This album has some great hits and amazing features, but I would really like to focus on “Queens”
It is a very soulful and emotional song spoken in a similar theme to “Dance with the Devil” by Immortal Technique, the song is a very dark story told from a third person perspective about a boy who got to involved in the crime game which ultimately leads to his demise.

"The message is more important than the messenger" - Mach Hommy
Most of these songs have a deep meaning relating to the poverty and corrupt government issues in Haiti. Mach-Hommy is considered by many as a "Modern Day Shake-spear", no I did not discover this album from that one YouTube video.

J Dilla is definitely a better producer when he has a greater budget or work motive, this album conveys him just having fun with producing which is why some songs were probably just for his own listen.
Some songs were great instrumentals, and as his Mom said it was her favorite to listen around the house, so that opens up another window for the reason of this album.
not my favorite album made by Danny, definitely unique and Danny Brown always has a special touch to any track he touches, my favorite off this album is Y. B. P and I personally don't like the album cover.
Personally never understood why people always said not to listen to this album, not that bad however not every song is for me, still a very good Hip Hop album.
All those years of listening to Too Short got to him, this album is definitely not something to listen to around other people; with Atrocity Exhibition being a light exception. Paul White definitely stands out as a producer, he kind of just showed up and we all vibed with it.
