Props for all feedback. One purpose of these reviews is to create discussion, after all.

Side note: this is the closest I've come to handing out a 4 1/2 - excellent release, though not a classic in my humble opinion. The track with Slim Thug, and a couple of others that escape my memory, make sure of that... If they'd just taken a few tracks off each CD, the score might have hit 4 1/2...5? Well, "classic" is a term that can't be thrown around lightly. Just my thoughts though.

It's all good, i don't think it's a classic either...with a double disc your bound 2 get a couple filler from ANY artist in the game...plus some of the guests were wack as fuck...tracks 6-10 on disc 1 are avg, and barely listenable (not awful though)...those 2 tracks (i think like 9 & 10) that ft. a lot of artists would of made the album better if they were left off

I agree with u on the back-2-back women tracks on disc 1...i could of done without the dizzee rascal joint...and rick ross was ASS on cocaine, but that was still a good track 8)
