This album sounds like one continous song with a few breaks. There is absolutley nothing redeeming, entertaining, or original on this album. I believe that Ice Cube's previous endevours have had an incredibley positive infulence on Rap music. This falls far short of that however. Whatever happened to "funky"? This album almost sounds like Ice Cube sat down with a drum machine, found a beat that he liked, and then wrote some songs, put them all to that same beat, and made an album. Not to mention his lyrical style is incredibly flat. Sounds like he is trying to sound like 2-pac on every single song.
