Very good and pretty consistent from start to finish, there were only a very few elements of this mixtape that I disliked. I think this is only slightly worse than Lord Willin' overall
Favorite track: Roll With The Winners
Least favorite: Play Your Part
The beats are really good and I love Jeezy's adlibs but I'm not a huge fan of his vocals on this album, I think his vocal performances on some of his later albums are way better
Not much for me to say because it's only 3 tracks long, definitely nothing crazy but all three tracks are pretty good
Favorite track: Rabbit Mode
Definitely not as good as Melt My Eyez, Imperial, or TA13OO but still pretty good. The hooks on some songs are definitely repetitive but the features and beats mostly make up for it
Favorite track: STILL IN THE PAINT
Least favorite: ANOTHA LATE NITE
The album and lyrics start to get a bit repetitive (and some of the lyrics are kind of tough to listen to because of R. Kelly's legal issues) and there are some mid tracks and I don't think it's as good as his previous three albums but a good album overall
Favorite track: The Storm Is Over Now
Least favorite: A Woman's Threat
The production is way different than the other MOTM albums, but overall it works pretty well. I do think that this album is definitely weaker compared to the other two MOTM albums in almost every way (sonically wise, concept wise, singing wise, etc), but overall still a very solid album
Favorite track: Solo Dolo, Pt. III
Least favorite: Show Out
I like the final 4 track run and Dope Man but the rest of the album is pretty forgettable and I honestly think that this is worse than Kingdom Come. It's kind of crazy that Jay-Z made one of the best hip-hop debut albums of all time and then his Volume series was a pretty big drop in quality, thankfully he stepped it back up with The Blueprint
Favorite track: Big Pimpin'
Least Favorite: Things That U Do
This mixtape doesn't have a "standout" track for me, but it's consistently pretty good from start to finish. I also really like the final 5 track run
Favorite track: SCRAMBLED EGGS - TBC :(
Least favorite: CELL BLOCK FREESTLYE / CD ON
I wasn't a huge fan of Act III, but I love the rest of the album. I really like the story throughout the album and the lyrics about Mr. Rager being addicted to cocaine
Favorite track: Scott Mescudi Vs. The World
Least favorite: Erase Me
Yeah sorry but this wasn't for me at all whatsoever, I know it's probably a part of his style, but I do not like Danny Brown's voice at all. I can definitely see why this album is called "SCARING THE HOES" (I will say though the Kingdom Hearts Key instrumental is insanely good)
Favorite track: Fentanyl Tester
Least favorite: God Loves You
GZA's rhyme scheme and lyrics are elite throughout the album, the features are great and the production is also pretty good though I wasn't absolutely mind blown by it
Favorite track: Living In The World Today
Least favorite: Labels
Pretty cool jazz rap production from Madlib, Stepping Into Tomorrow is a masterpiece
It has a lot of great tracks, but the replay value isn't really there for me
Favorite track: Guilty Conscience
It doesn't have that many amazing tracks, but it's consistently good from start to finish with a few misses at the end
Favorite track: 1-900-Hustler
Least favorite: Guilty Until Proven Innocent (The R O C is actually my least favorite but I just think it's hilarious on how badly R. Kelly's chorus aged)
Not quite on the level of The Infamous, (though that is almost impossible to replicate) but this album is still incredible and doesn't disappoint
Favorite track: G.O.D. Pt. III
Least favorite: Animal Instinct
Definitely has a couple of mediocre tracks but overall I enjoyed it
Favorite track: Poppin' Tags
Least favorite: What They Gonna Do

On Farixn's review of Dr. Dre - 2001
"I agree that this album is very bloated, the 2nd half has a lot of mid tracks and a lot of unnecessary skits (at least the 2nd half has The Message that song is one of the best on the album) If 2001 had around 12-13 tracks instead of 22 then I would have this as one of the best rap albums of all time"
