I felt it was just missing that little touch to make it a 5-star album. I luv the human beat box track in Cipha All-Stars, and all the special guest appearances made this one real tight album. But the one thing I didn't really like was that this was some sort of a "techno/rock hip-hop" album, if you know what I mean. A little more bass would've really made this album all that. But, despite that, this is a really good freshman release and definately worth buying.
