Half way through the album and I gotta say Pete has fallen off bad. Some of the tracks are dope but some are very so so. None of his signature sounds are in there. Smif-N-Wessun are boring me a bit too.

As for the second half, track 9 and 10 are clear skippers. and then the last 4 tracks are the same as the first 8, a mixture of dope or uninteresting. I wasn't feeling Stand Up Guy for the fact that Alchemist has used the sample already.

So the overall result for me is both acts have fallen off bad, nothing more than a 6/10. Seriously disappointed.

Don't take my word for it. I'm hard to please these days. Let me know what you think.

I liked Quik's album better tbh. This is a 7 out of 10. 2nd track hits but same sample as Royce Nickel Nine Is from back in the day...

WCoastTillIDie · « **Reply #10 on:** June 22, 2011, 10:09:04 PM »

It's alright, 8 tracks are solid.

Thats a real strange and random comparison.

Anyone else got an opinion on this. I want to know if I'm alone in thinking ths is a disappointment.

WCoastTillIDie · « **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2011, 05:09:33 PM »

^ Honestly, it's somewhat of a disappointment. I still like about 8 or 9 songs from the album, I had medium expectations because these guys are pretty old lol.
