i thought this was a nice album...for the most-part the beats were bumpin and easy to listen to...nexus usually comes nice but sometimes the monotone voice could use a little more flexibility. there are many nice songs like unstopable, i can't win, he ain't, just to name a few...at first listen i thought "it's nothin'" was an awesome track, expecially the chorus "it's nothin it's just words, it's nothin but a diss/it means nothin if you real, it means somethin to a bitch/"i thought that was dope but then on the bonus track "Again" he gets himself caught up in dissing...just thought that was a little off but nothing to bring the album down at all...there are too many nice songs to ignore this, so peep that shit yall, 3.75/5.
I just downloaded a couple of songs and he's pretty good with his delivery but the main problem is his voice is terrible. He got stuck with that corny white boy voice. His flow is good at times, bad at times.

I must of been deep in my Muslim phase and missed this when it origionally came out. But I've gone back and listened to it while I do my exercise routines during the day.I find it an album that you can bump from beginning to end. You don't have skip any tracks. It's very fresh material, you don't get the feeling that he is trying to be somebody else. He is just himself, and his rhymes are clever and thought provoking. I love how he embraces the underdog persona, rather than trying to rap like he's already famous and successful. He responds to all critics, real or imagined. He can make up whole songs where it's like every line, he thinks it first, the critic response to that line, and then he counters with a response, and so on... There's a lot of self-reflection in that. His rhyme schemes are not overdone. A lot of rappers these days may try to show off their flow, like Slaughterhouse does. They want to show how fast or complicated they can rap. Nexus always stays within himself and just does what he does best. ...sometimes less is more.
real shit...i believe nexus stopped rappin, but if he ever wants to make a comeback, it'd be my honor to feature him on an L.A.M.B cut.. even if we were on mtv gettin daily plays, the olive-branch will remain extended. this album is too good for how slept on it was....we were actually workin on a follow up when he suddenly lost inspiration and decided to retire....a few years later, i contacted him and he was workin on some rock music, where he was playin guitar, singin and all. the alerg route lol.....safe to say, it wasnt nearly as good as his hip-hop stuff.
