nothing special there (personal taste) kind of a filler i think, but as much as i said i was a bit disappointed by Nip s voice in "Rap N...." i gotta revise my judgement cause the song really grew up on me (it s just i like his past shit so much) and i really wanna ear the album right now

Just finished the first lsiten and DAMN it's great!

It's his best project to date without a doubt even though I dont feel the entire album so far there's 3 songs I had hard time digging "Hussle & Motivate" which sample "Hard Knock Life" bassline, "Succa Proof" and "Keys 2 The City 2" which is far from the first one.

The Introduction, "Million While You Young", "Dedication", "Double Up", "Blue Laces 2" and "Right Hand 2 God" are among my favorites so far  8)

Good album release from nipsey but definitely not is best work especially comparing it to Crenshaw or The Marathon series. I guess this is what happens after YEARS of waiting.

Double Up with Dom is my personal fave track.....late night cruise shit  8) 8) 8)

Yes nipsey isn't the best rapper, and he sounds like hes talking at times not "rapping" but take it for what it is. A positive release for the west coast, cos lets face us, times aint what they used to be.

Nip music always dropped at crucial times (ups and downs) of my life so his music is like a soundtrack to my life!

I never thought I'd see the day when he actually released this album. Been waiting for it for a long time now. I would say it's definitely a really solid project. I like that he didn't go overboard with the features and having Kendrick on a track was huge. Man though what was he thinking on that Keys 2 the City 2? At least Blue Laces 2 had a similar vibe to the original.

My favorite songs so far are:

Victory Lap
Dedication
Blue Laces 2
Loaded Bases
Real Big
Double Up
Right Hand To God


Anyone know where I can find the song featured in this video? Nip said you can find it at the end of Track 14, but it's not on the iTunes version I got.

Yes his previous "Mixtapes" are much better. After the first 8 songs it goes too quite and boring.
