissapointed

You listen to Dipset so no surprise there. Anyways this shit is hot and really well put together. Great content and production and most importantly its a full LP instead of that 10-12 song 45-50min fake ass LP crap all these rappers keep putting out. Exactly how a hip hop album should be nowadays. The length will give it good replay value somethin rare nowadays. Right now I give it a 9/10 but that rating will probably increase. Definitely gonna cop this. 
Sometimes I need reminders why I bother to rap
Then I think back to cats who only father is rap
I dead beats, but you niggas is Lou
Im Uncle Phil gotta give em somethin real
cause If I dont who will

10 to 12 tracks is an album., usually more concept driven.  Is illmatic not an album?  12 to 16 tracks is also an album, with lots of content though it does not mean all is necessary quality.

one of the biggest problems in hip hop for the past x number of years has been bloated 18 track albums with too much filler so that is a completely stupid fucking opinion to have.

11,000 units first week, pretty poor effort but I guess it was expected. I bought my copy, anyone else?

You shouldn't even throw around the term classic until atleast a couple of years after the album has come out, if it's still brough up in conversation and sounds fresh then, then I'd consider giving it that term. It is a very very solid album, and I believe could definitely be a future classic, however it all depends on how the album ages with time

Definitely looking forward to picking up this and Arms & Hammers by Strong Arm Steady. Have managed to avoid both leaks and can't wait to bump.
