Legit one of the best rap albums I've ever heard. So fucking good from start to finish. Never gets repetitive or stale, every song hits and hits you with some of the strongest rapping performances on any album. Not to mention Madlib's incredible production on here my god to the beats just hit like a fresh chocolate-chip cookie straight out of the oven. The beat on Thuggin' alone solidified this as one of the greatest rap albums of the 2010s and may I even say... all time?

It's just a catchy as all hell jazz pop record with soul influences that blend so effortlessly together

Alrighty, I'm here to actually review this album because my god has grown on me. I already liked it on first listen, but it's only warmed up to me further thanks to a surprising number of catchy records like "Dancing with your eyes closed" and "Professional Vengeance." Obviously the production here is insane with some of the best EDM and digicore drops I've ever heard and the layers throughout the whole record are so dense and lush it's overwhelming.
