I thought YOTW was alright, but his weakest studio album. Jesus Piece was great. Anyway, I listened to the first few tracks on this one at lunch and I like it a lot. It's not what you're expecting. It's weird - it has a very deliberate 90's hip hop sound. There's a track w/ Dre and Cube produced by Will.I.Am that throwbacks to "Rebirth Of Slick" of all things. There's tracks built on Pac's "I Get Around" and Erykah Badu's "On And On"... and this is the first 4 or 5 tracks. Really interesting album honestly. I'm sort of caught off guard.
