there are only about 3 songs i listen to on the cd. what i expected was songs like what its like that mereged acoustic guitars and rap, but what i got was a bunch of uninspired rap songs that don't have very good beats. the lyrics are good, which adds a star to this review, but if you like the words and not the beat of a song, how long can you listen to it, really? i see many people really like this cd judging by the reveiws, so maybe its not my cup o' tea, but i would say listen to it fisrt b4 you buy it!
