I had to ask this question, becaus I am from L.A nd  don't kno aaanybody who is feelin him. To me, he is one of those manufactued rappers that radio stations (Power 106 in this case) is paid to blow up. But he sucks, his lyrics aren't the worst but his delivery is completely terrible, and the worst part is he gets dope ass beats, like on John Doe, and Where I wanna be. I hope people outside of L.A. don't think he is the future of the West Coast.

ya, I don't like this guy. weak flow, and his voice sucks ass. but, like you said, he's always laced with a nice beat, which is the only reason I listen to his tracks

I like him a lot. He just has that right relaxed flow, I like that. It's soemthing different than you hear usually.

eXACtly. I like him, dont see nothing wrong with him but I can understand when people say he's boring though. But personally I think he's dope, he has just a laid back flow that is different to everyone elses in the rap game.

Im from West L.A. and I like about a 1/3rd of the album.  He gets way too many spins on 106 for sure.. but still.. its WC.. and I support the WEST so I aint hatin.  1/3rd of the album is knockin.. its not groundbreaking.. but its nice.

Well personally I think Shade is extremely talented and came out with 1 of the best but also 1 of the most underrated westcoast albums this year,with his unique flow and Baby Ree Mastermind Damizza dropping them dope beats along with shade and him cordinating the project its no wonder Dj Quik called him the future of the west coastat his finale concert a few months bac

i think hes tight...true no lyrics...but he aint as bad as people make it seem...his album was one of the better albums of the year...to me

over all a good cd for a 1st one, but you just can't bang it because his flow is monotone
