Not much can be said about this tape other than: amazing. This group features the best chemistry and member selection, I can think of, since EMC. I think it may be even more successful. My only complaint to the group is that listeners may have trouble distinguishing Crooked I from Royce. Their voice and delivery is pretty similar. Overall, I loved this tape. I would say there are a handful of 5-star songs and a bunch of 4-stars. I don’t think I disliked any of the songs. The mixtape is definitely entertaining and lyrically dynamic the entire way through. Joe Budden is actually becoming a rapper I can listen to. His 16-minute song summarizing the entire history of hip-hop was incredible. I don’t think I will ever get sick of it. I hope you all like this mixtape as much as I did. I think it is a great way to start the blog and really demonstrates what I am looking for in a mixtape. I give it a 4.5/5.

6/5...this mixtape is the best mixtape I have heard from a collective group of guys in like 4 or 5 years....honestly though!! And I ain't know Joe Budden could acually write like that....Royce Da 5'9 just may be the best unknown artist in the game (even though he has mad clout underground)
