I had high expectations as well, but it was kinda letdown for me, after I heard Delilah and C.T.D., some of the beats are too simple, but it's still one of 2010 better albums.. and now give us Cats & Dogs!

Really feeling the beat on the last track. Just like the old Alc as he's fallen off a bit recently. Had it on repeat. Will check the rest when I can.

overall i enjoyed the album, but some of the production is, hard to enjoy i guess, i'd say half the albums prodcution is dope and the other half, i just wasnt feelin'. but rakaa comes correct as always
