Vince is on an elite run. This has all the musical enjoyability I expect from a Staples album, but he takes a different direction lyrically, focusing on political commentary more than ever before. He's touched on it before, but the way it takes center stage here is fully welcome considering the state our (my) country is in.

I love pretty much everything on this album, but how in the hell did Haarlem get on this album? You cannot tell me that second beat is remotely listenable.
Earl's writing is on point even in 2008/2009, but his delivery is weak and the mixing is terrible.
The production is the standout on this project for me. Billy Woods' rapping just isn't as good as I expected it to be, although it does shine through on a couple of tracks.
