There is one simple goal at play here. Make an instrumental hip hop album with laid-back, psychedelic vibes. Nothing more, nothing less.
The result is something akin to the more laid-back and trippy tracks of De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Is it perfect? No. Does it do a good job? I think so. I like many of the melodies and beats throughout.
Based on some reviews, it seems like people were expecting a lot more from this album. But what's being done here, while not groundbreaking, is still pretty solid. It's for the head-nodders, really.
